We were speculating last week about having a day off
tomorrow because of President Obama’s visit. Unfortunately, the always welcome
words ‘you have an extra day off’ were never spoken.
This afternoon, during KK’s cooking class, we talked
about it again, same result though, no one had heard the words that would give
us an extra day.
Then this evening at around 9 pm, my assistant teacher
called. She had it from a colleague. We have indeed a long weekend thanks to
President Obama’s visit. Apparently a large section of Pyay Road will be
blocked of tomorrow and our school happens to be on Pyay Road. There is no use having the school open when
nobody can get there.
Even though I have no problem at all with having an extra
day to spend with the kids, I am a bit disappointed. We were working on
persuasive writing with Grade 4 and they have sent beautiful letters of
invitation to President Obama that I delivered last week at the embassy. They
invited him to our classroom for some Myanmar snacks and a short lesson on the
language and history.
It is a pity that the kids can not even have the suspense of
the slight possibility that President Obama could come for a visit.
Me, in stead of getting ready for another workday tomorrow,
realize I can read some more in the excellent book I grabbed from the Library
on Friday.
