Lots of multi-tasking yesterday. Interviewing students at work (at this time of the year they all have to meet with each of their teachers, and a progress evaluation has to be entered on the computer system), marking homeworks, planning lessons, and sneaking the odd moment to read my email and start doing my Christmas shopping on the internet. And, all the time, keeping Lisa in my thoughts. It is times like this when I really hate living so far away from friends.
