Summer Camp

This has been my first week of "English Camp". I teach about 15 students, mostly girls, from 1-3 in the afternoon. My theme has loosely been the Olympics. I really would have preferred to do random things all week but the school wanted a general outline and theme months ago so I am kind of stuck with it. I had the students create their own countries as team names, here's what they came up with:

Friendland

Rainbowland and

Unicornland.

Like I said, mostly girls haha.

Teaching these small classes is a really nice change of pace. It's pretty easy to keep order, especially with only 2 boys.

My B day is this weekend and it looks like Korea knew it was coming. There's a free rock festival at one of the beaches and there will actually be a band that I know and like there, Shadows Fall. Some of their songs chuff me a bit. Also there's a Foreigner dingy sailing race. I might attend but I won't be racing. To me racing ruins sailing. If I wanted to race I'd be out there in a Hallet with a blown 502 haha. I feel like sailing should be chill and stress free.

Shadows Fall:



This is definitely not everyone's bag, but the solos are awesome!!! Here's a band FOIL to contrast the previous:

Andy Mckee, the Eddie Van Halen of Acoustic



You really have to watch him to appreciate how difficult his music is to play.

Well, time to prep an Extreme Sports injury lesson!!!
