Last week was the start of our fall term and with 233 students registered it was typical first week of the quarter insanity. Adding to the regularly expected insanity were three things. First Katie is back teaching for the first time in over a year. She is teaching two classes, both on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That means a sitter on Tuesdays and that on Thursdays I am working a full day and then in the evening watching Arianna. Katie is very excited to be back teaching and has already set out weeks worth of lesson plans. The second thing was that with the first week, a board meeting and the grand opening of the new building, John was on island and staying with us. Finally, there was of course the new building and getting it opened and in use. It was supposed to actually host classes last week but we couldn't get electricity to it until Friday so we had to move classes around all week while we waited for that to happen. Tonight will be the first classes in the building which is quite exciting.
The ceremonial grand opening went off Friday afternoon with the Minister of Education on hand to give remarks and representatives from the financial services organizations that had donated money to outfit the two classrooms. Arianna was on hand and happy to be passed around by her ICCI family all of who wanted to hold her and pay attention to her. The building looked great and it will definitely be well received by the students who take classes in the new classrooms. The first official function in the building would happen Saturday as the Board of Trustees held its fall meeting in the CISPA (CI Society of Professional Accountants) classroom. In a bit of good timing this was the bye week for the Horns so no football watching was harmed in the insanity of this weekends events.
