Schedule

One of the great things lately about my job change has been the schedule. I am to teach up to 24 hrs each week. I am at school from 8:30 to 4:30, and this kind of schedule makes me feel like a normal working class citizen. So far I haven't adjusted enough to coming home after work and doing something fun or creative. This is because I have been recovering from my sinus infection, which is getting better...slowly.

Anyways, as adults we work a lot of our waking life. You spend a good chunk of your time at your workplace and with those people you work with. In my case it is one coteacher and lots of children. This is a different contrast from working at the hagwon, because I worked with 5 Korean coteachers, who all had their own personalities. As we all know, it didn't go all too well.

And so the really most enjoyable aspect is the schedule.

Let's take a look:

• Mon: 9am - 12pm = 4 classes, free till 3pm with one class.
• Tues: 9am-12pm = 4 classes, free till 4:30 pm when I go home.
• Wed: 9am- 11:30 = 3 classes, free till 3 pm with one class.
• Thurs: 9am - 12pm = 4 classes, free till 4:30pm when I go home.
• Fri: 9am - 12pm = 4 classes, 1pm - 4:30pm = 3 classes (the busiest day)

It is like a donut, with the busiest days being Mon and Fri. But it is a strong difference compared to the 7 classes I taught each day at the hagwon, not to mention I won't have an intensive period.

Since my surroundings and schedule are all pretty much wonderful, not having a window is something I can live with, till they work out getting me a new home.

Winter vacation is coming for the school which will last through Dec.26 to Jan. 26...something like that. I have to tell them when I want my 2 weeks vacation and when I want to teach 1 week of winter camp. For that remaining week I don't know if I still work or what.

This weekend looks a little busy, for I am going to go into Gangnam to do my um "English giving". ;)

And I still need to kind of unpack so my little space isn't so crowded.

Well back to work!
