Tea break

Walking to the bus this morning the wind was a strange kind of luke-warm and it seemed indecisive as it whipped my hair about. It was exactly the type of weather you would expect before a rain-storm. Though I still straighten my hair nearly every morning, I've learned to expect it to become futile by mid-morning, particularly on a windy day like today. So when I arrived to school with imperfect hair and wet shoes, i was not suprised or disappointed.

It's no wonder a place so rainy has a tea break at school at five past 11:00. I always enjoy this chance to chat with my cooperating teachers and pour myself a nice hut cup of tea with milk.

When tea break ended and my steaming cup was still in hand, the students barely noticed. So as I made my circulations around the room to check the progress of the student's drawings, I sipped casually at my tea.

This is just one of the many perks of teaching at Oakgrove Integrated College. :)

Carrie, that sounds so wonderful!! :) I'm not sure if you knew or not, that Jonathan and I are planning on moving to Ireland. If you check out our blog the whole story of why is there, it would take way too long to explain here. But if you are still there when we get over, we will definitely have to come up and visit. Although, I'm not sure we will make it over before year end. Take care!
