Today should be my first full day of teaching. I say "should" because I was supposed to begin on Tuesday and it is now Thursday. My Tuesday classes were canceled for student health examinations and I had to leave school yesterday because the vice principal thought I would benefit from going to abother school's open house. I ended up watching a 2 hour presentation about teaching English (spoken entirely in Korean) and learning almost nothing. In any case, I should have four classes today and they are going to start in about 10 minutes.
On to the important stuff - badminton. This week's meetings have forced me to face the grim reality that I need a lot of work. Yesterday, the badminton coach came to improve our form, show us drills, and critique me in Korean. I had no idea how serious these teachers take their badminton.

Hi Andrew,
I have to say that this is the first time I have blogged. Is that what you call it? I signed up to be on your blog account (still don't know if that is the right lingo). Sounds like a lot of fun you are having and certainly making the best of it. I'll be looking in to see your postings and will have the kids looking to. Have fun. Election day is approaching. I am hoping for a major upset, based on what the polls are saying!
Hi Lynne, thanks for the comment and I did notice that you are now "following" my blog. As I hope the blog shows, I am really enjoying myself, keeping busy, and learning a lot about Korean culture.
