it's warm here in chch

after a few months in welly, where the weather has been less than cheerful, i am now sitting in a balmy 25 deg celcius. one whole degree colder than yesterday! it's quite a change from 18 - 19 on a good day. welly is cold today. i have had two complaints from the bros [by cell]. there is a slight downside to being so warm. i am most enthusiastic about the occasional wee lie down. snoozing would be great in the afternoon if i didn't have to work. it's not really work. i am being paid to have fun. that's what gym coaching is like. 7 enthusiastic young ladies [who happen to be crazy], is fine with me. they want to be there [unlike school].
this brings me to another thought about enthusiasm and school. over the last few years, i have come into close contact with home-school kids. i know i am a teacher by profession, but home-schooling [i'm generalising] seems a positive way to go [just thought i'd throw that in].
one of my new flatmates is a 15 year old home-schooled teenage girl. enthusiastic, and hard working, polite [not negative], really involved. i like.
yawn, time for a snooze.

it's about 4:00 am hear and windy and in the high 30's at the moment pretty chilly but not bad, it was in the 80's a couple of days last week, oklahoma weather is like that, you get no in between seasons, you go straight from the air conditioner to the heater. sounds like you're enjoying the job, that's a good thing, take care of yourself.
