In the heat they become sluggish
On the job again.
I now believe that most of Class 13 no longer have their books, and even the ones who have their books aren't even bothering to open them. As for asking them about what they did during the holiday, it seems that apathy reigned supreme. The general response I got was "sleeping". Perhaps it's only the migrant workers and foolish foreigners who travel in China during any of the golden weeks. I'm wondering whether the heat will is going to make their brains even more torpid than usual.
We're not even sure how much more teaching time we have left. Probably the final exam will be in the last week of May which is a mere two and a half weeks away. We'll simply stop teaching without any sense of a conclusion. In fact, we'll just be starting the next theme.
The latest news I have about our antics in June is that the teaching load has been badly skewed, with Jane and Todd getting four classes a day, whereas I've ended up with two. I haven't seen the info myself because it's on an Excel spreadsheet. I should check on the computer in the office.
We didn't have English Corner at lunchtime as we normally would on a Tuesday. The sign wasn't out and the gate was firmly shut. No one bothered telling us, though.
