One Of Those Weekends

Friday was 'Parent Day' at GEC, which meant parents were invited to come meet (and talk to) all teachers. They were first given a presentation about GEC's educational approach - all in Korean, of course - then, they were encouraged to go to the teacher's classroom to meet the Korean & Foreigner that's in charge of teaching their child.

Since i'm only teaching 4 children's classes this semester, as you can imagine, the number of parents who attended was pretty low. With my Korean partner, I met the two parents that decided to come, and was faced with the difficult task of answering questions such as 'How are you?'. The bulk of the conversation happened in Korean, so the real challenge for me was to stay focused, and not start drifting off somewhere else.

It ain't as easy as it sounds.

The weekend was a pretty uneventful one - a little drinking, a little eating, and watching a heck of a lot of TV. I've managed to finish Season 6 of 24, leaving me no excuse for not-doing-anything next weekend.

Have a good one.
