A Teaching Factory

Today was kind of a miserable day at work~
On Saturday I have 4 classes where there is a grand total of 18 students. However, I think many more are dropping by the day. I think I will be down to 12 students or less by March. Maybe its because of Carrie's comments, or the fact that they are almost finished with their school or that they have found a better place but I wish I could be in the loop a little bit more.
Carrie and Miss Jeong seem to be newly acquired friends as I was out of the loop by everybody. I literally felt like I was a ghost walking the halls of Yale.


I went the Hansot for Lunch today. It was good to see fried chicken again I have been away from it so long. 1 week I think the chicken missed me.


I went to Downtown Gumi today~ I ended up going to a Fancy Smancy Restuarant with my friend Aaron. It was so expensive I dont know how I ended up only paying 14 dollars. I had Spaghetti and a drink! After that we went to a movie at the theater. I need to get out more at night I think. I enjoy the night life sometimes. I think I will be up late tonight trying to piece out the puzzle I have a lot of things I need to accomplish this week. I am so happy tomorrow is Sunday a rest day a calming before the storm so to speak.


My Teaching is in dire need of a tune up. I want to improve my teaching so much I wish I knew an answer....I want to make work at Yale easier and better but I am not so sure about my options.

I had an idea about teaching called the Teaching Factory ... I am just spitting out lesson plans likety split on the double. I wish I could fine tune it a little bit. Unfortunately I am seeing many of the kids ruin or destory the work I created specifically for them. It makes my job meaningless and very unappreciated.


At the rate work is going at Yale we just need to push a few more buttons to crank up the body count.


I am just happy that this is the last Saturday of the month that I will feel poor I am sure.


Anyways, I am looking forward to the challenges that next week should bring. Which I am sure will be many...

Its almost Sunday in Korea so I am getting ready to hit the sack.
