Two things escaped my attention. 1st, is the fact that the majority, if not all of the people at vespers couldn't begin to grasp the magnitude of the numbers that we were talking about. To be entirely fair, I don't think that any one can perfectly. I am afraid that some of the numerical stuff went over everyones' heads. None the less, it worked out all right.
I have kept experimenting with different ways of teaching and grading, and I find that if I stay in the school building instead of coming back to my room on breaks, I tend to get much more work done. The bad thing is that every time I want to move my computer, I have to shut it down. The battery still doesn't charge on it, and that means that I essentially have an underpowered, light desktop computer. Kinda inconvenient. Still, I have gotten a lot more work done that way.
I have also been working on Great Controversy. I really enjoy the historical stuff, and I appreciate a new perspective on it all. After all, the majority of history from that time is told from the perspective of the Catholic Church. As they say, the winners are the ones who get to write the histories.
Physical science is leaving the pure, fascinating world of physics and moving into the less fun world of chemistry. oh well, i guess the intro-chem stuff is kinda interesting, before everything gets lame. Having 3 classes of Physical Science all moving at different paces kinda confuses things. I am not keeping up with any of them as I should.
We had a girl here from Australia for 2 weeks, which was really fun. She helped Annie out with ESL, and was a HUGE hit with the dorm kids. She was a neat girl. Then, one of the AFM workers from up north came down to the city with her bosses for some meetings. It was nice to see her, and we got to go to a restaurant over near the river for some very expensive food. The chocolate milk was worth it though.
