Questions suggest inquiry.

I teach a total of 18 classes per week. These 18 classes are a rotation of 7 different classes. Every M, W, F, I teach four classes and every T, T, I teach three. Some classes focus on grammar and writing structure while this other class I have puts emphasis on debating. OoooH-- debate classes are my absolute favourite (because I can choose which topic the class will be debating on!) Also, keep in mind that all my classes are taught in English and usage of Korean during class time is strongly discouraged.

Since this past Monday was the start of a brand new semester, I started each class with an introduction of myself (where I'm from, what my interests are, a little about Vancouver, Canada, etc.) Here's the drill: I write my name REALLY big on the whiteboard and then I get every little rascal to do their own little introduction. After this, I always ask them if they have any questions for me in particular. If I'm lucky, I'll get some interesting questions about my family, life in Vancouver, Canada... but if not, I'll only be asked two "essential" questions:

a.) "How old are you?" and...
b.) "Are you married?"

HAAH. *sigh* My students are such a trip. Honest to gawd, I adore my students. I love coming into my office. I LOVE work. A friend of mine recently told me the only reason why I love work so much is because I am "young and fresh". Okaaaay. Perhaps he has a point. But these days, I have so much energy I don't know what the hell to do with it all.

It's brutal outside today. I have never been so fucking cold, I'll tell you right now. No snow yet. Vancouver cold is NOTHING compared to how cold it gets in Korea. But the fact is, I love Korea and I love what I'm doing at the moment. I literally dance and sing on the streets of Seoul (wearing my big parka and earmuffs and mittens with swine flu mask around my face. YUUUUP!) XP Yes, I know I sound really lame... LOL.

Maybe kids are my passion. WHO KNOWS. But this is what I sincerely believe: There is no better investment than children. Plus, they're cute as hell and they gimme tangerines and chocolates and Korean crackers (because they love me back-- HOHOHO ^-^). What more can one ask for?!
