Well it’s freezing here lately. Absolutely Baltic (as us Scots would say). My poor fiance is working outside in the afternoons in temperatures approaching -20C! I am lucky enough to be indoors with heating, and a hot pack in my pocket, but I got a blast of the icy cold wind in my face when I walked to Subway. It’s expected to be like this at least into next week and, although I prefer it to the endlessly hot Korean summer, I do wish it would get a touch less cold.

The semester has almost come to an end. That means my little students will soon graduate kindergarten. Add in school reports and the fact that we change franchise to YBM ECC in March and it means a busy couple of months. This next week I probably won’t be around much because my short term goal is to get the report cards out of the way. I nervous about the franchise change as there will be so many new books to get used to. I suppose it’s still teaching ESL so it can’t be very different.
