School's out (for the summer)

Today was the last day of class, hence the Alice Cooper title, and now we can really quote the Ethiopian's favorite bit of scripture: "it is finished!" I pulled some late nighters this week working on the Bingham video---today was the deadline for a screening at the farewell chapel. This of course meant that I would have to have something respectable to show for myself and would not have the pleasure of continually putting it off and off any longer.

Its hard to say if you are ever fully satisfied with something that you spend such enormous energy on, but it has reached the point where it is leaving less and less for me to gripe about after viewing it. Once its reached a consensus as to its completion, we will put it up online on Bingham's new site.

With loads of folk's help, from a variety of continents and with a variety of content, the promotional piece runs just over 5 minutes. The response was overwhelming, but I still just barely managed to corral my Grade 8 class together one last time for a photo before they escaped for the summer. There was a luncheon afterwards to send off all the teachers who are not returning next year. Half a dozen of them are leaving tonight--which means the compound will be more or less ours for the remaining two weeks.
