Hols

I’m more or less on my hols at the moment, well it’s not really a hooliday just a break between the two semesters. During this time I’ve been trying to rest my leg and also watching a lot of movies too   We love watching movies, it’s a shame that there isn’t a cinema near to our city. There was one but it was closed quite a while back from lack of customers. All the movies were really old too, they appeared only months after everywhere else. Movies usually shown here are big blockbusters and for small cinemas like the one that existed here probably don’t have the money to get them as soon as they are released. I watched Hulk2 the other night, it’s not too bad. I don’t really see why people were whining about it. The story is about a guy who turns green and has superhuman  strength when he gets angry, what do they expect from the film? hahahaha!! I watched Pathology last night, an excellent movie and not so grusome as say the Saw movies. We liked it a lot. My next movies I really want to see is The dark knight, I’ll have to go to Brasilia to see it though, not sure when that will be.

I’ve been having a few problems with the owner of the other school I work in. He’s supposed to have been coming to the school here for the last couple of weeks but always we get fobbed off with some weak excuse. Roberta and I really don’t have the time or patience to keep calling him all of the time to chase after him. My patience is running out very quickly now, I would have thought that with him being the main franchiser he would be more interested in getting the school up and running. He needs to solve this soon, we are quickly becoming tired of this

testing, testing..

I finally got quite a few exercises up and running in Quizlet and created the links for them in the students wikis or I created a new Wikispace wiki as in the case of my EPG groups. I got them to take a quick look at the site this morning during the coffee break so they could have a quick look see and ask any question they might have about how to get into the site, using and configuring, etc. The Quizlet site is very simple to use and setup, the students only need is to register in the site to use the learn function. I will find out next weekend how they got on with it. They have my email and phone no just in case they want to call me about it. I think it’ll be a lot of fun for them to try it out. I have some to create for my MEC2 group this weekend, it’ll only take a short amount of time though. The site is really fast and does all of the hard work for me so by Monday morning I’ll have it all sorted out and ready to give the links to my students

Also this weekend I have to remember to pick up the stuff to make a cake for my kids group at Cambridge. I thought I’d get Roberta to give me a hand to knock one out Sunday night to take there Monday with some soft drink, just for a surprise   They have been working hard recently so I think it’ll be a nice treat for them. I’ll try to remember to take the camera with me to get some snaps of them, if they aren’t camera shy, of course   I like baking cakes and stuff for the students, it’s a nice way to relax with them after they’ve been working hard during the semester. Sometimes if we are ahead of the schedule we watch a movie in English and have a lanche or snack. This always goes down really well, students love watching movies hahahaha!! Usually we watch comedies or action movies, although I’m sure the girls would watch romance if the boys would let them
