Today is Tracy and my 19th anniversary. But, it doesn't really feel like it, due to the fact that she's away. Somebody didn't remember when we talked, because somebody is so busy with whatever that somebody is doing.
Mark had a busy day with hockey practice and math tutoring after school. He is receiving advanced math tutoring so that he'll be ready for the middle of 4th grade when we return to the U.S. I snapped a photo of him with his tutor. They work really well together. And Mark enjoys both the challenge and the one-on-one attention.
Catherine was a daycare and enjoyed the sun and warmth. For the first time in about two weeks, the kids have been able to play outside the last couple days.
I gave the final exam for my Refrigeration class today. It was quite an affair. Over 500 students were jammed into the Multi-purpose Hall at CPUT. "Invigilators" (what Americans call "proctors") were on duty. I answered a few questions, but mostly sat and read. The BTech Refrigeration students were the last remaining students in the hall, because all the other subjects had shorter tests. At 3 hours (09h00 - 12h00), my students were pretty wiped out after all was done. I had to bring the exam papers to the "examinations office" where they were logged. Only after that process was I allowed to take them away. Now I have a stack of papers to grade.
Tonight, I had a 1.5-hour teleconference with folks in California. Now, I have to get ready for the day, including cleaning the kitchen, packing bags for tomorrow, and getting breakfast ready.
