Back to School

Vacation is over, my friends--at least in Korea!  Today was the first day back at school for myself, my coworkers, and all of our students.  Unlike last week where we had 5 glorious days of planning, we're back to teaching this week.  There's mixed emotions from students about returning, but the general vibe of the day is excitement.  Today was a very casual day for me, getting to learn and re-learn students' names, as I have  new classes this semester.  Also on the agenda:  laying out the plan for the year as well as rules.  I've got a fair number of ideas that I'd like my students to get the opportunity to do, and hope that this semester will be a good one.

In three weeks we'll have a short vacation thanks to Chuseok, the Korean Thanksgiving holiday.  The 3-day holiday is Sunday through Tuesday this year, giving us a long weekend.  Haven't decided yet what to do, but there a few options on the table.  I'm crossing my fingers that the weather will start cooling down sooner rather than later, as I am anxiously awaiting fall.

I'm sure that this semester will be filled with interesting moments, which I look forward to bringing to you!

  2. Actually, no. Just surprised how quickly the next break will come up. Doesn't stop me from getting ideas for the next longer vacation but I'm enjoying being back at school now. :)
