So- a nice peaceful weekend has begun here in Gapyeong. Most all of the staff and teachers have left for the weekend. There are only 4 or 5 of us still on campus. I really don't mind though as it is nice to have peace and quiet. The clouds have finally burned off and it is sunny again. It was a pretty rainy week this week. I generally don't mind rain during the week, but I really appreciate a sunny weekend.
The girls school left on Friday, and they were honestly sad to leave. They are so funny on Fridays because they start requesting our "autographs" and asking for our emails and phone numbers. It is so odd to be such a celebrity. In the end, I think they had a good time. The same school is sending the second set of girls next week- so we are all assuming they will be at the same level. (LOW)
We did have the big performance on Thursday night of club activities. Mine was the music club, where the girls performed a "pop song". They chose a song called "I have a dream" by a group called Westlife. They all were excited to sign up for the club, until they realized that they would actually have to sing in front of their peers. Then it was total panic. They did get up there and perform, although they sang along with the track and not by themselves. There were 3 drama clubs, a dance club, a "broadcasting" club and an animation club. I hope each week we can refine and make things a little better as far as the performance goes.
I hope you had a chance to check out the website. I have been told that an English version of the PR film will be available soon. So I will let you know.
Not much else to report. We did have another teacher trainer arrive today. His name is Stanley and he is from Toronto. It is weird having someone join us three months into the process. However, he is lucky in that he will be able to dive right into things instead of waiting around for construction. Also- he has us to show him the few ropes we have learned.
Thanks to everyone who emailed this week. They are truly the brightest spots of my day!
Take care!
