Last night was our Olympic competition, organized & operated by 3 of us guys. We had silly events, limited by the equipment available, the most creative being the "Water Waiter" race. We had students put a half-liter water bottle & plastic cup on an upturned frisbee, and in a relay, they had to carry the water thirty feet or so to a partner, pour some water from the bottle into the cup, discard the water, hand the frisbee etc. to the partner, who repeated the operation, to a total of 5 per team. Along the way dropping a water bottle or cup disqualified you.

Keeping 90 students in some kind of order, and paying attention as we described the rules, was like herding cats.

Afterwards we felt we'd really earned our beers. At our favorite watering hole we sat with two other teachers & ordered half a kilo of kielbasa slices from the "Nibbles" (appetizers) menu. Only in Poland!

Today instead of regular classes everybody's watching the documentary "Shut up and Sing!" about the Dixie Chicks & the fallout from their comment early on in the Iraq war that they were ashamed to be from the same state as Bush, then returning to homeroom to discuss the movie. Should be fun!
