November 15 – Getting Tired

9:00pm is our regular bedtime, if we make it that
long! 6:00am seems to come so early. It is hard to remember back in the day when
I worked for WestJet and 6 am would have been considered a ‘sleep-in’
day!
This past week was jam packed with Rachel, Ben and I all teaching. I
taught a new lecture I hadn’t taught before on learning styles. It was a
lot of fun, and was a good reminder not to ask the question "How smart is
Joe?" but instead to ask "How is Joe smart?" Don’t worry, I contextualized
it by changing Joe to Asan (a popular name here). For many it was an important
two days of learning so that they, as teachers themselves, will look for
the potential in every student.
Just as a reminder, we can’t access our email
and facebook until we get back to Taiwan, so we aren’t ignoring you if you have
emailed us or written on our wall, we just haven’t received it yet.
In
Cassie’s news, Ben cut her hair today for the first time. She looks a little bit
like a monk with a bowl haircut. But to us she looks as cute as ever- isn’t that
the miraculous part of parenthood!! No matter what everyone else thinks, to
us she will always be the cutest little thing!
Well, off to go buy some
coffee to make in the french press that Katelyn bought for me. Thanks
Katelyn!!!
