104.52 - My Birthday part 2
Hey, my favorite number is 52 and it just happens to fall as 52 days I'm a teacher on my birthday. Neat! All good signs.
I just realized that I CAN celebrate 05.05.05 two more times in my lifetime. Because China is on a different calendar and it is only 1994 here! I'll have to come back (if I've left) to celebrate one more time. Additionally, because of the time change I get to celebrate tomorrow too in spirit with people back in Canada.
This afternoon I was tough but fair and just with the students who are failing my class. They were all given assignments easy enough to complete in-class for extra credit to raise their grades. Most of them decided to do it. I think the students live in perpetual fear of failing something here. Perhaps it really is the same world-wide.
Off to birthday celebrations!
