I finished the second year book today. The book was very small and had only countable pages, so it was obviously easy for me to finish it. I think my tutor should have chosen something thicker... Anyway, from next lesson, I'll be starting the new book, which is a book for third grade. "Third grade!?". Yeah, of course... I'm still a beginner... but I think I'm improving a lot! I already saw the next book, and it does look quite hard...
It's only one hour lesson, and sometimes it's not even one hour. So the only thing I can do besides this time is to look over what I've done before, and prepare for the next lesson. I sometimes wish if I could have two hours lesson, but that'll be too long for me...

Elective
Second elective day! It actually came faster than I expected it.
Unfortunately I was sick. I started having fever on Monday, and it was ok this morning, but still, I was sweating all the time while I was in the elective. I thought of staying at home, but then when I thought that I was the only leader of this elective, I thought I should come, so I got a note from my guardian saying: I will be going home as soon as the first period (elective) finishes. Yeah, and I think that was a good choice, because almost end of the elective, I was actually feeling dizzy...
Because I was like this, I thought it'll be difficult to teach 10 girls, but since this week has an election, most of the students were absent. There were only 4 girls today, so it was easier. We desided to make boxes today. We made boxes last time, but this time, it's different, more complicated, but more beautiful! Everyone was struggling, and we couldn't finish making them, but everyone got to the point where their boxes are about to be done.
I must say that this group is actually better than the last one, because they are more industrious. Well, it's quite hard to say it in front of the last supervisor...
Mrs. Lockwood joined us for a short time today. It was really fun. I'm looking forward for the next elective day!
By the way, I took my camera from home, but them I forgot to take photos....

Singhala Lesson
Today was my first Singhala Lesson day after coming back from the holiday. I could see that my skills have gone down a lot, since I haven't studies for it over the holiday. However, I was still able to read and write, so I just need to keep on reading more and that might help me. The lesson is going slow, due to my level of understanding, but I hope that I can be fluent with reading at the end of this year.

Elective
Today was my first elective of the second semester. I'm leading "Beads and Papers" again. There were 8 students with 1 absent. We discussed with everyone and decided to make items with beads for first 5 class, and then make papers after the beads. However, some had an idea of making one by one, therefore we have to have a chat again for the next time.
Anyway, we were using beads today, to make pyxies for today. It was quite easy for most of them, so we didn't use all the time finishing it. There were some times left, so we thought of making another item, but unfortunately we didn't have any small boxes to separate different types of beads, so we decided to make the simplest boxes with papers. With a small time left, everyone made at least one box for each of them. We will use those boxes for the next time. However, remembering the idea of making beads and papers one by one, I thought of making boxes with papers, but not the simplest ones. There are boxes use 6 papers in total to make one box, and they are beautiufl, so I'm sure everyone will love it. Well, this is all up to them, so I have to organize for the next elective.

Dog-walking
Happy New Year to all! Today was the first day of dog-walking
this year! It was cold, of course. AAAAnd obviously I took my bro with me. I took my doggie to our spot, "The Airplane Park". The owner is not allowing dogs to enter, therefore we couldn't go inside... and especially some kids were playing football.. grrr. 
Last time I couldn't get a single picture (cuz i didn't take my camera!), so I reminded myself to take it this time... and i did! Anyway, I was so glad that Maru was happy! We also met few dogs on the way. Well, unfortunately some male dogs made her upset... awww.
Well, I didn't notice very much of the surroundings last walking, but this time I noticed a lot of changes of the winter. I saw few birds I haven't seen... I got a picture! Unfortunately others were good at running away, so I couldn't get any of the picture... Well, I have no idea what bird this is... better ask Ms. Lockwood.
