Teaching!

The words "teacher teacher" are actually ringing in my head in my quiet room right now hahah. WOW. I guess because kids have been beckoning me with this expression alllll day! SO today was my second day of teaching! It has been an experience so far to say the least. Definitely something that gets easier with practice. Kids aren't that much different from America in that they like to goof around and sometimes it's hard to get them to pay attention, but most of the kids in the classes are very motivated. Grade-motivated primarily, which is kinda sad with the little ones I have in my one class because it makes you think how much time they spend in school and how they probably don't have much time to play or be a kid... They're SO bright though and seem to really love learning, so at least that's a plus.

Some kids, like the ones I had tonight, are typical middle-schoolers and do not want to do anything haha. It was really hard to get them to talk, especially after having younger students all day who are so enthusiastic. It's a big shift.

I'm not teaching the highest level, Albatross, which I was trained in though because someone had already filled that spot about a month ago and so I'm just replacing the substitute. Now, I'm teaching essentially teaching a bunch of different intermediate/high intermediate classes. Woo.

So aside from teaching, life in Korea is good too. Few things to get adjusted to, which I'll talk about tomorrow. Really wish I had that USB or memory card reader. Doesn't feel like blogging without. :[

I've gotta hit the hay now !

Mold update: I can finally BREATH in my apartment and it is amazing. Not finished with the kitchen yet though, but at least I can close the door for now haha.
