I finished my first full week of teaching! This week I was subbing for one of the teachers at Walton School, where Dan and Anth work. I had a kindergarten class in the mornings (4-5 year olds), and 7 year olds in the afternoon. Then I had another class at a buxiban, which is where many kids go after school - sometimes until 9pm at night! My class there was a mix of 9-13 year olds. Teaching takes a lot of energy but I really like it. Luckily, most of our teaching materials are provided but Im looking forward to the long term sub I'll be doing next week because I will have a chance to prepare for my lessons ahead of time.
Starting Wednesday for a week I'll be subbing for Anthony while he goes on a road trip with his friend Ryan who's visiting. Dan and I are planing on taking the train to meet them in Taroko next weekend. So I have Monday and Tuesday off this week which will be nice :)
When Anthony returns I will be subbing for another teacher here for about four weeks, which Im looking forward to because I will hopefully be able to do more with my classes (and actually learn all the kid's names!). When I finish subbing Im going to travel for about five weeks until my flight back to the states. I am really excited to start traveling. I found a cheap flight to Malaysia so I'll start there and then travel around to the surrounding countries.
I have almost completely recovered from my sea urchin injury. Yesterday I pulled a spine out of my foot that was more than an inch long! I had no idea how big it was but there are only a few pieces left in my foot and I can walk pretty well now. Im looking forward to running on the bike path at Lotus Pond when my foot is completely healed.
