the great outdoors

walked into school, the other day (i'm a teacher), and the noise was overwhelming. the school's being redone, you see. while i couldn't see (or hear) that it was much worse than a couple of days earlier, i was told that i could take my class outside. actually, it was strongly recommended i do. so off we went. as it happens, the school is downtown, a hundred metres from the lake, so we went to the lakeshore and we sat there, across a small wall, for the 1h30mns of the lesson. in the sun. i'm glad it wasn't yesterday, where it rained all day. it was quite fun, really, except for the no board, no CD player, kinda windy, part. but we managed. and it was fun, really. people walking up and down, looking at us wondering what was going on, some people stopping to listen to the lesson. reminds me of the time my boyfriend and i were 'not breaking up' at a bus stop and people missed several busses to listen in on out conversation (we were so into it that we didn't notice until the end, and about 20 people were standing around us like it was some street show...).
