I got a schedule change on Monday that was introduced to me as good news and more good news. I can’t disagree: starting next week, I won’t work Saturdays! This is pretty unheard of, especially for a new teacher, and I’m still unclear on the rationale, but I’m not going to argue. It also means I only work at Chang Long, instead of splitting time with Rong Fu. Rong Fu is way classier looking, not to mention closer to where I currently live, but it’s nice to only have one place to focus on.
What this means, though, is that I haven’t met all of my classes yet. Instead of teaching my Saturday class on …well, Saturday, I’ll teach them when they come in on Wednesday. After them, I’ll have a new class of junior high schoolers. This class is supposed to be a little more advanced, so we’ll see how/if that changes anything.
The names of these places are delightful. I’m such an ugly American. =P
next time, i’ll include characters. so exotic!
i’m trying to think of the best way to have characters, pinyin, and a translation without looking cluttered or confusing.
I just discovered your blog. I will add it to my favorites bar once Im on my computer again.
I think it would be good to punch all the little kids every time they even say the name poopoo king. Just, you know, a swift uppercut to the chin. Should shut them up.
Le mama has come to terms with me being there for Christmas!!
yeah, that’ll be effective. also, yay!
