Oh Gawd

Got through the school week! Obama won! Yey!

But then again National will probably win the NZ election - not good.

And the agent forgot to call around tonight which means there will be nothing to report. It really is very very slow. Have to be brave.

And fortunately I had a brain wave about the last full three days of teaching - I have already made some revision sheets for one of the three senior classes and will work on it for about four hours tomorrow and then it will all be done and if there's no time to teach it all I'll put it on the website. It's funny that I have the incentive to do that now - before all I could think about was selling the house - now I feel that's probaly not going to happen so I'm prepared to do the school work.

This weekend will be the last weekend ever that I'll have to do school stuff cos the seniors leave Wednesday. I guess I'll be able to manage it.

We had an open home when the American election results came to a head. We heard Obama's victory speech on the radio coming home from town and I was very very moved. It was the long period of cheering and the exultation you could hear in the crowd and the sense of what he'd had to overcome.
