Yay for field trips and tests!!

This week has been a pretty awesome week to start teaching; aside from the district test all the 6th graders took on tues, giving me my morning free, yesterday all the 4th graders had a field trip! again giving me a free morning. It was pretty cool...despite the fact that now all the lessons are out of synch. But I'm gonna let my co-teachers worry about that :) (and BONUS: next week my coteachers are going to some workshop or other, on fri & sat, so I'm pretty sure I'll have a 3 day weekend!)

Today was alright; I think I'll slip into the routine of things pretty easily, though it's already threatening to get boring. This morning was the first morning that I ran into a crazy amount of people on the subway, so I have to take back what I said about the packing in thing;we were sardines. When I get home, I will be returning with crazy mob-crowd navigating skills; perfect for the next concert I go to. Another note on the subway; I tend to look at people's phones, b/c I don't have one yet, and I'm just scoping things out. This chick took out a phone, and it looked like and iphone. Then she pulled out its antenna. It was a tv. and she got a signal in the subway. my first thought? cool. my second? I'm gonna lose an eye (thankfully she moved the antenna away from my vital parts). Today, however, I saw another person with tv; and this is for you, Deb!! Someone who will appreciate it! He was watching SUPERNATURAL!! It was awesome (and yes, I can name the episode, but I won't act like the total Supernatural geek I am). After work, I went grocery shopping, and lugged a Cameron-sized bag home to my apartment. Despite how weight-liftingly heavy it was, I was disappointed to find that my kitchen still looks unlived in...my fridge contents look pretty forlorn. Anyway, tomorrow I only have 4 6th grade classes, then lunch, then me and my coteacher are going to Seoul to get my Alien Registration Card (hereafter, ARC!) Yay! Its almost like I actually live here! :)
