<\/a>Seemed like a good time to post a picture with a rainbow. This was taken from our apartment.<\/p><\/div>\n
Earlier this week, BHSFIC sent an email asking if I could teach one more day, and today is the day. It\u2019s an easy day with only one class. I hang around afterwards, and enjoy talking with everyone during lunch. I\u2019m reminded that one of the Chinese teachers has a wife expecting their first (and only) child this summer.

There were a few years where many more male babies than female babies were born, so the government had to make an adjustment.<\/p>\n
Back home, I had lots of plans about swimming and TT, but the couch called and I celebrated the end of my teaching year with a long nap. Judy gets home around 7:30. She has many loose ends to tie up, and won\u2019t be able to go back next week and finish (family is coming to visit). Normally she would plan on 3 or 4 full days of getting everything put away, and planning\/organizing for the 1st<\/sup> week of school next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today is the last day with students at BISS.
