Back to school

OK so I have survived 3 half-days and three full days so far. Only about 177 to go til summer. It's been mostly great but some days are very hard. I am mostly settled into a routine. Up at 4-4:30 to make lessons and then school from 7am-4pm or so.

Time with the kids is great. Unless I don't challenge them enough, or challenge them too much. I have tried to make something interesting to see or touch in every lesson. The first day I did a cool thing with a vaccuum cleaner, which I will describe at some point. Then I had a cool holograph thing. Then I spent a day on my rollerblades. All these things were big hits.
Today I didn't have any "hooks" and it was tough. It never occurred to me that the customers would not be just as interested in the boring ol' nuts and bolts of actually doing physics.

Well, everyone tells me that this is completely normal and the only way to improve is with experience. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

What else is going on? G is very big. Friday we get the baby turned around, hopefully, so that we can go ahead with a normal birth. At the moment he's still right-way-up which is not the, uh, right way. No big worries but a little anxiety.

Otherwise, what's exciting with us? We've joined mainstream American culture again now that Dr House MD is showing every Wednesday on the internet. We just finished watching our download of Hex and we enjoyed that so much we are considered starting Buffy.

Yes, that's as much excitement as we can handle at the moment. Other than the whole new house, new job, heavily pregnant thing.
