This is my life....

So, I'm at work and just got the following e-mail from a friend who works here also. I couldn't resist passing it on for everyone else to read....

"So here’s a question I have never come across in teaching so far, ‘Um excuse me sir, I got a nose bleed during music class and some of the blood went down my throat. I think that means I have broken my fast, so am I meant to go and eat lunch now with all the other kids?’ My response, “Um…………………………(must’ve had the blankest face ever!)”……..what do you think it means?’……So you as student counselor must have had all kinds of briefings on the do’s and don’ts of Ramadan (sense the sarcasm) what would be your advice on handling the situation?"

So, I guess international schools really do have an entirely new set of issues.

Life is improving. This weekend I'm meeting to discuss our travel plans for Sri Lanka, I'll end with one more line from an e-mail that somebody sent about traveling to Sri Lanka...

THE best beaches are in the east. The problem is you could get killed if you go there.

That would be quite a problem...
