After that we got to the school and got our full schedules for training. I won't go into much detail about it, but basically I start at 10:30 and finish around 7:30. The morning is learning about the different classes and tracks, and the afternoon/evening is mostly observation. I have a mock lesson at the end of this week, which I'm pretty nervous about, and then I'll be assigned to my classes. Next week is all lesson planning, observation, and learning about teaching the specific classes that I'll be taking over.
This is the view from the windows across from the front door of my school. Olivia likey.
After finishing my first day of training, I ran back to the motel for a very brief nap before heading out again to meet some of my new coworkers for dinner. Dinner was really tasty, but the lack of sleep was making me feel a bit sick so I mostly just sat there while we talked. After dinner, I collapsed in my bed and managed to get a few hours of sleep, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to turn off one of the lights. It wasn't tied to the light switch and none of the buttons on the remote said anything about "light." In a lot of Korean hotels, you have to put the key in a slot by the door in order to turn on the lights or A/C. That left me with two options: sleep with the light on, or take the key out of the slot and shut off the A/C as well. I ended up with only about 5 hours of sleep, but it was better than the night before.
Tomorrow is a suuuuper early day - Ingrid and I have to go to immigration and lines are horrendous this time of year...
Beautiful view, but it looks to me like the person who painted the lines on the street had a little much Soju the night before. You think? ;-)
