Easy Week

I've only had one class a day the last three days because all of our kindy's were at an English Camp Wednesday through Friday. To keep us busy we all had to make some worksheets, but that took about 2 hours of total work. That means I've had about 22 hours of free time. On Wednesday I had grand plans of completely preparing myself for the upcoming weeks of teaching, but it turned into a lot internet surfing and watching tv online. Oh well. It's been pretty fun.

Next week we have another "open week". This is when the students' parents are invited to come observe the classes. It was kind of upsetting to the teachers because just last week we were told that we were going to make DVD's of our classes to replace the open days. We had a camera man come in and tape our classes, and they were going to distribute it to all of the teachers. Well at some point during the last week that idea went out the window. I didn't really mind having the camera guy in the classroom though. The kids all turn into little angels when there's a camera on them.

So I don't have much time until my next class starts, but I wanted to let all of you guys know that if you would like to spend some time actually talking to me, I downloaded Skype. It works really well, and I even have a webcam so I can make faces and do dances for you. In the case that I am not the only Mike Fitzgerald in South Korea, my user handle is mikefitzge.

Also, a few people have asked for my address, and I have it now, so if you'd like it, let me know and I'll email it to you. If you send me something I will try to send you a little Korean trinket in return.
