Winter 12' Camp Starts

It's that time again of the year when 100's of middle school students invade the campus while they attend the 10th Murray Camp.

This camp is designed to give disadvantaged students in Gangwon-do Province (those who live in rural areas)a chance to receive some English lessons and to experience what it might be like to attend university here.

For me this camp represents my last teaching stint in Korea and a bit of extra cash.

Over the years I've spent so much time in the classroom with adults that I usually find it difficult adjusting to working with younger students. Yesterday we leveled students and when many can't answer questions like "what is your name?", then you know as a teacher you're gonna have your work cut out.

This is my fifth Murray Camp so nothing should surprise me but you never know.

I'm meant to be teaching the advanced students but I won't believe that until I check my class this morning.

This camp is also shorter than normal (8 days instead of 7) but to be honest, all I really wanna do is get to Manila and help Wheng with our wedding preparations.
