RAVING/HAPPY SH!T MEGATHREAD

My kids are canceling classes in order to self-study for midterms next week (high school).  I walked into a class and they were 50/50 on studying vs. having a lesson with me, and then when I said goodbye they all shouted, "Nooooooo!" and, "I love you!"  and, "I will miss you NomadicMadda teacher!!!!!!"

I've been having a shit day, but it made me smile.

Haha, that's exactly what happened with my middle schoolers.

My coteacher is bored and was saying how she wants to go home (it has been a pretty boring afternoon) so I joked and said that I promise I won't tell anyone if she leaves early. She says, "I think nobody will ask you." Ha! Fair enough. I'm glad I have easygoing coteachers that I can joke around with.

Two classes cancelled today!!!! Grade 5's are going on a picnic today, despite it pouring with rain  .

My co-teacher gave me some beautiful earrings for my birthday  .  No classes today  .  Even my teacher class was canceled  .

Midterms this week, 4 day weekend next week and lots of field trips and random days off to come within the next month. What a good day of news 

I'm amused at the fact that the majority of the raving/happy shit teachers here post (including myself) are about when classes are cancelled   

I just experienced my first "thank you for telling me last minute that classes are cancelled" experience and I got to say, I kind of like it. 

Now with two classes canceled I can sit back, watch some travel videos to inspire where I shall take my first vacation.

Because of all the holidays/Sports Day/School Birthdays coming up, I have all my lesson plans done for the next 3 weeks.

BOOM!!

....time to figure out something else productive to do.

...so I just took a nap...

My school now has green white board markers. This is amazing, omg the things I can do. the possibilities are nearly endless...

My wife is also on vacation. Last night I got to sleep starfished on my own bed for the first time in something like 5 years.... it was truly and utterly amazing. Being single had some perks.

...just took a nap...

Oooh. Nice. Clever linkies!

*breathe

I like simple pleasures.  It is spring.  It is raining.  The air is clear.  I can breath deeply.

Couldn't agree with you more here. Coming from the Pacific Northwest this environment is a complete 180 for me! 

Getting my license in Korea was super easy (taking all the actual tests) and now riding a motorcycle around is SICK

Make sure you register it. They seized mine. 


(Edit to make post fit topic) ...which is awesome because I totally would have killed myself by now in some horrendous accident zipping about as I was! 

The level of dust is pretty low and it's cool out; I'm going for a long run after work. Gonna blast some music, work up a sweat, it'll be great!

I've gotten myself a new job.  After 7 years in Korea, it seems that we'll be parting ways come this summer. 

5 DAY WEEKEND NEXT WEEK!!! WHOOOOO
