Open class,

OPEN CLASS. So let's begin with this past Friday. This past Friday went really well I think. I was kinda looking forward to it since I was to go to an open class and so it would be nice for a change of routine. Btw, open classes are when you go to a school and go watch some else's lesson. They really prepare a lot and make it like the "ideal" class and so this is supposed to give you good ideas on things that you can do in your classroom and it is also an opportunity for the other teacher to get some input and maybe improve upon some things. So first of all, i was supposed to take the bus to go to the open class (found the way, as always, on google maps) But then when i walked to the bus stop I could not find the stop on the sign of where I was supposed to be going and so I since I did not want to risk being late for the open class i opted for taking a taxi cab. I actually got really lucky because the taxi driver spoke English rather well and so it was nice because we got a chance to talk on the way to the school. Finally, i got to the school, found the room, and introduced myself to the Korean teacher, who was nice. Then Jefferey, the foreign teacher, came in to say hello and introduce himself. btw.... he is super cute! kinda like out of a magazine. :-) And I thought it was nice that he was not totally dressed in a full suit or anything (some people do for open classes) but that he was well dressed, but still looked natural... it didn't look like he tried too hard- if you know what i mean... which was seriously a breath of fresh air after the last open class. The class went well, then we discussed, and then went out to lunch with the rest of the teachers.... BUT... OMG i felt so bad, i was late for my class,which started at 1:20. why? the teachers said they wanted to go to lunch, and i said fine... but then on the way to lunch they said we would probably take longer and so i asked if they could drop me off at my school and they said yes. I thought I said "please drop me off, and then go to eat...because if we are gonna take longer i would rather just go directly to my school" but i guess they understood "we will eat and then take you to your school so it takes you less time to get there" Anyways.... i ended up being late and felt like shit. Seriously.... anyone who knows me knows how anal i am about punctuality, and so I felt super bad.... but there was nothing I could do. Unfortunately. Oh well.... eventually got back to school, and did the rest of my classes.

then after school and after my extra class sienna, Jacky and i went to a show, which was super nice. nami teacher unfortunately could not come... she was not feeling well. Anyways... the show, as i said was nice, though i liked the one from last week better. And yes, i confess... my eyes WERE closing for a bit part of it, as i was super tired.
