Stupid Foreigner

hey all,

So a few weeks ago, I booked a trip for me and Michi, but it seems the travel company had us down for today instead of the 27th. We're trying to see if we can get them to reschedule us, but their confirmation e-mails did mention the 16th twice, so it is my bad for not catching them.

Normally, Michi takes care of these things, which goes to show how out of practice I am at it.

At work, we've started the second week of classes. Morning lessons are going OK, but some of the students seem to need a lot more work others. We've also had some complaints about one of the teacher's lackadaisical style.

I finally finished the last book of the Wheel of Time. There is a chapter in it that is 200 pages long, I kid you not. Several quasi-main characters are killed off, some of them deserving it, some it seems like they just got unlucky. Since the last book depicted the Last Battle between Good and Evil, the death of the characters shows their commitment to the struggle, and I guess lets the readers know the author wasn't pulling any punches. Still, unlike GRRM, Jordan wasn't known for killing off characters before.

Cheers,
