We were really dragging our feet this week...just trying to stay afloat until the end of school on Friday, doing nothing more than necessary and enjoying the Olympics - Dutch coverage is so much better than NBC. Luckily I got out of school bit earlier than usual on Friday. I only have tests for one class to grade, so that isn't too much work for the holiday.
I tried something a bit new this week - an online quiz. I used Google Forms and for the most part it went pretty smoothly, although the wireless connection is so bad that I need to reserve the computer lab as a backup. I made the questions difficult so the students did not do very well. One of them cheated by having a digital version of the book open during the quiz, and his classmates reported him. I was going to talk to him about it but he simply got up and walked out of class.
Friday some results came in about Alies. Naomi didn't understand it. Something with the kidneys. Proteins not unfolding properly and causing things to jam up. Seems terminal. She will stay in the hospital to see how she responds to two weeks of progesterone treatments. Not sure how much time is left...
The car has been of great use to Naomi. She probably wouldn't have made it through the week without it. In a short while we will take it to Amsterdam to visit Ron and Edith because they are working on the rails. Tuesday we will go pick up a special chair for Alies from Gerda and spend a few days on the East Side. Very nice not to rely on public transport any more!
