Hee. I was in the Ulsan newspaper - colour photo - on Saturday. Why? Because I'm a non-Korean teaching an English Winter Camp through the school board. That's right, photographer and reporter showed up to my class on Friday morning. I was a bit, uh, shocked ...(could someone have warned me, I would have done something about my hair!)
But apparently everyone's pleased, my principal brought me the article today and congratulated me. Like I had anything to do with it! I was actually kind of cheesed about the whole thing, the kids lost their break because we had to do a "Katrina fakes teaching" photo shoot... and that's not really fair to them.
I don't really know what the article says, except that there are three of us waegooks (foreigners) teaching an English Camp and that it's fun and exciting for the kids. Right. I find it ironic that they came to my classroom - I'm teaching grammar and writing. Fun and excitement just oooozes. Well, I'd like to think it does, but I can be a bit delusional.
