Contratulations to the Class of 2007!

Tonight was the Modern Knowledge Schools high school graduation ceremony. I had a few of the graduates in my psychology class this year so at least I knew some of the students personally. The ceremony was ok, it was very different from what you get in the states, but you still get some higher up with the 'I certify that these students met the requirements...' speech. And the valedictorian speech "I"m gonna miss all of you and high school was the greatest time of my life..."I find it really difficult for me to sit through those speeches. High school was far from the greatest time in my life. I'm finding that the longer I stay on my current path, the more interesting my life gets. I have no regrets for following the words of wisdom from my sister's salutatorian speech.

Also, I will be heading back to the states fairly soon (less than a week!). I am very excited about coming back and being able to tell stories in person.

the last week of school

I made it to this the last week of school for MKS 2006/2007. I have 3 more days of school and I am wrapping things up. My kids have exams after classes end and then they are done. I'll have dead week to clean and turn in everything--then I can come back to the States and tell more tales, in person.

For now, I am doing my best to survive and deal with sinuses that are staging a rebellion because heat/humidity + air conditioned buildings = sinus nightmares.
