Taking a breath before the next plunge

I can almost hardly believe we made it on the plane.  By Tuesday I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the week!  Looking back it is hard to believe how much was crammed into the last two weeks.  Not to mention a visit from friends, a birthday, the ballet and handing out report cards to students.  

A cab came and picked us up from school today at 5 o'clock.  I had a lovely, meeting free two hours, to tidy up my desk and attempt to put my classroom back into some sort of order.  The paperwork on my desk was so bad my computer was hidden.  Though I was extremely tired from a late night yesterday, today was a lovely day of Chinese New Year celebrations at school.  Most of my students showed up in Chinese outfits, there were activities set up around the school and just an really nice buzz about the place (probably due to teachers who knew they were catching a flight out of there in just a few hours.)  We had plenty of time at the airport for a few drinks and food.  I have flipped through my In Style magazine and now start to feel like I am unwinding a bit.  I can't wait for a few days of sleep next to rice fields.
