Teacher Talk in Edinburgh
I started the weekend by playing a decent round of golf at the staff tournament. Good day at a good course.
I went down to Edinburgh on Saturday night for an "end of year social" with a few other foreign teachers. The turn-out was low and disappointing; only about 12 people of a possible 40. A couple of cool people in the bunch. It turned out to be a pretty tame night which consisted of a lot of "teacher talk" (So, where do you teach? What are your plans for next year? blah, blah, blah). The only remedy to ease the pain of the monotony was a consistent full pint glass in hand. Slowly, the night got better.
