Last week I spent most of my time shadowing the English teacher that I replaced. It was a crazy week. I felt like I had so much new information coming at me all the time- about my job, about living in Korea. And on top of that, I was super jetlagged. So basically the week was really overwhelming! But I am really thankful because the teacher that I replaced was super helpful and informative. It was a crazy week but at the end of it I felt pretty ready to take on my new job.
Over the weekend I took my first trip to Seoul with some of my coworkers. It only took about an hour by bus to get there, so that's pretty convenient. We stayed in a hostel Friday night in Seoul, and then spent Saturday shopping and eating (even ate at a Taco Bell!).
This week was my first week of teaching by myself! It was a little stressful, but I don't think it will be that bad once I get the hang of it. The curriculum isn't that hard to teach, and the students seem pretty good. The hard part will be the fact that I have 12 different classes and I teach out of 13 different textbooks/curricula. It's a lot to keep track of!
This weekend I'm going on another trip! The World Fair is in Korea this year, and my coworkers and I are going. We will travel on a bus all night to get to the city of Yeosu, where the World Fair is being held. We get to spend Saturday at the fair, and then Sunday we are going to see some famous green tea fields! I'll definitely post pictures.
Also my coworkers and I have been making plans for what to do over our 2 upcoming school breaks. We are going to go to Jeju Island, which is a famous island off the coast of Korea AND we are going to Osaka, Japan! Crazy, right? I'm so excited!
