I didn't realize it was Teachers Day until one of my students brought me a flower this morning. She explained that it's a way to show appreciation for teachers, except they don't get the day off. This might also explain why we went to the opera last night.
This afternoon a student I hadn't met knocked on my door with some Teachers Day buns/pastries, nuts and dried fruit for us. He's not taking any English classes and wants a tutor on Friday afternoons, so I said I would look into it.
Classes are going well. We go straight through January, except for exams and a few long weekends, but then we get a four-week (paid) vacation from Jan. 26-Feb. 24.
Add to the list of blocked Web sites (not that this is surprising) Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Freedom Forum.
