It's currently a holiday in Korea, it's called 추석 Chuseok. it's basically a harvest festival. I however have found myself not doing anything really. But I am going to socialise mildly with some of the people in my town and otherwise put it to good use through starting up the process for applying to the PGCE and the GTP (different teaching qualifications.
The weather has become, what I would regard as much nicer. It's still reaching high temperatures at mid day mostly, but the start and end of the day are much cooler, which suits me perfectly. it means I can go to sleep without my air-con on. But I do get the feeling that soon my school will confiscate the use of the air-con in my clasroom and likely before it cools down properly during the day.
I have my open class coming up in a couple of weeks, which is basically a sort of evaluation. Most Koreans prepatre immensly for these things, which is funny, because they don't prepare at all for anything else. But I have decided I will not be taking the super worry and preparation route. I will just teach a normal lesson, of course I will prepare, but I always do. I am not going over the top, A because I think it is bullshit and B because I am not returning for another year here so the evaluation will have little bearing on anything.
