Tuesday is not late enough in the week for me

Yesterday was the regular CIR meeting. Everyone has decided finally to do something with this time and are devising a curriculum for next year. I say everyone, but what I really mean is everyone else. I am leaving in March and so have a bit of trouble actually caring whether the year 5s learn the months this year or next year. Meh. So I just sat there and kept out of it all, even when people were saying completely ridiculous things that made little sense. No point getting involved in it when it doesn't even matter. One of the teachers has just decided to take the whole month of meetings off (although he is technically still "there" of course) and is instead using the time to get his Japanese license. We assume from his continued absence that he has not been successful in that endeavour yet.

Next week the school plays are happening on Wednesday so frantic preparations are underway over here. Unfortunately hardly any of my classes have been cancelled this week. Only one in fact. BOO. But next week the plays and so on should provide some welcome interruptions. The Thursday is a public holiday. What a ridiculous thing, a holiday in the middle of the week. That's when the Thanksgiving dinner thing is happening so hopefully that will be fun and I won't care too much about having to go back into work the next day...
