A minute after nine

It's a minute after nine in the staff room at FSEC. Nicky is to my right making flashcards for "rug," "bug," "slug" and "hug" (for a pronunciation game) and a new teacher, Matt, has just finished his class. Matt has been here for about a month now.
I taught a class tonight, and have been hanging around the school since about 4:00. Seems like even when I don't get a lot accomplished it's a worthwhile time--watching the students come and leaving, hopping on and off their parents' motorbikes, chatting with the office staff, munching on carrots, planning for classes.
Oops, we're getting kicked out now. But first we need to find the lock for the gate.
Hope you all are well!
