Back to school

I've been amiss at writing, maybe because I was enjoying the time off and was not very concerned about fulfilling commitments !  A weekend away with friends, reflecting and sharing together, a holiday (SabaSaba) and today back at school.  And so I guess it's time to get back in the groove.

This second term of the school year always seems like a short one.  Two classes have national examinations, and before those exams, a "mock" exam is always done, so there is quite a bit of time spent in doing exams. There's also graduation (in October) to plan for and get together.  This month is Ramadhan, and so at the end of the fasting period there will be two holidays.  And  life goes on, trying to cover all the topics that need to be covered in class, trying to make learning fun and interesting for the students, working with them to internalize their moral and ethical and spiritual responsibilities - Lots of good moments all in all.

It was nice to see my colleagues this morning.  We have a good staff and a great group to work with, and there's always something interesting going on with them.  This morning there was talk about who will win the World Cup, of course.  We'll see if their predictions come true.
