I went and saw the new Hunger Games movie this week. I was expecting movies to be released later in Kuwait than in Nebraska, but it was out earlier. I went to a 5:30 pm showing on the 20th. The theater was not full. I don't know if it was censored, but I've been told it is better to go to the earlier showings because movies get more censored the longer they play. I did notice that when I went to see The Giver a kiss was cut out.
I went online the night before to buy my Mockingjay tickets. I had to enter if I was a family or a bachelor. This made me hesitate since I am neither. My hunch was confirmed, I am a family. Single men have their own section. It's unfortunate for them that it is in the too close, up front, section.
My hunch was based on this sign I had noticed at a small park in my neighborhood. No single men are allowed to enter the park.

I survived Parent Teacher conferences. In fact they were good. I hadn't met some of my students' parents and it was a nice break from the normal routine. The classroom was much quieter than a typical Thursday.
I also received lots of quality chocolate. I don't mind that at all.

A Dust Storm Hit our Room
One day this week, after we lined up for Arabic class, I called a child over to the other side of the room with me and asked, "Does it look like a tornado hit our room, to you?" "Yes." he replied nodding. "Like a dust storm hit our room." Of course that does make more sense here. Cute.

I thought this logo looked very similar to Office Max's store front. It is actually a Dollar General type store.
Down Time
I think being a teacher is getting a bit easier because I actually read an entire book this week and had enough energy to cook.

That's interesting about them censoring the movies and who sits/enters different places. Sometimes I don't think I would mind if some things were censored, except I might be left wondering what they took out.
