I am home before 2pm as it's wednesday, classes end at 1pm and I figured I didn't want to hang around the staff room so I packed up the summary scripts to mark at home. My brother was waiting in the carpark, it's the first time he's driving by himself since he got his license and it was a pleasing feeling to have your little brother pick you up from work. Nothing really much today, I have just been going into classes and telling the girls to do their work quietly while I mark away. Time flies by, and before you know it the bell goes. I did have to tell a lecture of girls off on Monday, in typical angry teacher fashion though.

I have been looking out in the newspapers these last 2 days, in case you haven't realised, something momentous is happening in Myanmar, I just hope this doesn't turn out to be another Tiananmen. I just feel that if the US or the European countries are really serious about promoting democracy and freedom, this is the place, now is the time they should intervene. I know that Gandhi won it through non-violence but given the trend in the last 2 decades, I just don't think it will happen. The chapter will just end with tanks rolling in, and I fear for the monks and the protestors.
