We have had our Spring Break and the NESA Conference in Athens Greece. The vacation part of the trip was great, saw some very pretty county, met some nice people and had a very good time. The driving was OK but I did not drive in Athens, that place was a zoo. The country side was easy except for the narrow roads and the big tour buses.
The educational conference was a good learning experience and provided me with some ideas to help our program for the next year. It is good to meet with other educators from around the Middle East/South Asia area and see what is happening.
The Education City/ Qatar Foundation has just had a golf tournament and every one's favorite hillbilly was on the winning team. I guess that it shows that lack of practice can be overcome by having good partners. That is the first time I have picked up the clubs since Christmas in the USofA.
We just had Easter, some of the schools were off, some weren't. Some people took off, some didn't so kind of a slow day on Sunday. Some of our students wanted to know if they could be off for Easter like a couple of the Universities, sorry but in most cases you don't get two sets of holidays. Watched a little of the Masters, glad I wasn't freezing my ears off. Nice place to be but it sure looked chilly.
We are now down to the rest of this week plus 2 more and then finals. This time of year gets hard to motivate students, teachers and anyone else in the school business.
