Half Day Wednesday

So why do I get home later than normal.

It was a fairly good day over all classes flew in, caught up with all my marking ready for the end of term grades. Classroom did seem hectic at times as kids rushed in to hand in last minute work... unfortunately there are a few who just haven't handed things in and their marks will suffer accordingly.

Its not that they aren't capable because I have seen their work in class and its of a reasonably good standard but timescales and milestones are there for a reason.

The afternoon meetings were the usual - I get through them fine as long as I have my coffee handy.

Last week I had some blood taken and got the results today they are of course in Spanish! but the word Colesterol is fairly easy to work out. For my age my range is supposed to be between 120 and 240 and my result is 197.

Now I have no idea how that ties in with the UK scales but it seems pretty OK to me for now, must be all that Rice, Fruit and Walking I am doing and the fact in 3 months I have been here I have gone down from a 42" waist to a 38" waist in trousers.

Seriously I am fading away !! disappearing before my eyes !! and loving it. There is still a bit to go yet but the change in diet, exercise and working schedule is definitely having a positive effect on my health and that can only be a good thing, all I need to do now is avoid getting knocked down by the maniacal driving around Bogota.
