Teacher's Day 5.15

To be totally honest, I can hardly wait for Tuesdays and Thursdays to end. One class I have is just dreadful! It's a one on one class, a nice boy but at the end of the day, a one hour class with him is the last thing I want to do and it kinda makes me look forward to getting home and having a glass of wine. With that being said, I have to admit that's what I did tonight but not before going to another class first. I have 4 classes with a kid this week only, and he's preparing for a test to enter a foreign school. Pretty easy stuff knowing I won't be seeing him again so no pressure.
On the other hand, I have a great class on the other days and this girl joined about a month ago. She is polite, smart and just adorable! All the other students are too but she's just got that extra cuteness in her.
Today was Teacher's Day and one thing I've noticed here compared to Ulsan is that it is not that big of a deal here anymore, not sure if it ever was actually. I remember my first Teacher's Day in Ulsan though and all the gifts I got, the socks, handkerchiefs, handwritten cards and rice cakes. Not that I need all those things but very few students said anything about it. I think part of it has to do with is that it is Family month, Children's Day, Parent's Day, and Buddha's Birthday all in the same week and then a few days later is Teacher's Day. Oh well, for all those times I feel unappreciated, there are students like this that make it all worthwhile!
