First week of School

Work is work and fairly uneventful in terms of pictures. My students are well-behaved but very weak in English. They don't understand most of what I'm saying so I've had to be very creative when I teach. But we're getting along just fine. I don't go out on the weekday evenings because I would rather take the time to mark, prep, and relax. A lot of my colleagues who are in Taiwan for the first time are going out to other places but then they come back late and work very late into the night and are tired the next morning.

Here's my school and classroom!

Now here's some random photos from my week!

This accursed cookie! I lost a filling because of it.
So annoying now...

Maybe there will be more exciting happenings next weekend. This weekend was really hot and humid and it was hard to be outside for extended periods of time.
