Wow, that's a long time.

Well, I just checked on the last post for us here: Christmas. If that doesn't say lazy, I don't know what does. Well, maybe not lazy, but certainly busy. C and I have had a very, very, very busy 'vacation' from school over the winter break. Combined, I've had 2 days off that weren't national holidays. C is in the same boat... We've both been teaching at winter English camps, both at our regular schools and at Buchun Elementary. I had two weeks of 3rd and 4th grade, then two weeks of Buchun, then 2 weeks of 5th and 6th grade camp. It's been a challenge.

Oddly enough, I discovered, that, contrary to my expectations, dealing with 3rd and 4th graders is much easier than 5th and 6th. My most difficult classes are ones with the oldest students. I always thought of myself as much better at polishing rather than shaping, but these students are definitely a challenge.
