Open Class, Close Fall

I had my open class today. Aside from the lesson taking a little longer than 45 minutes, everything was good. One of my favorite students came up to me before the class and said "Teacher, relax, you will be great." and after class he said "Teacher, did we do good?"...if only all students were as sweet as him.

Anyway, the evaluation conversation part lasted about 5 minutes followed by 20 minutes of eating cookies and jeju oranges while the other teachers chatted in Korean. It was nice. I knew I was stressed about this, but wow there's a huge difference in how I feel just from having gotten it over with!

I'm so glad its over. Now I can enjoy my weekend with my friends, and not have to worry about next week's lessons. Why? Because its Thanksgiving lesson week, chello!*




Remember this picture from last week?

That was Fall gathering its keys and phone...


So even though Fall is still at the party,


Winter is running up the sidewalk, about to knock down the front door.


*Chello- Think Jack Black in School of Rock...call Hannah if you need to hear an example.

Monday

It's a Monday for sure. After a fun relaxing weekend, Mondays just tackle me. There's no penalty flag thrown either. It gets away with everything!

But I've made it through the day. Granted, I did spend my entire afternoon class playing hangman and watching two parts of A Cinderella Story instead of one.

But I was able to get back up and run towards the end zone.
This was my walk home from school...




I stopped to buy some Jeju oranges, some bread to make a PBJ, and bought a delicious cinnamon thing from a street vendor. The rest of this Monday will be spent in bed eating peanut butter and watching movies.

Take THAT Mondays!
