A day in the life (week one)

Work days go something like this:
A little after 7: wake up, swear it couldn't be this late since the sun isn't up, finally admit defeat and get out of bed

7:45ish: leave for work. I have a 20 to 30 minute bike ride to Eden Campus as the sun is rising. A very nice ride on a very inefficient bicycle.

8:30 classes at Eden start. I spend my mornings teaching/helping with math and IT. So far this has meant that Jamie (the math and IT teacher) has sent groups of students to work with me on practice problems.

1is: lunch!

From after lunch till around 5 anything is fair game. I have spent some time working one-on-one with Godgiven, who is really interested in math and wants to become a math teacher. I also worked with Terry to help install a solar panel that today we (well Terry actually) got hooked up to the electric fence that surrounds one of the gardens (shown below with the students out watering their assigned patches):Around 5: being 20 to 30 min bike ride back to Kooboo Berry farm, cook dinner, check email, and head to bed

In other news I did basically nothing all weekend and really enjoyed it. I needed the down time and enjoyed getting to sleep and relax.
