Well, I picked up an HDTV last week. It arrived on Saturday...just in time for the NFC championship game. Too bad the Packers won. Now we will have to more weeks of Packers dominating the evening news.

Zeke is in full shed mode at school. It is a learning experience for me as this is the first time I have seen a snake shed. Hopefully all goes well.

I gave the students one more "bonus" day to get their Russia Powerpoints ready. I hope they will be ready to present tomorrow.

With just over a month gone by since my last post, a lot has happened. First, I did purchase a snake. He is a ball python that we named Hazika (Zeke) which in the Nigerian language means "intelligent one". I was a little nervous because he didn't eat last week, and that is an issue for ball pythons although they can go up to a year without eating. Last night Zeke gobbled up a fuzzy mouse in record time...he must have been hungry.

The students came back from break in good spirits. We are currently working on a powerpoint project which highlights the different regions in Russia. We should be finished with it sometime next week.

That's all for now, hopefully it won't be a month before I have a chance to write again.
