Curling, Dinner, and a Concert
One of my students is an exchange student from Thiland. He is taking physics externally so he can take both of my classes. He is great to have in class, and very polite and just an all around good student. In class on Friday he asked if I was going to watch him in the band concert on Monday night. So Monday after school Erin headed to Virginia. While I was waiting for her to make the 80 mile journy, I went curling with Tony at the curling club in Eveleth. It was my first attempt at the sport. I found that I seemed to bang my left knee up a bit when I would push off to deliver the stone. There really is a learning curve. It was a lot of fun. When Erin made it into town we went out for dinner at Good Fellas just down the street from the curling club. After dinner we walked around Target a bit where I picked up some much needed chap stick.
We left Target and headed over to the school. I showed Erin around the school a little more and then we went and found a couple of seats in the upper deck of the auditorium. The concert started off with the Jazz Band which my thi student was apart of. It was fun to watch them play. He was very animated while playing the piano. The whole concert was very good. Virginia is really well known for its band and chior programs. After the concert we had the 40 mile drive to get home and ended up climbing into bed as soon as we got home around 10:00.
