We’re at the half way mark. I’m not saying much today – it’s been super busy with the first day back for all faculty and staff and juggling lots of online meetings and presentations. Had my 7 day covid-test – literally feels like a roto-roota went through my nasal cavities. Maybe because I did not use my tissue to masturbate my nose before-hand as instructed – I was in the middle of a meeting so I didn’t think that was appropriate. They are NOT kind or gentle.
I seem to have picked up some kind of eye infection (the irony), at least it’s not covid – because I got my “unquarantine” notice today.
Make sure the parade and marching band are ready on time! I’m off for an early night with eyes shut and no more screen time.
I’m currently living in Dubai, UAE, which is the latest in a long line of places I’ve been living in the last few years including China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, and South Africa. I’m married with two adult children. Having lived around the world I’ve acquired quite a few languages and my big passion is bi/multi-lingualism and - culturalism, which I try to incorporate into my work, learning and essays wherever possible! I finished my MIS degree in December 2014 and my M Ed (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation) in October 2016. My murky past is in commerce and industry as a Chartered Accountant, doing a lot of random studying and learning and I’m currently working in an American School but have been a librarian PYP, MYP and IB in other international schools.

They say, unquarantine at 16.18 on the 18th, and not a minute sooner.

I am greatly enjoying your daily report, Nadine, thank you.
May the rest of the time go smoothly, quickly.
And then to the next one?
Yes then we have the famous +7 which just means we can’t return to Beijing for another 7 days, but in a hotel of our choice with (sensible) freedom of movement
