Marie Curie: radium :: Watson-Crick: DNA

Today I learned that Marie Curie made some discovery about radium.  I learned this through the analogies lesson my teacher taught today to 15-year olds.
Today we had classroom observations at ICNHS again.  My teacher wants me to do lesson planning with her at her house, but we're not sure if that will get cleared by PC since she lives in another town.  She's a very nice lady and definitely loves her job.  She even told me today that she might be in line to be head of the English department at school (which has 6000+ students).  She doesn't want to, though, because she won't have a "purpose" anymore if she loses her connection to her students.  What a lady!
I had another bad dream last night.  I also saw a dog on my walk to the jeepney stop today with a broken leg.  I just try not to think about those things too much.
On a brighter note, my mom knows about Asia's Biggest Loser.  Hopefully she'll be supportive of me if I leave the house at night to watch it at Meg's.  She also rigged up some spaghetti for me tonight that had potato and eggs in the sauce.  It was dang good.
Today I started on Naked by David Sedaris.  I will probably be done with it by this weekend.
To make things better, I learned today how to say "How are you feeling?" in Hiligaynon: "Kamusta kabatyag mo?"
I also learned today how to say in Korean, "I have to go to the bathroom": 나 화장실가고십어.  That may or may not have taken me 5 minutes to type and it may or may not be typed correctly.
Other than that, today wasn't too interesting.  I am kind of missing my family today, but this picture is good for me.
