Guess whose spring break has (sort of?) started two weeks early...

... my sons'. Not necessarily mine. Situation unclear, further research necessary.

Officially, school and kindergarten are cancelled until the end of actual spring break (April 22nd). But we still have to come in on Monday and Tuesday for those kids whose parents didn't manage to secure supervision for them at short notice. And then we'll have to figure out how to keep emergency classes running for the 5th and 6th graders whose parents' jobs are on the "indispensable" list (police, fire services, HEALTH,...). Amusingly, teachers are not on the "indispensable" list, although they're presumably the people who have to supervise the kids whose parents have indispensable jobs. ?!?!?! Maybe this will be amended during the weekend.

Of course, the government left it for so long that a few undiscovered cases are bound to have infected their classmates. We'll find out over the course of the next weeks...

In the meantime, I have my educational sciences exam on Monday. Am undecided whether I should hope that it gets cancelled, too, or whether I should hope that I can get it over and done with. Urgh. According to the people who already had their exam this week, it's "fairly relaxed". I'm anxious nonetheless.

It's been A Week (TM). (A lecturer in university once said "I'd say it's been one of those weeks, but it's more like one of those lives I'm having". As the cool kids say, Big Mood.)
