Let them eat cake

Well, I told my intermediate class a month and a half ago that if they did their homeowrk for an entire month, I would have a surprise for them. Tomorrow is the one month marker (they goofed up a couple of times) and so I went and bought them a cake. It is beautiful, delicious and about as heavy as Oscar.

As I walked back to school, cake in hand, my director Peter spotted me. He asked me what it was and why I had it and I explained to him what the situation was. He said "I wish I had a teacher like you!" THIS coming from our director is the utmost compliment! He is a very together man.; an extremely efficient director and an amazing teacher as well. I admire this man immensely, and I was grinning ear to ear. I said "It's the cake isnt it?" And he said "No, it's the attitude!"

Well I will be grinning ear to ear for a few more hours over this one.

Peter also lent me his laptop so that I can watch Hotel Rowanda tonight at home which I have rented for the grade 9s, and I need to make comprehension questions etc. I get to watch a good movie tonight. I am SO thrilled! FRANCO WE WERE SUPPOSED TO WATCH IT TOGETHER.

The PA is playing Jingle Bells. WHY WHY WHY????? I think I am going to lose my piece of cake (Oh yes, Petya and I sat down and tried a piece before buying the entire cake since they had 2 there.)

Thursday, one of my hardest days and yet all in all a good one today. And TGIF tomorrow and I get to have a party with the intermediates and watch a film with the grade nines and then have thanksgiving dinner with my co-workers.

Mom I need cooking instructions for a 3.5 kilo turkey!!!
