The weather has been atrocious this month. K has been feeling quite low because of it. I'm normally not affected by weather, but I must admit, this soggy, cold atmosphere is starting to piss me off! Both of us are really looking forward to go to Florida in March. Some sunshine and warmth looks mighty good right about now.
Anyway, we just renewed the lease on our apartment here. It was surprisingly fast and easy to do. The landlord even let us keep the same rent, which is a relief because we were expecting him to raise it. He would only renew it as a 12-month contract, but he let us put in a "get-out clause" which means we can get out of the contract after 6 months if we provide two months notice.
Things are pretty hectic at work. The term got really busy right away, pretty much on the first day the students came back. We'll be going full-steam ahead all the way through May -- another reason it's going to be good to get away in March. The term has been good so far, though. I've been doing a bit more teaching and have gotten involved with more of the academic side of things. They are also planning to hire another technician a bit later in the year. That will alleviate some of the stress in the technical department. Next school year, the course has to take in 80 students. That's 20-25 more than we have in each year level right now, so we're definitely going to need some more staff!
Next weekend, I'm going to a Dan Inosanto seminar. He's a 71-year-old Guru of Filipino martial arts. He trained with Bruce Lee. Should be a lot of fun, despite the fact that my head will probably be spinning.
