Doo Doo doodoo doodoo Doo Doo Doo Doo

That's the sound of me sitting at my desk.

I was told this morning when I got to work that today is sports day rehersal (I'm not entirely sure what this sports day is or who they're rehearsing for) and I have no lessons to teach. So far I have spent the entire morning searching various websites for free animated clipart so that I can make interesting and entertaining PowerPoint presentations for my classes. It has not been entirely devoid of entainment value. Check out this chicken.

Anyway, that's what I've been doing today. I have gone out and taken a look at the sports day rehersal a few times, but I don't really know what it's all about. There's lots of loud music, including "Baby Elephant Walk" (Doo Doo doodoo doodoo Doo Doo Doo Doo), and lot's of kids dancing around. I think I've heard a starter's pistol a few times from my desk, but have yet to actually see a race. Maybe they're just 'eliminating' the kids who can't get the dance steps right.

In fact, I haven't actually seen anything 'sporty' about sports day. Maybe something was lost in translation...

I love this, someone just came by my desk and told me that Friday is the actual sports day and I won't have any classes then either. At this rate I should be able to have a months worth of lesson plans built up by the end of the week. Oh what, oh what will I do with my extra time? Probably look for more chicken animations...
