So after just hitting the 4 month mark, I have a very busy month ahead of me!!

4 more weeks of teaching… 4 more long weeks of teaching because I feel numerous scheduling changes happening similar to this week.

Movies to Hobbies to Christmas and then Review and a Test! I have decided to give tests and grades to all my oral English classes. That’s ten classes to grade and roughly 600 students. But, I feel that my students need to see that oral English is important and needs to be taken seriously, therefore they will be getting grades ranging from A+ to B+ since a B is considered the Asian F. I don’t want any parent calls…

Then there is the holiday and birthday celebrations! Christmas weekend is filled with Patty and Tom’s Birthday, lunch buffet, party, gift exchange and more.

The following weekend is another birthday celebration, our liasion’s chinese wedding and New Year’s.

Also have assignments due, classes to observe and a month long trip to plan!

We leave for SE Asia in less than a month. I don’t even know where to begin. During all of this I also want to find time to really buckle down and study Chinese, lesson plan profusely and reorganize my life! Ahh, where does the time go?
