Greetings from the other half … William decided to volunteer at the Embassy today and he is stocking shelves at the Liberty Store! He must have flown out of here because the breakfast dishes aren’t done and he didn’t even put the cream away. Very un-William-esque.
I’ve had a busy week at AAS – in some ways it felt like I’d been gone forever, not just 3 weeks, and in other ways it was as though we didn’t even have a weekend off much less a real vacation. I guess it’s good that your brain works that way because it means you can hit the ground running when you return. On Wednesday I led a workshop for the entire faculty (140 strong) along with my friend Peggy who is the Director of Curriculum and is also new this year. We put the teachers to work answering our questions about the best ways to get the students to use technology in the classroom. It went well and now we get to respond to their answers; in other words, now the real work begins.
We have quite a bit of snow on the ground and the forest near the school is just beautiful. Walking remains treacherous wherever you go, although lately the crews have been working on the sidewalks and parking lots since we haven’t had much accumulation of snow for at least a week and the roads are clear.
I am worried sick about dinner because I came home to an empty apartment with no aromas emanating from the kitchen. What to do?! I suppose I should start cooking – duh – but our Russian tutor comes tonight so I don’t really have time. Either we’ll have peanut butter or we’ll go out to eat.
I can hardly wait for Wm’s oral report on his exciting day at the Embassy – you’ll have to wait until tomorrow though for the written report.
Love, Cindy (and Wm)
