 I forgot to put butter in the butter platter?  What’s the word?

The flash was set on my phone’s camera and so I took this photo:

This sort of accurately conveys the morning darkness.

 No thoughts.  Just reports of what I’ve been doing.

Here is a screenshot from the last AKICDV:

Here is the last AKICDV.  Watch it!

After work, I went for a walk.  I saw this building being constructed.

No idea what it’s going to be 

I’m listening to this podcast:

 I didn’t sleep at all well last night.

Good Lord, I hope it doesn’t make me have myself a bad day.

Working on AKIC DV #365.

 Dinner Time.  Not ready.  I got to the apartment about ten minutes ago.

Now for some random thoughts:

Hallow is a good app.  It keeps me sane.  As does church-going.

I will my upload last AKIC DV tomorrow.  Why put an end to it?  It is not important to keep doing it. Also, Number 365 is a nice number to end at

I used to say Trump was no more racist than Barack Obama.  I now say he is no more racist than Micheal Obama.  Although truth be told, he is less.

Meet the Grade 12 parents day.  All I can say is no one wants to meet the English teacher.  None of the grade 12 teachers of the hard, as opposed to soft, subjects want to meet the parents because there really isn’t anything that can be said.

My grade 11 students are annoying me.  They can’t even rehearse a play properly.  I better not go into details.

 This morning at 6:55 AM, I realized I had left the charging cable for my laptop at the apartment.  From 7:20 to 8:50, I was to have classes.  I didn’t want to risk losing power on my laptop during the classes so I decided to rush home.  While doing this, I thought to drive the car back.  Only thing I worried about was traffic.  But as I walked to the apartment, I saw and realized that the traffic jam of parents dropping off their children at school was over.  At 7:10, I was parked at school and was in the classroom with my charger.

 Why am I in such a bad mood today?

Well, the Bombers blew it.

The sight of the students and their addiction to their devices annoyed me.

Students doing things at the last moment.

Students with no imagination.

The realization that because Chinese parents pay full board for their children to study in overseas universities, the incentives to bar them from coming to university because of poor performance in high school is minimal.  So the students can basically be lazy in grade 12 because they have already been accepted to university.  So, I’m wasting my time trying to teach them anything.  And their English is so bad….

Students wasting time on things that should have been done before class.

Anyway, more photos of me and the big Latvian flag.

 The Bombers got trounced in the Grey Cup.

It’s Latvian Independence Day.  

So which hat to wear?

At school, I put the Latvian Flag on a big screen.

It made a great backdrop for some November 18th photos.
