Well, I've made my first blunder. I'm glad to have it over with, since making a dumb mistake was inevitable. It's kind of like my sister when she dropped her daughter by mistake- she was relieved that she's got that over with and no one was hurt!
So, here's what I did. I ordered 200$ worth of books from the Centre des Ressources Pedagogiques "direct" without filling in the Board office's PO. A "P.O." is a purchase order. Who knew! Ah well! No harm done. I just have to do it correctly the next time.
Last night and tonight I managed to work away on the new pile of books that were sent to me. They were mostly fabulous. I also spent some time fiddling around on the internet for our group project. I didn't find anything interesting though. (Well, I did manage to buy baby Adara some clothes on eBay, but that was just a 10 minute sidetrack).
