Day 16 & 17

So much for making the most of my time here. There isn't much to say about yesterday and today.
I've discussed lesson preparations for tomorrow and Friday's classes with Lena and Cecilia. Did a couple more interviews, had lunch and worked at the apartment.
Lena's off to a conference in Dubai for the rest of the week, I'll teach her class tomorrow morning, Friday's lesson is cancelled. Today was a resource day, meaning no lessons at all but teachers were in, working. I went to school to discuss Friday's lesson with Cecilia, had lunch in the teachers lounge and got myself another interview for my research.
Furthermore I decided there should be a balance between the fun stuff and working. If I don't read up on biology, there'll be too much to do in the two months that are left when I get home. But if I work all the time, I get really tired and cranky, the trip to Louisiana was an immense mood booster.
One of the biology teachers proposed to organise an after school hang out upcomming Friday, the teachers sometimes do that and last time was a while ago. And since I'm here she thought it might be nice to organise one. Today she informed me that a couple of teachers were interested, so Friday afternoon is on. There really does not seem to be an end to how friendly the teachers are at this school. Tomorrow I'll teach the lesson (starting at 8 again) and observe an environmental sciences class. Also, I'll make sure to have Friday's lesson thoroughly prepared and do some more reading (I want to have Ecology done before I get home, that at least one more Unit, 2 to go at home).
At least I'll have more to write about tomorrow: next lesson hormones & homeostasis.
