Kung Hei Fat Choy!!

Happy Year of the Tiger!

Since it is the New Year, Cassie and I will have to make a trip to HK to have our fortune's read again. The last time we went I was told my health would get better in the fall, and that was the time that I was able to start eating dairy again! Coincidence? Possibly. It was still fun though.

So here in Macau the fireworks start as soon as it gets dark and don't really stop until the wee hours. I am grateful for my ear plugs!

Life is really busy, and will hopefully resume to some normalcy in the next month. Everything that is happening is all good, and all at once, leaving me feeling slightly overwhelmed.

1. The Student Council is organizing a benefit concert to raise funds for Haiti on Feb.26th - yay! We have about 20 acts performing, it will be great!
2. From March 7-13th our students are on Experience Week and I am the lucky leader of a scuba trip to Phuket, Thailand. This has been a lot of work to organize, but I know it will all pay off.
3. Student Teachers from U of A start on Monday and will be at TIS for 9 weeks! I am sharing 2 student teachers which will be a great new experience for me! I have a feeling that it will be nice to have my classroom back at the end of April :)

Also, I haven't made this too widely known yet, but I guess it is overdue- I am staying another year here at TIS! I will be home for the summer and also plan to come home for Christmas and New Years as well. I am really excited with my choice of staying and look forward to the opportunities for me to develop even more as an educator.

I guess that is all for now! I am finding myself glued to any Olympic information that is out there, though access to programs are sparse! GO CANADA!
