Day 407

Thursday January 28

I found out today that "Ugly Betty" was cancelled. Why? I liked it! The ratings were going down. I think it will be over in April.

Well at least "How I Met Your Mother" was renewed for the 6th season.

First class was good. I gave them a few mins to study but no one wanted to. Then they took the writing test. They did pretty good. Then they had free time.

My 2nd class was the same as normal. I gave them their newspaper quiz first. They all did good on it. Then I gave them their writing test. Everyone did good on that also. It was a pretty easy test about verbs. The boys were chatty as always. We read an article and then we had free time.

The 3rd class was good. Newspaper class. They liked the articles. We were talking about a dog that was 10 cm. They all got out their rulers. They liked the pictures. Esp the pic of the big fish. A man caught a 42.6 kg fish in France. It was huge. They said "how does someone catch that?" Thats what I'm thinking. How do you reel in a fish that big? They did a good job in class. We listened. Read. Answered questions. I Couldn’t find the board eraser. Don’t know where it was! I wiped the board with my hand once and then turned around the whiteboard eraser and used it. I gave them free time after. They listed to Korean music on my computer.

My last class was good.Gave newspaper test. Then I gave them their writing test. I gave the speaking test to the student who was absent on Tuesday. He did a really good job. Then I gave them free time. I graded tests for 2 students and told them why they got it wrong. They got a 62 and 59. One of the students was telling me the test was difficult. I copy it straight from the book!! One student made a 16 on the test. wow.

I was so tired tonight. Getting less than 4 hours of sleep isn't working out for me. I had to take a long nap. Friday is the last day I'll be on the early schedule. Monday I will go back to having a lot of sleep!

On Saturday I'm going to Everland with the students. I think it will be a fun time. I was looking at the website and I found a discount coupon for foreigners! I'm going to get someone to print it for me. The normal price is 35,000 won but I can get it at 25,000 won for being a foreigner!
