End of Season 1

As I am sitting here listening to Big Bang, a famous Korean pop group, I decided that I should write a weekly update since I have nothing better to do. :) It's nice to not be too busy right now. I spent today at a bridal shower for my neighbor and resting at home. This week went super fast. It was my "light week" meaning I only had my full day of teaching on Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday I gave all the students a proficiency test so I wasn't really teaching that day either. I spent most of Friday grading the tests, though. Tomorrow I will give the students the oral. It is interesting to see what they remember and see how much they learned this year. Makes me feel like I am doing something even when it sometimes seems like they aren't making any progress.

The highlight of the week was this weekend. On Thursday evening I went to the HS musical production of Urinetown. It was wonderful! Then, on Friday night I had all the girls on swim team over for a spaghetti dinner. We had a good time playing Catch Phrase and eating ice cream fondue. They also gave me a really cute giant card. It was nice. Then, on Saturday we had our KAIAC conference championship meet. We left at 6 AM and didn't get home until 7:00 PM so it was a long day, but a lot of fun. Most of the swimmers had their personal best times. Unfortunately, one of our last relays got disqualified for an early start so we ended up getting 7th place (our goal was 6th) by just 3 points. Overall it was still a good day though. It will be nice to have more time in my week, but I think I'm really going to miss seeing my team everyday. Luckily, most of them will be back next year!


Most of the swim team before the awards ceremony. The end of a very long day.
