With just three days left in my teaching career, there have been various items of business to take care of. One item of business not requiring much input from me was the inaugural graduation ceremony of the school, which for reasons I expect to never understand took place yesterday... before the final exams. Despite my current students being the juniorest of the juniors, they seem to be appearing all over the place in school events. It's great to see them so keen to get involved with singing, music, drama, and generally doing their own thing. The school singing club features a good handful of my students and opened the ceremony with a musical number. I think it was some kind of Chinese high-school romance story. Though of course I couldn't understand any of it, they put on a great performance.

A long time ago I promised our friend Tracy in Vancouver that I would make a "Day in the Life" video of our activities here in YC. With time running short, I finally got around to getting some stuff filmed using the GoPro camera. Sifting through the inevitable pile of mostly unwatchable footage has yielded the following story of a day teaching. There's a load more of "extra curricular" activity that I didn't include. I'll figure out something to do with that later. So, for now here's Part 1 of a day in our lives. Thanks for the inspiration Tracy! This one works much better with sound.
