New Schedule, 3 Day Weekend

My schedule has been completely changed as of tomorrow. I will no longer be teaching Science. I only had one class before, but I really liked my Science class. I got Language added to my arsenal. Thanks. I'm not much of a fan of the semantics and technicalities of language. I learned more English grammar because of Spanish class than I ever learned in an English class. Anyway, my Tuesday/Thursday schedule remains the same. The nice thing is that I now have a prep period everyday but Wednesday. I have two on Tuesday to make up for that though. The reason we are switching the schedule is because BIS hired a new teacher because our grade 2 classes are getting too big and too crazy. The new teacher will only be part-time and work Monday, Wednesday, Friday and is taking some of my most hated and most beloved classes. However, all the current teachers are dealing with the same situation. I had also planned two of the classes I lost until December so it kind of makes me feel like my work was useless. I have however designed and new lesson plan sheet which is much more efficient and visual than before.

Other than that, nothing else in the way of news. We have a three day weekend coming up because of National Foundation Day on Friday. It'll be nice to have a 3 day weekend, but other than dinner with friends on Thursday night, I don't have much planned. Maybe the HiSeoul festival, maybe palace tours, maybe a walk through Olympic Park. Perhaps swimming laps in the Olympic pool or checking out the shooting range? Who knows, but I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend and the weather looks promising thus far for a relaxing, outdoor weekend.
