Rotterdam and gumbabies Hello from KL International Airport; I'm waiting for my flight to Amsterdam.→[More:]
I applied for the KaosPilots in Rotterdam because I figured I had nothing to lose. To my surprise and joy, I got shortlisted for their Admissions Workshop. Even got a special personal email from their Principal for the trouble.

I'm now at KLIA; my flight has been delayed an hour so I'm now boarding at 12:40am. Yep, past midnight. I tried asking for an upgrade (it was a fairly empty flight); no dice. I did get extra peanuts from the earlier connecting flight though.

I'm so excited!! Some of us TestPilots have been chatting on Facebook and I'm really keen to see how this turns out. The Dutch KPs have struck me as being more caring of their applicants and more interested in taking care of us (they've sent us care packages, they've booked accommodation, they're meeting us at the train station) so I have good feelings about this group.

Also: I'm getting a hell of a lot of gumbabies on my EdDev site. Youth NGOs from Africa and Asia are posting formal letters as comments on my site thinking I'm the UN or Oxfam or World Bank. How do I gently discourage them? It's getting maddening.

What are you looking forward to for the week?
