A Tuesday in the Life of Mr. Sammy...

Well, I guess there is no such thing as a typical day here but here goes. A little before 6:30 alarm #1 went off, shortly followed by alarm #2. I waited in bed a few minutes until the bathroom was free and showered. Was in the staff room by 7:20 or so for the weekly 7:30 staff meeting. Was in my class room by about 8:20 or so to get ready for the day. At 8:30 (GES time, which is 6 minutes ahead of the world) the day began. 8:30-9:00 is devotions with my Grade 8 homeroom. I have 15 students. This week our topic is "God Began to Fulfill His Promises Concerning John and Jesus." At 9:00 was flag ceremony. Our students line up outside the classrooms. The grades 6, 7, and 8 classrooms are on the 3rd floor. During flag two students from a different grade each day raise the flag while the national anthem is played. After that Ms. Colleen prays and then we say the school philosophy in English and Thai (Inspiring to Live, Learn, and Communicate With Excellence). After we have announcements. Today from 9:15 - (random insert: michael jackson has the rights to over a hundred Beatles songs (I'm listening to ctv news)) 10:15 I had a prep and then 10:15-10:45 I had grade 8 math. Today we dealt with percentages. After recess I had grade 9 computers from 11:00-12:00. I had them go through an Excel tutorial. From 12:00-12:30 is lunch. Today I had rice, some gross pork/mushroom dish, chicken, and watermelon. By the time I had eaten and ran to my place to wash my hands (soap and paper towels / blow dryers aren't very popular here) and brush my teeth lunch is over, so I try to eat as fast as possible. From 12:30 - 1:30 I had grade 7 math. We went over coordinate planes, but by the time I finished the material class was pretty much over, so I will give them next class to work on questions (already a class behind). I had a prep from 1:30-2:30 which I spent getting ready for grade 6 math and then I worked on one of the computers here since my administrative duty (as soon as amanda leaves in August, we will not have an administrator) is to be in charge of the computers (which includes do the webpage apparently). I had grade 6 math from 2:30 - 3:30. We talked about the divisibility rules. After school was over I went down the block to the soi and got a Orange/Carrot shake from Oot. You choose what ingredients you want and then she makes it for you in a blender. Then it gets poured into a plastic bag and you drink it with a straw. Very delicious. I then went to my classroom to work till about 6. I did my grade 8 lesson plans for next week and marked 2 grade 7 assignments. I then walked over to Big C and had supper at KFC (combo #4, 4 spicy drumsticks)) with an icecream cone for dessert and then I bought a few snacks from Big C and a mechanical pencil. Got back and worked in my classroom to about 9:30. Got 2 grade 6 assignments marked and looked over tomorrow's material. Then I came here.
