vanakkam, namala!*

i have to make this quick as this day is passing me by faster than my youthful beauty...

y'all be relieved to know that i ordered the duke's math textbook and workbook today...

apparently the same one they use in singapore...

go figure...

and yes, i ordered a teacher's manual too...

oh, and did you know that the official language of singapore is malay, but in fact english is predominant?...actually, they speak malay, english, chinese, and tamil...but most of the country and especially the administration is english speaking...

it's a good thing too, i have a hard enough time with math without having to try to figure out how to teach it in tamil...

x.

*hello in tamil
