Week Report

Hello again!  This is Bryan, reporting live from London England.  The weather for the past bit has been up and down but in the low 20s... typical British summer :).  Now let's look at the breaking news.

At the top of the list, last Wednesday was my birthday!  I'm now the big 2-7 (or as my sister likes to say "in my LATE 20s).  There's not much to say aside from the date... it was a normal working day and I didn't even make it out for a pint to toast the occasion.  Don't worry though, I managed to sneak out on the weekend for a drink with a few friends as I watched the Netherlands and Spain battle it out for the World Cup.  (Incredibly, it was a very exciting game... fast moving with so many penalties handed out I felt like I was watching a hockey game lol.)  I'd like to thank everyone for their wishes and cards.  I do miss you all and look forward to seeing you this coming Christmas (my flight has been booked!). 

This brings us to our weekly countdown - to the end of the term!  I have another week after this before school breaks up for the summer.  Of course, this also means I have another 2 pay checks until September... sigh.  Oh well, I have my European vacation to cheer me up!   One of the great things about working in Europe is how close everything is to travel to... may as well take advantage while I'm here.  Yes, I know... I don't understand how departing on an expensive trip (on which I'll be spending even more money) makes me feel better about my finances either... but it does :).

With the imminent ending of the school year, its time to finish up all those loose ends that have been put off.  Today's project was updating the SEN folders (wait... you mean those papers were actually to be used for something?!... kidding kidding lol).  I think next week is shaping up to be a quiet one.  Last class trips (the nursery is getting a teddy bear picnic :) and finishing up the year.  Staff-wise, we're holding a little party to say good-bye to several members.  A little sad,  but they're going on to bigger and better things.
