And then there were three...

...three days a' teachin' that is.

Around noon today I received a call from my boss, Shelly Ke (pronounced 'kuh'), saying that my Tuesday evening class has been made into a Monday evening class. So next Monday I teach three classes for the first time (two in the morning at Oujiang College, one in the evening at the Foreign Language College), and from here on out I have Saturday-Sunday and Tuesday-Wednesday to explore Wenzhou and learn Chinese. (...and plan my lessons I know, let me enjoy the moment).

Today I did work on reformatting my first lesson and got a few possibilities lined up for what I might teach on Thursday and Friday, but I don't want the students to get too far ahead of the others, so I think I'll revisit some of the things they asked to learn about last week and in the meantime I'll treat them to some classic Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons - I knew it was a good idea to bring those.

I spent the afternoon in the office next door to mine talking with a colleague, "Faye" who got a master's degree in translation from Leeds College in Cambridge, UK (this is her first year as a teacher too). She helped me find this professional translator's site where they also have jobs for voice-overs, so I'm looking into it now to see what opportunities there are in that regard - who knows someday I might have a career, or at least a part-time job, in voice-acting or narrating (...awesome).

Regrettably I didn't go to the Wushu gym at 4:00 like I intended, so I'll do it on Thursday and until then just do a bit of practice on my own.
