10 Weekends left

This weekend was busy but it also meant another weekend has gone and leaves only 10 left and I didn't get to EXITO !!!

Kids today worked hard and because the 3rd term has finished it means I need to get the grading done ready for input by Friday, however I am ahead of the game and have all my grade 8 and grade 6 grading done! How I managed this is still a mystery which when I figure out how I managed to get 4 lots of marks sorted out for 300 students without stressing will make me a fortune, when I sell the technique on.

However he who sits on high has a wicked sense of humour... The bell rings at 3.30 I take 2 steps out the door and the heavens open (Well it is 3.30 and it ALWAYS rains at 3.30)But I'm not worried after all its not that long a walk to the bus... except when I get there there isn't a bus (It's stuck in traffic) 10 minutes of standing in the rain without any available cover, soaked through and beginning to think the short sleeve shirt was not a good choice, a colleague and I decide its not worth waiting and we will go get a taxi. Getting in I checked my wallet to find I have only got a 50,000 peso note about 12 quid UK and completely unusable in any TAXI !! fortunately my colleague has the 4000 pesos needed... But the big yin isn't finished with me yet, as a final joke of the day I get in to find out I have NO WATER !!! Its pi**ing down with rain outside and I have no water. Thankfully its not just me but everybody in the apartment block. Somehow I doubt it'll be on in the morning !! Not even like I can have a cold shower... just NO SHOWER !!! yeuch !!
