hey all,
My latest and thankfully last curriculum design class has started. I just turned in the first assignment. The instructor is one of the tougher ones in the series, so my fingers are crossed.
On Friday, we had a Halloween party at school. Really fun, but exhausting.
I picked up Dishonored, which has been really fun but challenging. You can explore the maps and levels really thoroughly, but it is difficult to remain hidden from the guards, etc. Great game so far.
Last weekend Michi and I went indoor climbing for the first time in months. We both sucked, and had no stamina, but it was fun to be back on the walls again. If the weather is nice, we might climb Mt. Takao tomorrow, or we might go climbing again.
I've continued to hack and chip away at the biome packet. I think it is much better this time around, and I think I will use it for my curriculum design project.
That's all for now,

One More Class
hey all,
Been really busy, as I'm sure all you of have been as well.
The trip to the zoo a week ago went really smoothly. It was a little rainy, but cooler. Because of that, the animals were a little easier to find and a little more active. The students had fun and answered my questions pretty well.
This weekend I just handed in my last assignment for my current curriculum design course. One more class to go and then I finish and get my certificate.
Not sure if it is the time of year, but a ton of my students have taken ill with one thing or another.
Michi is over in Taiwan at the moment. Her new company doesn't start until December, so she's been taking lots of trips that she otherwise wouldn't get a chance to take. I believe it is a yoga retreat/workshop. She's also been helping me a lot with my lunches and dinners, which has been really sweet of her.
Like last year around this time, I've started working on the biome packet again. The last one took a ton of time, but still left a lot to be desired. I've been trimming it down, and changing the questions, and of course designing more graphics, charts, Venn diagrams etc.
In any case, it's been a lonely week without Michi, so that's all for now.
Cheers,
