What a Fall

I won't say this summer was bad, because it wasn't THAT bad at all. It was just uneventful. There were no long weekends, no trips, lots of school and record heat in Daegu (41 and 60% humidity). There was also the fact that so many people were leaving and it had me pondering my own future, which was both good and bad.

Now it is the fall and what a fall to get excited about.

First off, I work two full weeks in the next two months.

My boss emailed me to tell me I had two vacation days left and it was use 'em or lose 'em (by lose I mean time and a half pay for two days). So I have next Friday and Mon Oct. 21st off.

Next week is a four day week.
Week after is middle school test prep and Chuseok, I will teach six classes and have a five day weekend.
Next week is middle school prep week, so I work 2-4 classes a day.
Then my Mom is here and we are in Japan and Busan. No work
The second week she is here I have two days off as well.
Then two weeks regular.
Then a Monday off. Then it is November.

(did I mention I will go to Hong Kong for 5 days in December for Mike's 30th? It is being paid for mostly by my $1000 resigning bonus.)

Yup, this fall.

I am breaking the bank a bit with this fall (I am paying for school as well) but it is well worth it. My mom will get to see Asia, I will go to Kyoto and back to Hong Kong (my love affair with that city is the subject of another blog) and the weather is mid-high 20's and the humidity is way down.

This fall.
