Firsts (again!)...

We've been back in Q8 for two weeks as of yesterday. Wow. Full first two weeks.

School is back into full swing--after the first week, which is full of craziness and course changes, hopefully we can settle on regular attendance lists and stable student levels. (And, of course, be able to give assignments and assessments, much to the students' chagrin!)

We are also again getting used to Kuwait's temps and quirky weather patterns. Thursday saw 48-degrees plus wicked humidity, and we had a mild dust storm on Wednesday, just enough to tickle the throat and coat everything with a fine layer of powder. Today looks to be somewhat cooler, with a predicted high of 44. I ran this morning at 29-degrees, and it almost felt cool--amazing what a person can acclimatize to, eh?
