Your Japanese word of the week is...

"raku" 楽 which means "comfortable" or "relaxed/relieved".  And so I was, since last week was spring break.  I managed to get a bit of work done but only the work for this week.

Of course, that's not really a problem since this weekend is Easter long weekend, so that's another 4 days off.  Coupled with a short week next week, that makes these two weeks pretty simple.  After that, I have one full week and then I'm finished the school portion of my practicum!  Excited isn't really the word I'd use since, aside from the prep work, I rather enjoy my time in the classroom.

I'm by no means a "good teacher" but at least I feel somewhat comfortable in front of a class.  I'll be glad when I'm at Science World for the slightly reduced work load but it'll be weird not seeing my students daily.  Of course, I'll still be working with students (this time of all ages) as well at Science World, so that brings with it new challenges which will be fun.

But in the mean time, I'm just enjoying my relaxing days off as I make the final push towards the end of practicum.

In other news, I'll be finally breaking the camera out again this Thursday as I head for the Vancouver International Auto Show.  Cars, friends, and photography...

I could even enter for a chance to win a Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet!  Fingers crossed haha....
