Getting easier

I had a class today, but there were only two boys. We just practised using airport words. Next week the student who was absent today will be there, and another three, and I'm planing on practising greetings and introductions with them - i.e. how to be polite when they meet the family who they will be staying with.

I have managed to blag tomorrow off, but I feel a bit bad! All of my lessons were cancelled except the 8.15 to 9.10 lesson, which the teacher (Magali) wasn't sure whether or not it was going ahead last time I spoke to her. I went to find her today to ask her whether she needed me or not, but she wasn't in today. I found the other English teacher in the vocational department (Nicole) and asked her if she knew. She didn't but she said she would ring Magali and ask her. She did, and when she had finished the phone conversation, she said "no you don't need to come in tomorrow, she says it's unfair to make you come in just for that lesson". Now I feel mean for not helping Magali, and I feel like they think I'm a bit of a skiver, when all I wanted to do was check. Ah well, at least I get a lie in.

But not too much of one, because we need to pick up our Livebox tomorrow. We need to plug it in, and then the phone line will be working in a few days wahey!
