Snow

Had about 15-20cm of snowfall today, not great when my main mode of transport is by bicycle.

Wednesdays are elementary school days, and I had loads of fun having snowball fights with the kids during lunch break ;) Other schools would have shut their students in, but the principal at this school is a rare species.

It's so obviously just how much he cares for the students and his staff, a person could feel it in the atmosphere. Time and time again he proves just how wonderful a principal he is, he's not afraid to get all mucky with the kids, he doesn't flaunt his authority nor does he distance himself from the students and the staff, and yet somehow he has this great leadership. I really look up to this guy, and you know what? His door is always open. It's great seeing students and former students pop in to say hi. When passing by, I've been called in to chat about his latest project, my holidays, marathons etc... Wish I could work at his school full-time!

Patience is a virtue, well worth waiting to meet this excellent Priciple. A lot more patience and you might get a permanent attachment?????????

With my current position, I can renew up to a maximum of 4 times... but to be honest, I don't think I'd want to be working in the same position for that long...
