A list of good things about today~ :D

3) found out how to turn on my heat, work the washer, and sort my trash! :D
4) found a 2 liter bottle of Coke Zero ^^

7) I think that may be it. there is no seven. Except that I will soon have clean clothes. And I'm getting another blanket from the school tomorrow I think :D

So this is the summary of my first day teaching. Copied and pasted directly from when I was talking to my mom about it. :) (why repeat all that typing twice? ^^)


My first class was horrible. They wouldn't listen at all. But then the second class was really good and enthusiastic. They were doing so good with the stuff we were doing on the board that we didn't finish the worksheet that we were doing it for. And then I had the babies and they were cute and told me they loved me and gave me hugs.

[10:14:53 AM]: I got the schedule for next week and I have the babies most of the morning and then I have a few classes throughout the week with the other two kindergarten classes that I taught.

[10:16:47 AM]: And then I had lunch, which was really good, and came back to take a short nap. Or just lie down really. I woke up with a sore throat and I was kind of achy, so I figured I was getting a cold. I took some Tylenol and went back for the elementary classes and they were all really good too. I had four and in the next to last one we finished the worksheets really early and so they played hangman. But they kept guessing the words I was using. Even when I used refrigerator which they can hardly pronounce.

[10:21:42 AM]: And then I had my last class, which is our highest level class but they also don't talk. At all. You just sit there and try to get answers out of them. But during the afternoon I had started to feel worse and so I was just trying to get through that class so I could go home and go to sleep. During the middle of the class though I felt like I was going to pass out suddenly and had to sit down. I tried to keep going because I was just reading a passage out loud, but I had to get one of the students to get the teacher for second class. She came and I went downstairs and our director came over and took my temperature. It was 38.9 which the online converter told me is about 102 farenheit. So since I didn't have any medicine and if you're sick you go to the hospital here, the director took me to the hospital. And they said it's the flu or cold, probably from moving here, having my first day, and just working with kids (and a lot of them have been sick lately). So they gave me medicine, Patric got me some soup (it was like chicken and rice but with vegetables) and I came back and went to sleep.

[10:22:08 AM]: I went to sleep at 9:30 last night and slept till almost 8 this morning

[10:22:18 AM]: But I do feel much better today

So that's the summary of my first day teaching. It was rather eventful at the end, but it was good overall. My CEO said that I did good teaching. We have CCTV so he probably watched through that and then he did come into one of my classes to observe as well. So it went really well till the end of the day and if I hadn't suddenly felt like I was going to pass out I could have just made it through and gone home to sleep. But I did get medicine that's helped since I went to the hospital, so that's not a bad thing. I just hate the I took up Patric's time when he was supposed to be working or probably doing something at school. And he said he would be by today to bring me more soup :). While some of the other teachers might not like all of our bosses too much, they've been great to me so far. I can't complain at all. They really helped me out and took care of me last night when I felt horrible. I think I still have a low fever today and my throat is a little sore, but since I'm just sitting around I don't feel too bad. If I went out and tried to do something I think I'd just get worse, so it looks like I'm stuck around here for the weekend. I really hope they let me teach Monday and don't quarantine me.

So I posted a few weeks ago all nervous about my interview and everything and haven't really said anything about it since XDD So let's just say, that despite the fact that they didn't call on the night I thought they were going to they did call. And it went well ^^. So now I'm leaving around the 28th~~~ I have my interview at the consulate next Wednesday and then pretty much as soon as I have my Visa I'm leaving. :D

I'm so nervous about it, but at the same time excited. I know that I'm just going to be all over the place until I get settled in and somewhat comfortable. I'm nervous about teaching and what exactly I'll be teaching. (As in I don't know the teaching style or what exactly they'll require of me in that area.) I also don't know exactly how it will be being away from the university and well I'm just a nervous person in general when I don't know what's going to be going on exactly. At the same time I'm so excited to go back. So I'll just have to take it as it comes and adapt - quickly XD.

Also, I have no skills when it comes to packing. I can make it all fit sure, but I just pack too much stuff ><. And I am watching the boys' comeback performance right now after just reading a post about it and seeing it makes me insanely happy :D.

My school just called!!!!!!!!!!!!

so I'm rather nervous right now~~~

I got a job offer for EOS in Suwon and they're supposed to be calling at 11 tonight. Or either 11 tomorrow night. but I think tonight. even though it isn't a job interview in the strictest sense (I think we'll be more talking about the job itself and where I would be living. or that's what I've been told.) it still makes me rather nervous~~~~

I'm just kind of sitting around waiting for it to be 11~
