*tucks Mari back in and hands her some ear plugs*
Sigh, there goes another Sunday, just got a rather pretentious letter detailing I have been 'honoured' to spend my time as back-up to man the voting station for the election next month.

I haven't been busy with finals, just other stuff. Come to think of it I didn't really have any finals. I got some good news today. Even though bill 1010 didn't get the incentive part past (it would have given film incentives to filmmakers in Colorado) the film coalition now may have more influence with the government which will help the industry and as a result the state. Excuse me while I speak film student.

*pops in for a quick cup of tea*
I started teaching properly this week. I love my class so much, they're all very sweet and they try so hard to learn. Most of the time. Four year olds don't have the best attention span - but I can see progress already!

*wakes up and unplugs her ears* Thanks Earn. I could use a good long sleep.
Manning the voting boot? How come you have to do that? Is it random choosing? Aika, hehe, no, indeed they don't. I'm glad you are enjoying it! What sort of things are you doing with the kids?

Well, they know letters and numbers, so I'm trying to build up to some simple addition and spelling short words - that's the main focus of learning, but we have plenty of games, singing and storytelling as well! I think it's important at their age for 'schoolwork' to be blended in with varied activities - they're less bored and more eager to learn that way!
The school doesn't have much in the way of resources, so I'm quite limited in what i can actually do - I'm trying to find ways to be inventive, though! As long as the kids are learning, and enjoying doing so, then all is good. See you all next week!

Can't wait to see what happens when you are the one who has to be summoned to court and put in jail .

Eärniel, no, not that I know off. Most of those people are volunteers, often (retired) people who used to be active for their political parties. The people I've seen were usually over 50 in any case.

Will they give her Internet access in her cell, so she can go on Entmoot as usual - perhaps have even more time for it than she has now?

Oh I'm sure, in addition to overfeeding her on pizza and cake . I heard they still execute political prisoners on Belgium. Death by Frogs? Something along those lines...

But don't count on me going to jail anytime soon. Jails are ful anyway, that's why they're trying to 'rent' cell space in Dutch prisons. I'll probably be fined, then get told I don't have to pay because the politicians and courts can't agree what to do with absentees, then likely get told I have to pay MOAR or something and then have the thing start all over again. Good solid Belgian practises and all. (Me, bitter? Naaaah! Whatever gave you that idea?) Quote:
Hm, I don't think that's a good thing. My moot-time is excessive enough as it is. What I would be free of, though, (and would love being so) is that lousy head office to whom we keep sending error reports that they'll just disregard anyway while still singing their own praise. That last loooong list of errors has seriously killed my RPG-writing time. >.<

95 bottles of beer on the wall. 95 bottles of beer. Take on down and pass it around. 94 bottles of beer on the wall.
I is very coocoo at the moment. Storms passed through at three this morning. Stayed up until they passed around 5ish. Alarm went off at 6. Didn't actually get out of bed til 7. I had to be at work at 8. And with Mother's Day tomorrow, we got swamped with people buying last minute gifts. *Conks out in her big fluffy chair*

Don't you love this sort of timing? Will you be having your own party or is it for someone else? Quote:
Though I must confess: we bought our present at the last minute as well. Happy Mother's Day to all mums here! (I found out that Mother's Day is a tradition that started in an American Methodist Church by the way. Now it's spread all over the world)

I dont suppose anyone would feel like reviving 100 Words or perhaps you, Earn, could move it back to Gm! Would be most grateful.
