Well my first semester as a university teacher is coming to an end. I have a few more exams to proctor and grade, but I should be all done by next Monday or Tuesday. I have to proctor exams for other classes after that, but all it involves is watching a room of Chinese students write an exam. The grading is left to other teachers.
It has been a good first semester. I certainly learned a lot, both about working at a university and China in general. That being said, I now appreciate why teachers get 6-8 week breaks. I have worked seven days a week since October, and that is working with adults. I couldn't imagine having to do this job and having parents to deal with as well.
I will have my grading finished by early next week and should have it all submitted in good time. I'll then collect my pay and head off to Manila and the Philippines for a few weeks.
