I can't believe this is my third birthday I have celebrated in Indonesia! The last two and a half years have flown by and here we are nearly at Christmas holidays. In the pic I'm surrounded by my Grade 12 A1HL class. This is definitely one of my favourite groups of kids and they threw me a "cake party" on Friday. Sweet kids!This past term has been quite the whirlwind of activity. Lots of school events, lots of exams to prepare kids for and now piles of them to mark - exams not kids. The school days have flown by and the weekends have been packed with fun activities (generally activities that aid in the procrastination of said marking).
My Grade 12s are fairly nostalgic about everything they go through this year. It is so often said: "Guys, this is our last Friday in November that we'll be in high school" or "Hey Everyone, this is our last high school field trip or soccer day". Their nostalgia is paired with my own, realizing that this group of students that I have grown rather attached to will be graduating in June and then off they go into this big crazy world to make something of themselves. So we're a sentimental group, we are.
That being said, I am extremely excited about being back in Canada for Christmas! I just can't handle this December heat anymore when trying to get in the Christmas mood. The weather outside is frightful for completely different reasons!
Anyway I'll be flying into Toronto December 15th and living large until January 4th! Hope to see you then!

Happy Birthday!
Okay, so yeah, your birthday's been over for a while and I actually took you out to lunch. I have an ulterior movtive: I have a blog now and I'm too stupid to know how to email you the link.
