First day of camp yesterday - and it went surprisingly well. I feel I have finally honed the camp down to the bare essentials, and it's what it needs to be, and the kids were great, except for the complaining about not wanting to pop balloons because 'teacher, it's scary!'. Sigh, kids. but cute kids who are mostly happy to be at camp. And that in itself is surprising. Day two should be just as good.Best part: 3 days of camp, weekend, 2 days of camp, finished! Some may say they would prefer to get it over with in one go, but I like the break and the feeling of two short weeks. Other good part: Co-T was perhaps the best she has been all year, supportive, not intrusive, letting me lead and stepping in only when needed and just simply being helpful. Finally!!
Camp's done. It was probably the best camp I've had in the four and a half years I've been here. To make things even better, my school says I can "work from home" instead of deskwarming, so I'm going to have a nice, loooooon summer break.

Due to the fact there's a Korean on Seattle's baseball team, I'm able to watch a live Cubs game. I don't watch a lot of baseball on tv but having Korean players on teams other than the Dodgers makes watching MLB games I do catch much more enjoyable.
Just 6 more teaching days left in Korea and 2 more desk warming days! Then I'm out
