Bribery works every time
Am talkining to Kat on msn when she starts bitching at me to update. Highly unusual for her I know but this time when repeated update, update, update via msn didn't work she bribed me with getting a book when she sends a apckage to Kaz. And you better deliver Kat, I still have your book on the steppe warriors remember.
Had my quiz last night. Calgary Sarah won and got a grand total of 7/20. Reike was very happy with the quiz, she didn't win the actual quiz but she did get 2 out of the 4 teasers and therefore made 4,000 won. Since the only thing I have any real clue about is Classics most of my questions were completely random ones such as how many countries are there in Africa, (there's 54 in case you care) what's the richest country(Luxumbourg) and other fun questions like that. Was impressed that I managed to limit myself to only 2 Classics questions. One, (what's
Athenas bird) has got to be the easiest question on Classics there is, I mean, this is me we're talking about here. How many owls do I have now? Heck, I even have an owl kite. Lindsay for some strange reason put down dove. Uh, no. That's that bimbo Aphrodite's bird not mine. Admittedly the other question was something of a mean one. Which goddess started the Trojan War. Calgary Sarah and Linds were sure it weas Hera, who although isn't the nicest of goddesses on Olympus can't take the credit this time. Although that theory ws better than the one Nig came up with which was Demeter. Only problem with that is Demeter is the goddess of the harvest, seasons etc. can't quite see her starting a war somehow. No, the somewhat dubious honour of starting the war goes to Eris, Goddess of trouble, strife and being ageneral pain in the butt. Kat was highly amused by the Demeter answer and the fact that noone got the right answer and that Nig got confused between Ares and Eris adn thought it was Ares who caused the war and that the question had been which god started it not which goddess. The whole thing was amusing for me anyway.
Nothing else is happening, have a long weekend this week because of Lunar New Year so get Monday off and plan to spend it doing absolutely nothing.
Get the joy of end of unit tests for 4 classes tomorrow which while it means I only actually teach 2 classes and just interview the others also means I have to write stupid comments for all the kids. Being me, and therefore lazy, I write basically the same BS for every kid, just changing the name, the order of the BS and a few words of it. Have done about 1/2 of the comments because I had a freee lesson today and will do the others before classes start tomorrow so will be able to leave on time if not earlier tomorrow night. The logic of doing the comments before class never seems to occur to my KT's so they end up haveing to stay for an hour or so extra doing them all. Of course logic isn't exactly a strong point of Korean culture as Kaz would no doubt agree...
Kat, seeing as this is a long post I expect a nice big classics book for the effort. Hint, hint
