3 Days and we board ...

It's Tuesday, our last one in Canada,  already and we still have dinners to attend and people to see. It will be nice to get back to our daily routine in Malaysia. Up at 5:30, coffee and peanut butter toast for 30 minutes; 1 hour to shower and get dressed; and then downstairs for our van ride to Taylor's. Sounds kind of boring, but it is far from boring.

300 new minds to warp (sorry, educate :-)), and 10 new rookies (teachers) to break in. We also have a new vice-principal that we will be kind and gentle with (maybe).

Apparently registration has gone much better than we anticipated and there could be problems with scheduling of teachers as we try to juggle our teachers and classes to meet the needs of our students. I will find out Sunday if I manage to stay awake (jet lag).

It will be great to see the students I taught last semester. They grow and mature so fast at CPU and it's wonderful to see them become more confident and outgoing.

I really should go and get a new science fantasy book to get me through the witching hour of the 14 hour flight from Toronto to Himg Kong. That is the time period from 7 pm  to midnight that usually occurs about 6 hours into the flight after I have watched 3 movies. I can usually drift off to semi sleep after midnight and before you know it, they are serving breakfast and we are landing.

I am enjoying my last few days in Canada,

TTYL,

Jim
