mini summaries of the past couple of days =)
friday
TGIF. never been so happy in my life that it was friday. learned that teachers look forward to the weekend as much as students do. relaxed afterwards with some of the teachers at school and then headed off to spa world con la familia!
saturday
my first out-of-school student encounter. i was enjoying some frozen yogurt with the lovely hanna lee in rockville, sitting and chatting by the front window, when i saw some kids running around who happened to stop right in front of yogiberry. lo and behold, it's a student i recognize from school! we make eye contact and as soon as the information registers in both our minds, the student's face morphs into a look of shock and bewilderment, as if it suddenly hit him, "teachers have social lives?!?!"
i have excruciating amounts of reading for my graduate classes. farewell to any semblance of a social life. looking forward to meeting you again next summer.
sunday
glorious and copious amounts of sleep for the weekend. i've been told that it's impossible to make up the sleep debt but my body begs to disagree. been sleeping way too much but i definitely feel rested.
monday
visited halmuni con la familia and then had breakfast together. finally getting down to lesson planning and grading. i have no idea how teachers do this. i'm only teaching two classes and am finding this quite the challenge. five classes, one planning period, team meetings, and taking care of yourself? kudos to our educators!
