Just wanted to inform you all that I am and will be a bit MIA for a while..because
1. I have joined a school, where I’m teaching English Language and Literature to Grade 5 students…that comprises of two sections..each filled with around 20 over-smart 11 year olds…
2. I am inundated..every other day…with nearly 80 copies of classwork and homework copies..submitted in illegible handwriting that would make a doctor proud (N.B. I am guessing you got the joke since you MUST have come across a doctor’s prescription at least ONCE in your lifetime).
3. Their final examination is coming up… so I am rather bogged down with revisions and all the things that you have to do before such things…bleh!
and.. oh yes…as if I weren’t busy enough…I am also working on some ‘heavy’ (topic-of-research wise) Bengali-to-English translation work for an NGO…where everything ‘was due yesterday’.
So yes.. MIA is and will be the ‘in’ thing for me for the coming few weeks ..
Cheers! (and I DO mean it).
