School Update

As most of you know, Tim is doing school via the internet while we are traveling. I just thought I would give you a quick update to school days on the road.

As we left Asia, Tim had finished two of his three classes more than a month ahead of schedule (A in English). He is hoping to complete Math in the next week or so. For most of our four months in Asia, we have done school for several hours in the morning and then went about our business the rest of the day. There are few days that were all school and a number of days without internet, so no school.

I won’t say it has been easy. Tim has done school work in tiny hotel rooms, internet cafes, restaurants, bars, beaches, buses, trains and a multitude of other places. (A big thanks to Callum and Caroline for letting us print all the study guides off while we were visiting in Hong Kong)

I think his most trying moment was trying to take a test in an internet café while an American girl next to him freaked out on her boyfriend over skype. For over an hour she cried, screamed, pleaded and begged loudly. Tim got an A on the test and discovered the kind of girl to stay away from (there should be extra credit in that somewhere).

He’s done a good job keeping up with his commitments and now is looking forward to an extra long summer in Europe without any school to do.
