The last week has been spent getting ready for school to begin. Meetings, meetings, meetings, and more meetings-- assemblies abound as we get ready for the students to arrive. I have been prepping the Great Gatsby which has been a great experience, my limited but increased life experience has certainly enriched my enjoyment. I am helping out with a couple IB courses and it looks like I will have a large part in the Speech elective. It is not a largely important class in the course of things but it will be populated (I believe) primarily by students who need to learn to speak better for IB and school presentation purposes. (For those who don't know, the IB is the International Baccalaureate, learn about it here.
Last week I went to a happy hour at the Australian Club which was a lot of fun and surprisingly cheap. The "Country Clubs" as they might be called appear to be the main gathering places besides house parties, so I look forward to exploring the Dutch, Nordic and British Clubs as well as the my home American club.
Our maid has been a bit of a strain recently, and I think that she may have taken my bar of soap from my bathroom (it is missing either way) to use in the guest bathroom in which she showers after a day's work. Unfortunately I am out of the house when she is home so I haven't had an opportunity to confront her, although our communication difficulties might make it a moot point.
One of my house mates, Sara, came down with a stomach bug during this time and has since decided to eat far more western foood after being gung ho about the adventures of Bangladeshi food. So far so good for me, although I would love a nice turkey sandwhich.
