Will Wonders Never Cease?

Tuesday morning when I arrived at school after the long weekend, the kids in my first class told me that there was no English the rest of the week due to the start of Ramadan. The different classes were going to spend the week practicing hajj (the journey to Mecca) and studying the Qu'ran. I didn't think I could possibly be on vacation again so I asked some of the other teachers--yup, the rest of the week off. One of them took me to buy a bus ticket to Bali. For $11, I can sleep on a huge airconditioned bus that goes across Java, on a boat to Bali, and then finishes in Denpasar. I'll be on the beach in Bali tomorrow morning for the sunrise! I'm going to try to get to Ubud while I'm there to attend some sessions of the Ubus Writer's Festival. Hotels should be about $4/night. Unplanned vacations and amazingly low prices--who wouldn't love Indonesia?

As I was cleaning up my station, one of the students came to me and said, "What are we learning tomorrow?" That question was enough to let me know that I had achieved teaching one of my students, and she is eager to learn more! One of my middle grade students seemed uninterested in the lesson for the day, and I know I must find a way to hook him into the lesson.
