NEUERBURG - long weekend

GERMANY

Thank the Lord.

This week finished on Thursday, for reasons I'm still not certain of. The gist seemed to be that Thursday was a voluntary day; in the words of those who tried to explain it to me "the kids can come to lessons and stay here, or they can go home". I don't know how educationally rewarding it was for them, but I didn't end up doing anything on Thursday.

In addition to this, Friday was also a day off, just for teachers, and Monday is free as well apparently. Sadly, in my 5 day weekend, this is the first time the Internets kicked in. 48 hours without internet in Neuerburg is a sad affair.

Thus, there is nothing new really to report. You all seem to have seen on facebook that I kicked a kid out of my class. 25 'likes' is quite a special record. Menial stuff like that suddenly becomes very exciting when you live where I do. I guess the only other thing worth mentioning is that today is the first anniversary of where the mild things are.

Happy birthday you little fucker.
