I had speaking tests with 3rd graders today. My co-teacher thinks I must be very tired, but *secretly* I'm so happy that I'M doing the tests. I had such a stressful few days with my 2 in 1 day demo classes.
Teaching is physically tiring, but with the speaking tests, the students come to me individually in the office, I show them a few sentences in Korean and they have to say the English of it. Not too bad at all... :)
Tomorrow I'm testing 4th graders. Kindergarten class today was a headache as always. OMG... when the bell rings, I can't *wait* to escape~!
Felt so sleepy during my after school class. Don't know how I dragged myself home. I stopped at the hairdresser to trim my fringe (AKA "front hair" by Koreans), and she looked at my hair with a very questionable look and asked me who cut my hair. Clearly it's not good.
I simply can't wait for my hair to grow so that I can have it cut into a PROPER style and not some 'style' that makes me feel like a guinea pig of an experiment gone wrong. During the week I am really busy, so I have no time to fancy my hair up. So usually I just have it tied or pinned up (best thing to do in this heat).
I forced myself to go to the gym. Had a good workout and came home feeling energized and refreshed.
* I shared the elevator with someone on my floor - sometimes we leave for work at the same time in the mornings, but we only just greet e'other. Today I started talking to her - she can speak little English, so our convo was short and sweet. She lives a few doors down from me and she's a furniture designer.
Tomorrow - 5 classes of Grade 4's, then have to go out to another school to observe an open / demo class at another school. Good night, y'all xxx

I could never teach. I have no patience. It's already tiring with two kids of my own.
You know what's funny. I heard about "fringe" from an Aussie girl. I had no idea what it meant. In the USA, we call it "bangs."
It's great you're working out. I do have to force myself too sometimes. But it's definitely worth it.
Don't overwork yourself. Have a great day!
@ Nicki~ Teaching young Elementary School kids has been a great learning experience for me, and has definitely taught me PATIENCE!!! I always had a LOT of patience, especially with children.. but at times, it's very thin :)
Yeah, I know about "bangs" :) Some of my Korean friends found the word very strange.
Have a great week ahead :)
