Plus, i've the rare opportunity to have more than just the increasingly abrogated weekend away from work. In its physical manifestation, at least - of course i still end up doing work, just that i don't stay in school for more than twelve hours to do it. As i've been commenting a fair bit this time round, i am very much in the lunar new year spirit, in the sense that i'm adding a touch of red around me. The red may be in the form of ink from a red pen and the medium may be my students' homework, but at the end of the day it's still red.
Hopefully there'll be a bit of time left over from work-related stuff for a bit of exercise, especially since the weather bureau promises that there'll not be a repeat of the recent weekend of rain. Of course, if there's one thing that i've learnt about the met service here, it would be to take everything they predict with a bucket of salt. In fact what they seem to be better at doing is to account for past weather patterns, rather than predicting future ones. They probably have had to issue a forecast this time round since they'll be minimally operational over the next few days.
Minimally operational. Sounds good. Wish it could apply to me =p
