Writing about nothing

Here I am blogging again - I'm getting quite into this! This week Amanda and I are house sitting for Dave and Esther and they have fast internet and so I'm making the most of it!

Life has been fairly uneventful since the cockroach incident. We had exam week which was manic and then this weekend we had marking and grading to do. We have to mark the exams and then grade the children to see if they passed the Parcial (term). The grades are all based around crazy marks and percentages - things like behaviour, punctuality, listening, quizzes (small tests)and participation, as well as the exams. If they fail the parcial we have to give them re-cuperation exams as well as extra classes! Joy! So this weekend the guys and I simply marked! Amanda was still in Canada (she got back yesterday) and so we turned my side of the house into an 'office' and basically all lived there working. We put Disney DVD's on for company and camped out with our mark books. I actually got mine finished and so baked cakes and banana muffins in the kitchen and then made the meals etc whilst the boys graded - gave me something to do. I felt quite domesticated! It was nice to spend some time with the boys to get to know them better - even if it was bonding through work! I'm not sure how long this domestic streak will last - Mark and Noel are encouraging it needless to say!
