Wow the curtain on this semester is closing down fast. Two weeks to go and there's no way I'm going to be able to cover everything in the chapters the finals are supposed to cover. Between school events, trips, and government tests it seems like I've had about half as much teaching time in the second half of this term as I did in the first - plus our mid-terms were delayed a week leaving for even less time between mid-terms and finals.

Oh well, I'm sure some of the Korean teachers are even worse off time-wise.

We're supposed to cover a lesson every 2 weeks. Which I do.

THen I found out that every K teacher was still just beginning Lesson 4. So. . . okay. I spent two weeks doing an expanded environmental lesson (the them of lesson 4) to give them time to catch up. Now suddenly everyone is on lesson 6, somehow completeing lesson 5 in less than a week. I've just started back on my schedule since I know I'll not only catch up, but pass them by until we reach the final 'one week until finals, better cover 3 lessons!'

Time management is a rampant problem.
