Accidentally just killed a very nice post, damnit. In short form:

• Having difficulty transitioning back to studenthood after teaching kids who were facing drought and famine and other overwhelming issues. To be sitting in a classroom in Canada and talking about petty little things like being interrupted by the P.A. system while teaching is surreal.


• Am missing my students in Kenya dreadfully.


• I, along with a number of other people who went on the trip, was interviewed by an Ontario magazine on teachers and education about the experience. I think I did well -- I sounded intelligent to my own ears, anyway. Article is due out in the June or July issue.


• I have coffee. I really like coffee.


• I have a lot of school things due next week. Mind you, I only have three weeks of classes left, plus exams, then one more session of practice teaching before I am a qualified teacher. My goodness, the time has flown!
