Summer School

sunny 34 °C

The school hosts a Summer School each summer. Summer School this year was to run for 12 days from 14 July 08 - 25 July 08.

There were 2 classes and 3 foreign teachers assigned to each class which ultimately meant that we had to teach every third day. Class went from 8.30 - 12.00 & 2.30 - 4.30 with a 10 minute break every hour. Most I've worked in any given day since I've been here!

I had Junior middle school students. These students are aged between 12 - 16. I had 16 students. They were a delight. I enjoyed my classes.

Being that it's summer and I was wearing sleeveless tops, testosterone boys saw my biceps. This will make Trina laugh because they had a similar reaction, to what Trina did, and couldn't believe my muscles. However Trina never challenged me to an arm wrestle - thank god. I had to explain to these boys that it was not lady like to have arm wrestles!

I survived the 12 days although under great pressure without an arm wrestle!
