It has begun. (Teaching Day 1)

Amusingly this lady is keeping her own record of this grand occasion, but from her own perspective as a residential assistant.

Day 1 now over. Kids ensconsed in various activities at the moment. Regimented fun of the most compulsory nature. A nice range of activities; some are engaged in a quiz, some are drawing, some are dissecting hearts somewhere with my medic chum (also site manager) and some are out on a nice walk around town... although that group just summoned Kevin the Nurse. I hope all's well.

Lessons today went well. Introductions, setting the assignment. Some ice-breakers (which I inevitably and totally deplore), tours of the classrooms etc. I was up after lunch, basic intro to Biological Anthropology (during which, I think, I failed to make a single bit of consecutive sense... go me) and then an introduction to Mendelian inheritance. Woo. They seem bright enough.

One girl seems to have spent all morning crying coz she was homesick. I didn't notice. Robin, my course leader, tells me that this means I'm cold and heartless. Shame.

I was going to write more and more here, but now have to go leap in a shower and go to the pub, because I've spent too long on the phone.

Arses.

To be continued... maybe.
