Back in Action

Yes, I’m back in frigid, windy Yeosu, not enjoying the change from the warm weather of the previous three weeks. I returned on Sunday feeling a little under the weather–I seem to always pick up a bug at the end of my stay in Laos. That and getting started with classes again have kept me from posting anything since my return.

My schedule right now has me working three classes in the morning from 9 to 12 and one in the evening from 6:30 to 7:30. Not bad, but it’s going to get a lot busier next week and for the following three. Then, I’ll have two additional classes in the afternoon, from 1 to 3. In all, that’s 30 contact hours a week, a bit of a killer sked. To make things worse, all the classes are different levels, so that means 6 different lesson plans every day, a real back-breaker. Oh, well, at least it’s some more overtime pay. After four weeks, the two afternoon classes finish, so I’ll be back to the four-a-day schedule.

So, I’m not sure how much posting I’ll be able to do in the upcoming month or so, but I’ll try to get some Laos photos on here soon. Can’t promise much as far as daily postings, but I’ll certainly post something at least on the weekends. More later.
