But always enjoy yourself of course.:
It is nice to dream I'll see what happens, I think he's too shy to come talk to me so I'll have to take initiative this time. Usually I just give some hints and wait for the guy to come talk to me

In my country we don't need strikes, as our railway does a bad job of showing up in time. *#*#* ^|^.
When I was in Leidschendam I had to take the tram to get to the meeting. I couldn't find any trams so I asked someone, and he told me there was a strike that day Just my luck.

Enjoy your weekend. I always have a bit of a festival-feeling on fridays, althought today my ever present feeling of the blues is strong. :cool
Thanks, I will. Fridays are hard for me, I usually can't focus long enough to get any of the serious work done. So I usually save administrative and 'dumb' jobs (like taking photocopies) for friday.

I hope you'll shake of those blues soon and have a great weekend as well

As a teacher myself, I believe it is up to us to insure that students learn. It is our responsibility to see to it that students understand completely. It's one of the reasons I left the US academic arena. In my classes, students had to score 80% or better to pass a test. If they didn't, they could re-take the test, but had to score 100% on the retest to pass. They already knew the questions and answers. All they had to do was study them. How hard is that?


Now if only all teachers would think like you. Most of my teachers were pretty bad, and they didn't really care about our grades. Teaching was just a job for them. You need teachers who think teaching is a calling.
