The first week of the new year and it was the usual sort of week for me.

The children have started school and I am back to my usual routine of writing and looking for new positions. Because most people are still on holiday or probably clearing the work that accumulated over the holidays, I am still in waiting mode.

It was a hectic weekend for us. On Saturday, S and I drove down to a couple of polytechnics here which had open houses to check out the courses that the children are interested in. I was quite impressed by what the polys had to offer and so I think the choices the children are making are correct. We are actually two years early, but wanted to check them out earlier in case the choices were wrong and we had to recalibrate!

On Sunday, GG received again the Edusave Scholarship Award which is awarded to the top 10% of students of her cohort. I hope she wins this award next year also, but it looks quite unlikely since she has now moved to the better stream and it may be difficult to achive this.

Here’s looking forward to a productive week!
