Hello Former 421 residents and various other hanger-ons,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here so I thought I might take this opportunity to talk a little bit about my life for anyone who’s interested. I teach eight classes of chemistry which each meet twice a week for 45 minutes and two classes of ninth grade chemistry which have one 45 minute meeting and one 90 minute meeting each week. I also have a homerun. This adds up two 23 class meetings each week, but since I helped make the schedule I don’t teach on Fridays. So I have four sort of 5 to 6 classes straight which doesn’t sound like that much but sort of is. Oh and I teach in the afternoons. The school is a collection of several long buildings of classrooms, since it never really gets cold here they’re all more or less open and you walk outside to go between rooms. I recently organized a science fair for our school, which was an interesting challenge. However, it turned out pretty well so I’m pleased.
Also, a couple of interesting tidbits:
The other night I had just fallen asleep when I woke up to the sound of a motorcycle revving outside of my house. I quickly pieced together that there was a drunk man on a motorcycle outside of my neighbor’s house yelling at him. He carried on a tirade interspersed with engine revving that lasted about 45 minutes. He alternated a lot between Portuguese and Macua so I wasn’t able to catch everything but there was a lot of anger, “why don’t you come out here” type of stuff. Some of the best bits included “You fucked my wife, but that’s alright, she’s nothing, she’s just sex” and then a little bit later “You work at the secondary school, you have money, when are you gonna give me some, when you gonna buy me some cookies, you have money, buy me some cookies, they’re only a couple meticais.”
I also recently cut my own hair and am pretty proud of the result. I think it’s pretty stylish and the only reason anyone would disparage it would be when they recognize that, yes, technically, it is a mullet.

That should say "I have a homeroom"
thanks for clearing that up. i was a little unsure how one would possess a homerun...seemed a little intangible to me. Good work with the mullet. I salute you sir.
