School's Out For Summer!
The last week of school has been very busy...
Tuesday night we had an end of year concert with traditional Scottish music (bagpiping fools!) followed by drinks. Teachers got drunk.
Wednesday night we had a retirement dinner for 4 retirees. There were speeches. Teachers got drunk.
Thursday afternoon I had my interview to determine whether I had a job next year. It was a very stressful day. However, I perservered and I was successful. That night, I celebrated by getting drunk with a couple of other teachers.
Today (Friday) was a fitting Canada Day - the day that the "Canadian teacher" stays in Scotland. I arrived at school to find posters announcing that I had the job for next year and that is was CANADA DAY! The kids seemed to enjoy both of these announcements. We were only there for half of a day so we were able to go for a round of golf in the afternoon. I had one of my best rounds all year.
Tomorrow I am playing hockey in Perth. Sweet!
I leave for my holidays on Wednesday so I have a lot of stuff to get sorted before then. It's gonna suck.
