Last Night Was....

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

Uneventful? Whiney? I guess those two words sum it up. Work last night went by pretty quick, but all the kids seemed to whine about everything we asked them to do. Either that, or they would pretend that they had no idea what I was saying to them, when the totally did. If it wasn't that, then it was the kids only doing their work when I was looking at them and when I turned away, they would stop and do homework from korean school or just sit and talk to each other. I understand that they are all very tired by the time they get to the English School since they go to school all day and then English school at night. I just don't know what to do to make them more interested. We play as many vocabulary games as humanly possible.

Anyways, I guess that is the norm and I just lucked out my first couple days because they were excited to have a new teacher. That is the official opinion.

Today at 1:30 Kyle and I are off to Princeton to get Mihwa and then we are driving to the hospital to get some blood work done. In order to qualify for our Alien Registration Cards we need to show them that we do not have HIV and that we are not on drugs. I am not very excited because I have a hard time peeing in a cup, so I am going to try and hold it all morning till I get to the hospital so I can do it right away.

Last night I asked John what he plans on doing after his year here ends in September, I think, and if they will be looking for another teacher. He said they are actually already looking to hire someone for the end of July to start on August 1st. I mentioned that my friend Matt was looking to start working somewhere around then and they said to ask him. Basically, I guess if he wants it. So, he seems interested and I really hope that he comes. My school is a great place to work and the people are amazing.

I am going to go eat some breakfast now!! I am still not over my jetlag, getting up at 7:30am seems to be the norm about now, but Kyle seems to be sleeping in till around 9am or 9:30am lately. He is doing much better in that department than I am!!
