Your curriculum mapping tool looks great!

It would be a damn shame. What's next, a return to the "six o'clock swill"?

I've been reading regularly, but I'm as hopeless about leaving comments as I am about e-mailing... ;) I just wanted to say hi, & I hope you're both getting settled back in Melbourne now! I hope "home" actually feels like home again -- I always find switching between countries terribly disorienting, especially when you leap from the depths of winter into the height of an Australian summer. Business class is certainly the way to go though, huh? When we flew to Aus in 2003, we went on frequent flyer miles, and it ended up being "cheaper" to fly business class than to fly coach! Amazing -- I never knew it could be that comfortable to fly, and like you, I found myself thinking "It gets BETTER than this??" I'm so glad you were able to return home in such style! ;) Astrid. :) Congrats on getting back home at last!

They were among the most eloquent teachers I’ve had the good fortunate to study with, and I only wish I’d been able to spend more time with them. Watching them dance at their leaving party, which I left not long ago, was an opportunity to see perfect articulation in body language. As Lotte shared one last dance with each of the folks who had come to The Snug on this chilly evening, her movements expressed not only her usual joie de vivre, but also a sadness to be leaving behind so many friends and dance partners, and a nervous excitement to be jetting off for a new life on the other side of the world.
