Year and o'Half

Well, today is Andrew's and my year and a half anniversary... it's pretty swell!

Sad-uh...

I suffered a huge loss today. My amazing English-speaking pharmacist is gone and in her place, a stoic man now resides.

Sigh.

Dis-naaaaay

This year in our after-school English program, we are using a set of English books called "English Land". These books use Disney characters to present all of the target language, which is really helpful since kids everywhere have an unexplainable and profound love of Disney.

It's even more helpful when your co-teacher decides that since the books have Disney characters, watching Disney movies is educational...

Cheers to an easy Friday afternoon with The Little Mermaid on DVD!

April First

Today, I got a call from my school's vice principal at my desk. The conversation went as follows:

Vice Principal: Kayleigh, you must go to the principal's office right away.

Kayleigh: Should I bring a co-teacher?

VP: No, just you, you must go now.

K: He doesn't speak any English, though. Are you sure I shouldn't bring a co-teacher?

VP: Yes, just go now. Please hurry.

I rushed downstairs, thinking I was in some sort of trouble. I recently asked a very large favor of the principal, and I was starting to worry that he would rescind it. I also worried that maybe I was in trouble for something having to do with the new after-school English program we started this school year.

I reach his office on the first floor, only to find that the lights were off and the door was locked. I stood confused for a minute, before going up to the vice-principal's office.

K: The principal wasn't there.

VP: Yes, he is on a business trip.

K: But you just called me and told me to go to his office. (Cue me standing in stunned silence, totally confused at what was happening.)

VP: Kayleigh, today in the U.S.A. it is April Fool's Day. Very interesting.

Happy April Fool's Day, all!
