woohoo, i am more than halfway through my reports, which are due in tomorrow. I'm getting much quicker at doing them now. I took much satisfaction in writing two horrid reports for the boys in my naughty class, they included the phrase "I do not know why x even comes to English school". take that! mwah-ha-ha. of course, it would be even better if their parents could read the reports, and if our reports made any sort of a difference to the the kids' attitudes, but hey.
we have another holiday coming up, no work on Friday and Saturday. every 3 or 4 months all the classes rotate around, so from Monday onwards I'll have all new classes. more names to remember, and I only just got all the other names sorted. Actually that's a lie, one of my elementary 5 classes still confuses me. 5 of the boys all act the same and kind of look the same, and I still get confused. This made writing their reports extra fun.

In other news, I'm a bit lonely this week, as Ana and Tynessa are in Thailand, boo-hoo. Luckily, I have a busy weekend schedule coming up: lunch with Nina and her parents on Friday at the only veggie place we can find in town, "Mr Pizza", dinner with Monica and Patrick from work on Friday evening, Korean classes on Saturday, and then another dinner on Saturday night. I also might go on the hunt for an elusive Pakistani shop that is rumored to have chickpeas and actual Indian spices. Its easy to get excited about small things like that over here.

Hello ingrid! :) i have a new haircut, which is all straight and flicky, in my mission to grow my hair out! It looks like a short long style, rather than a long scruffy short style, if that makes sense? Anyway, i am happy, off to buy a straightener, which i am so going to burn myself using, but hey! Hope you are happy,
nicx
