When moving is in your karma...

Tomorrow, our school is moving to a new building. The classrooms will be smaller, but we'll have more, which should fit better with our needs... most of the time. The teachers' room is supposed to be somewhat bigger, so it should be easier for us to move around and organize our materials without always stepping on someone else's toes. Overall, I think the move will be a great thing as we truly need more classrooms.

However, the new building is now quite ready yet, so although the teachers' room will be nice once it's ready, in the meantime, we'll have to make do with using a classroom with no desk. We'll probably be fully settled around June 10th, I was told. Hmmm... Oh! Well... The ride is not always smooth, but I'm still glad that I came here. (Isn't it funny how much you learn about what a good school is when your own is lacking in a few respects? :P)

It's dumb, I know, but as I told my cousin Patrick about an hour ago, I was whistling Christmas songs at work today, so as you can tell, I'm really looking forward to receiving my new computer. Sadly, it will probably take another two weeks if all goes well. I can't wait to triple boot in Linux, OS X and Windows! I can't wait to start testing educational software packages! I can't wait to start "evil" experiments in educational technology with my students as guinea pigs! (Their sacrifice will serve the greater good, I assure you.)

Concision is a great virtue - which I sorely lack -, so I'll stop here for today.
