Day 7 & 8

Yesterday, day 7, was spent indoors, finishing a study report. Therefore, nothing much to blog about.

So today, day 8, I will make up for that. I stood up at 8, had a shower, made breakfast, looked through the material for Wednesday's lesson (which I'll be teaching) and went to school. 

I started by observing a lesson with Cecilia (a q&a session before a test) and then had a meeting with Lena to discuss my lesson ideas for her IB class (I'll teach them Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and possibly next week). Also, I bought lunch tickets today, so now I can enjoy 10 lunch meals (which are excellent) and save me the trouble of cooking dinner. 

In the afternoon I met up with Cecilia and another bio colleague to discuss next term's planning for their classes, I will be teaching one of her classes as well and now know what to prepare for Friday's lesson.

Having everything under controll and prepared, I left school again at around three. Winds are blowing tremendously over Malmö today, it was partly sunny and cloudy. I cycled home, but decided to keep on cycling and check out the coast. There is an amazing park close to the waterline stretching for kilometers. There are bike and walking lanes, there is a road for cars leading to a place with only parking places for disabled people. There are a couple of football fields, stretches of grassland and sand stretches for what I can only imagine to be dedicated for horseback riding. And then of course there are beaches. I took some pictures but the wind was blowing so uncomfortably hard that I quickly decided to go back home.

On returning, I remembered that when I had left this morning, the water was not working. I met Stella in the kitchen to tell me that it still was not working. They had found a major leak and were digging holes in the street to fix it, the whole street has got no water.

Stella and Soren went out to get some water later, actually, there is a pipe leaking fresh water in the streets and they were able to get some water there. For drinking we now have bottled water. Outside they are pulling an all-nighter to fix it, but nothing too quickly, as overtime is payed double. Let's see if we are able to have a shower in the morning.
