Yesterday I did some good and girlfriend stuff. I cooked Beau dinner and fetched him beer and cuddles and made a delicious chocolate cream cocktail! Yum! He's feeling abit delicate because all he does is study right now and part of the reason that he came over was to practise his 'examinations' on me. He poked my belly quite hard in the "gastro-intestinal" exam. Trying to find the edge of my liver or something. Boo.
It was nice seeing him and Sok's Beau also came over and he cooked Her dinner. I made the cocktails for all. The cocktail lark is thanks to MC who bought me Kahlua duty-free! Unfortunately I think I plied my Beau with a little too much alcohol cause he got a bit tired and silly later in the evening. Still so mice having him around. Unfortunately I didn't sleep as well as would normally due to inability to satisfyingly wrap my duvet all around me. I had to share.
I also found out about Hip Hop lessons for me ($12 on Wed 7pm, Thur 7pm or Sun 10.15am). I'm keen to go again and even got changed to go yesterday but Beau came over instead. I talked to our Sports Coordinator and set in motion the steps for a Hip Hop group for school. There is a girl in Y12 this year (next year she'll be Y13) who will do the actual teaching stuff. I'll just do the organising and go along. Cool!
The students are all crazy. I will only teach my Y12 3 more times and I expect them to be pretty useless for any actual teaching. I have 4 more times for Y11 as I haven't seen them yet today. Y9s are turning into evil Y10s and Y10s are freaking out because they have Y10 exams next week! ARGH! or something.
Today I go to the library which means lots of neopets. Good. I should be doing something either exercisy or worky now. I did talk to another workmate who I don't normally talk much with and that was really good. Not that we talked about work much.
I tried to explain to my Y9s about how people used to believe the world was flat, then round but at the centre of universe with sun revolving around, then what current theory it. I tried to explain about the current flat earth and Moon hoax consipiracy theories, but they refused to understand anything apart from common knowledge now. They found it hard to believe that people don't believe the common knowledge. I tried to explain that everything we are told on TV or by our teachers, peers, parents may not be true.
In many ways they are worse than people would have been ~ 400 yrs ago when Copernicus tried to convince people that the Earth revolves around the sun. Many burnings at the stake followed.
