Tuesday

Okay, time for my attempt at updating a couple times a week. How is everyone doing? That’s great. I’m doing fine, as well. Next week, I’m going to be taking over a morning class. One of my coworkers is leaving (his contract ended and he’s not going to renew it), and I get his class of seven year olds. They’ve got an unfortunate name: Brown Class. It’s a step down from Lemon Class, name-wise, but a big step up work-wise. I’m kind of looking forward to having children who I only have to worry a little about eating their pencils and peeing their pants. It still happens in seven year olds (that’s five and six year olds to those of you who don’t know Korean ages), but it’s not an everyday occurrence. And let’s face it, I’m not really the nursery age type of teacher.

Plus, my favorite kid in the school is in this class. Justin is his name, and I’m not sure why he’s my favorite. He’s actually kind of a pain. But lucky for him, he’s adorable. In a school of very cute children, he kind of reminds me of my old neighbor. Anyway, Justin’s in Brown class, as is a little boy named Jayden. When I first came to this school, I really disliked Jayden (he’s slow in class and doesn’t pay a lot of attention). However, he’s grown on me. Other than those two, I haven’t had any of the other kids before, but I’m still kind of excited about it.

Still, it’s a change. I’ll no longer be sitting silently in front of my laptop in the mornings. As all of you know (unless you’re a stranger, in which case hello!), I’m the anti-morning person. So it was really great to be able to scowl at my paperwork. In fact, the morning scowl probably made people think I was working really hard. However, they’re not as fond of us scowling at the kids. But Adam, who I’m replacing, isn’t much of a morning person, so I’m sure it’ll be fine.

We’ll be getting a new girl on Saturday, as well. Then, it’ll be official that H and I (as in me, not the letter) are no longer the new people. So I guess it’s fair to say that this weekend will bring some serious changes to my life.

There. How’s that for an update? It may have lacked the pizzazz of getting lost or sick, but it’s all you’re getting for now. Unless something drastic happens, or something.
