wow I'm so bored right now.... and it's Monday morning. It's final exam week, and so I only have 2 classes... all week, and on friday.
So i'm asking myself... wth am I going to do all week. Sure I've had some consecutive days off before, but never a whole week.
the sad thing is I'm sure I'll accomplish nothing during my time of desk sitting, but then again... what is there to accomplish... travel plans?? make a half assed attempt to learn some more korean? lesson plan.?ugghhhh.... as much as teaching drives me crazy sometimes... I wish I was doing a little of it this week.....
BLAH |

Umm, well, I'm really busy here. I have to start making lessons plans for next year. If I send you the topics, could you maybe put together some pretask-task-posttask lessons with visual aids and work sheets for me?
Please? |

I had that last week.
I was so bored. I at least got to go home early. When the weekend came around I just cleaned because I had already done anything else I needed/wanted to do.
I live in a small town, there is not much to do anyway. |

Lessons for the winter conversation classes to think about and Christmas presents to send.

well... my CT just handed me this list of next years topics... for lesson planning....
the thing is now.... I do only one lesson per week and change it accordingly based on level...
with this little system... it would require 8 compeltely different lesson plans a week....
now I do two or three depending on extra classes.
apparently she thinks i'm slacking.... BUT I refuse to do this her way... as where are her lesson plans?? oh yeah she teachers from a book.... if they want me to do the stupid text book lesson plan topics.... then I might as well just teach straight out of the textbook....
I like doing something different... to mix it up for the students...
oi.... |

Well if you don't want to study something (and I mean, why would you? learning is for suckahs) you could always download the free 10-day trial of World of Warcraft.  |

Hey there. I have been doing the same since last Thursday, sitting at my computer for half of the day. However, I have used the time to read the book Matilda and do some lessons for my Winter Reading camp. I did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the summer and it was a real hit so now I am going to try Matila. While I was home in Canada this summer I managed to find the Matilda video. It's a great way to pass the time away. Now, I have to work on the conversation part of the winter camp...uuuuuhhhhh. Any ideas for a middle school conversation class for two to three weeks? Hoping to find a theme. |

I agree.
I rescheduled my classes and started Sogang last week. Mon-Friday 9-1 then haul ass on the subway to where I teach and do interviews all afternoon.
But hey, I get to study Korean for 10 weeks 4 hours a day, isn't life grand. |
