home from winter camp! three weeks out of the city made most of the teachers almost crazy. i was only there for a little more than two, but it is good to be back.
for all of you that were hoping life would get a little more unexciting, you got your wish :)
back to teaching, back to routine. didn't get stuck anywhere, didn't have too many adventures, but we still had some good times.
highlights:
- three days of (free!) skiing with the students. the ski resort, however, was tiny and not all that challenging (which was apparent by the fact that i only rode the diamond runs and they still weren't all that exciting). but it was a good starter slope for the kids and even for me since it has been awhile since i have been on skis. it got really cold the last day, but the first two days were fun and it was a nice break. and every time we got on or off the lift, the lift attendent would practice their english on us.
- playing soccer almost every day in the afternoon (between classes) in the (very packed down) snow with students.
- saturday hike which turned into a snow fight.
the whole hiking group...
- "I've Never" with E5 students...falling off of chairs.
- fourth-grade Kelly taught me Korean one day and then she numbered the paper and made me take a test :)
- catching up on some mars hill sermons - "God doesn't need us, but he loves to use us so we can share in his joy"
- seeing bucheon students and making some new student friends
i will miss them (and many more)
now it is back to the office : / but hopefully i will get a lot of planning done before the semester starts!
how are you? i miss you.
As always, I love all of your pictures! I'm glad you had a good time at winter camp, and hopefully it will be a smooth transition back to the old routine. When does the new semester start?
