Usual Happenings

I was down yesterday with a little case of la duzi, the result of something I ate disagreeing with me. Nothing to be alarmed about. It's a not unusual happening and usually resolves itself within 24 hours, and if for some reason it does not, I am fortunate enough to have the Peace Corps medical office be a bus ride away. Another usual happening is having the schedule change on you without notice, sometimes in good ways, sometimes in bad ways, always in ways you didn't see coming and couldn't have anticipated. Yesterday was a good way because I found out that there will be no school next Wednesday through Friday because there is some kind of sports meeting going on across campus. I have still yet to find out exactly what this consists in, but it seems to be some sort of intramural competition, with races and games and such, and faculty are dragged into it as well, but not, apparently, foreign faculty, which is fine with me. I actually did hear rumors and rumblings about this from my students but it was not confirmed until about two days ago. Now in one sense, this does screw up my schedule because I had planned review for my Oral English classes next week and a review the following week, and they have already signed up for test times. SO now the students will not know whether the review is in two weeks and the test is in three or there is no review and the test will go on as scheduled. I guess I'll see who shows up in two weeks. For now, I'll enjoy the break, since 10 of my 14 hours are during those days off.
