First Day of School

Yesterday was a great day. The kids were all very interested in me as I walked around the hall with Niall. I didn't teach because they are giving me time to watch and learn, which I'm glad for. I made an introduction powerpoint, and I ran that in one of Niall's classes at the beginning. It went pretty well. After that, the kids played Hot Seat with me. I sat in a chair not looking at the screen behind me, and they had to give me clues to a certain picture. In another class, we did a Q&A session, and the students asked me all kinds of questions. They all giggled when they said I had a boyfriend, and one of the students asked my eye color. They were all very amazed to see that my eyes are blue. I'm excited to teach and not nearly as worried about it as I was during orientation. There is a structure for me to follow, so I think I should be good. I think I'm going to be doing more introductions today with some of the classes.

Last night was really fun. I was supposed to have the internet guy come over to set things up, but he couldn't, so he's coming tonight instead. Same thing with Gianni. So Gianni came over, and we made a quick run to Home Plus for a few more things for my apartment. I think I'm almost all set up. I just keep thinking of random other things I need. Gianni got some food at the food court there while I shopped. Then, we took the subway to downtown Daegu to Traveler's, a foreigner bar. Naill did a really great job with Trivia night. Gianni and I were a team of 2, and we didn't do half bad at first. We started out in 3rd place, then moved to 4th in the second round, and ended up in 5th by the end. Oh well!

I was blitzed at the end of the night because I stayed up so late the night before setting up the apartment. We stopped at Home Plus again because Gianni forgot to get something, and then I went home and conked out. Gianni thought he could get the bus home, but I don't think it was running that late, so, unfortunately, he had to walk. I think I may go see his apartment tonight after dinner with the English teachers from school. We were supposed to do dinner last night, but it was moved to today.
