So, today is the last Saturday class. We had 10 each semester, so I've had these kids for a total of 40 hours. What did we do? The time went so fast. It has been, by far, my favorite class to teach. I think that's because writing is one of my passions and I feel like I have a good knowledge base to pass on. And because grade 7 and 8's are just the best. They all get certificates today, that Kathy brought from Canada.
Last night, I was so excited because I finally bought an MP3 player. Kathy bought one a few days ago, and she was having so much fun with her toy, I needed one! We both bought ones on sale, mine was about $120 ($40 off). And Kathy, who did all the research, said it has good reviews. So I now own the 512 MB MuVo TX FM MP3 Player. I wanted an i-pod mini, but Kathleen convinced me that it didn't make sense in Taiwan.
THen of course, I came home to the bad news that they had given us a replacement laptop that was almost entirely in Chinese, still couldn't get the internet, and wouldn't save anything. So I have an MP3 player and no way to put music on it. Kathleen is very stressed about the situation. She actually yelled at me about it. So I suggest not mentioning anything about computers to her until this is all sorted out, she'll have a panic attack. (=
Finally, I bought two new cds. Damien RIce, O, which I've wanted for awhile. Nice, calm, mellow, walking to work music.
Then I bought Black Eyed Peas new cd, Monkey Business, for listening to at the gym. I didn't know they had a new album, so I was happy to find it. I just looked it up online, and it doesn't come out in the US until Tuesday, June 7! Well, lucky me. I really like it, highly recommend for Ellipticals. Oh, and the funny thing is that because it is for Taiwan, they had an extra insert with all of the lyrics written out. There's a good reason they don't put the lyrics in, when you read it, it sounds insanely stupid. I'll have to quote some later!
