This is the year that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends...

This will be a quick post. A streaming of thoughts, if you will.

Final exams were December 7-10, 2010.

What has happened since December 10th?

3 weeks of class: one week of which I had none due to going over the exam, another week of which I was on my death bed, and one week of a Christmas game

Then school let out for winter vacation. Ah, but you are on the other side of the world. I need to explain further.

vacation- n. a period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually used for rest, recreation, or travel; recess or holiday

vacation in Korea- v. a period of suspension of rest, recreation or travel, usually used for extra studying at academies, winter English camp, or group study in a freezing classroom

Remember when I said that final exams were December 7-10th?
Well, today is February 7, 2011, which clearly means that kids should come back to school for one week.

This is not the first week of the new school year. This is the last week of the school year. The one with the final exams on December 7th.

"What the hell is going to happen this week?" you might ask.

Today is Monday. The first day back after over 6 weeks of no public school classes. So naturally, students have end of year exams. These won't count for anything due to the the final exams already being taken and recorded.

The next three days, class is as usual. By usual I mean kids will not listen and be stir crazy due to the fact that they literally have no reason to pay attention. And by usual, I mean I will be teaching another holiday lesson, because the book only has enough information to fill approximately 2 weeks out of a school year.

Friday is Graduation day. This means the principal and a few 3rd grade students will go into the video room and have their ceremony, while other students sit in the classroom and watch it on TV. Then kids will stay until sometime after 4:30 (my ass is out the door after that), studying in freezing classrooms.
