TGIF!

Well I have deliberately made an easy day for myself. Not only did my 8th graders get to eat their cake (but not have it) but I have a movie for the 9th graders. It is a hard movie to watch as I did that already last night as I had to make comprehension questions. However, Hotel Rwanda is an important film and though it may be deemed a bit gory for them, they need to know. I would recommend it to anyone interested in history, recent as it maybe. Its a good example of how the west can just turn its back on obvious genocide when there is nothing to gain from the nation in question!

...2 hours later.

Well, as I discovered, I like slow films. Hotel Rwanda is a very slow moving film by the standards of teens today so they did get fidgetty, but they did like it and want to see the end on Monday. I have a couple of history fanatics in my class so they were right into it. But it IS a slow paced film.

Tonight is turkey night. Brent is going to end up cooking it (God help us. Its his first try at it- his first try at real cooking in fact) since I will be stuck here in school for yet another parents meeting. Grade niners this time and I will have much fewer nice things to say about them- thats for sure! Can one really say "Your kid is a pain in the ass!" to a parent? I wonder.

Off to the police station again to apply for my resident card. This will also give me multiple entry on my D visa which I picked up on Monday. Without it I will have to spend Christmas here, and that is just not an option. I have a very important man waiting for me in England.

Well, I have to go and cut up my mug shots (I really do look like I need a number running at the bottom of these last portrairs I took at the photo shop), and prep for Monday.

Off to Plovdiv tomorrow.
