Yes, it's been ages since I've updated. My mom was here for two weeks, and the second of those two weeks was our half-term break.

Things are going ok. I keep finding little things about the British system and curriculum that just make me scratch my head and go, huh? But the kids are pretty awesome, and I'm having a ball when I'm working with them. I've had mostly success with everything I'm doing. I need to work a bit in one area, making my lesson a bit more structured. But I think I'm getting through to that group well. :D

One thing I'm really proud of is a lesson I did. My lesson, entirely. But my cooperating teacher was being observed, because it's his first year here. We were doing my lesson that week, but since the secondary head was coming in specifically to see him, he had to do the teaching that day. That day rolls around, and Kraig's sick. Voice is almost gone, fever, sweating, the works. But he still had to teach it, though I ended up doing more than we had originally intended. Not the ideal situation at all. But he got a really good review- as did the lesson in general. And he wrote some good comments for me in there as well. I'm pleased!

I got the new Battlestar CD- LOVE LOVE LOVE. Peeved about this April thing- I'd really like to know what is going on in the brains of The Powers That Be over at SciFi and NBC Universal. A 14-month hiatus? Are they high, or insane or something?

I somehow have to go to Laos or Singapore or someplace NOT Cambodia this weekend. I really dislike that part of my experience here.

Tonight's goals-
1. Make midi files of the accompaniments for choir things
2. Write, or at least start, my unit plan for the 11s- musical theatre.
3. Watch Heroes!
4. Finish paperwork. I hate paperwork.
5. Write a more comprehensive update for this thing!

I'm sorry I'm such a horrible communicator. I'd give my spleen for decent internet access- getting a better signal here, or getting internet at my apartment AT ALL. It's just not time or cost effective to call people, or write emails to everyone I want to write to. And it's driving me INSANE, because I do like communicating with my friends and family, ya know.
