So, I had my first official assessment as a working professional today. The district supervisor and my vice principal came to observe one of my level one classes today. I was nervous, but hoping that the presence of the higher ups would put my kids on their best behavior. Of course, I arrived to find the audio not working. My lesson was pretty media heavy, but Sung-In helped me improvise the listening sections and I stood in front of the class and just sang the "Bye bye Birdie" song we were going to listen to (today's lesson involved the telephone). Nevertheless, it went pretty well. Afterwards, I got praise and advice and coffee and snacks in the principals office. Not too shabby.
Anyways, heres the roundup:
Number of Days in Korea: 47
Number of Words of Korean in my actual vocabulary: 7 (hello, goodbye, thank you, pretty, hurry up, really? and where?)
Coffee Count for the day: 3.5
Level of homesickness: 2 out of 10
Plans for the weekend: Fulbright interview, then clubbing with Jee Hye (a teacher I work with)on friday, Korean Rock Festival on Saturday (from 9am to ???), Sunday will hopefully be a day for me to chill out at home and learn some Korean but I can't be too certain that that will be the case.
Random Korea fact of the day: Korea has the cleanest subway bathrooms I have ever seen. Literally. Its impressive.
Total score for life in Korea thus far: 9.8 out of 10.
