Slice of Life Challenge Day #22
As the teachers were anxiously counting down the minutes left until spring break starts, there was a sense of anticipation in the air. Once my students had left and I was left alone in the classroom, I did not feel as relieved as I should. I still had a lot of work to get done. Work that I didn’t want to think about during the vacation.
I needed to finish my lesson plans for the following week and try to organize my thoughts and prepare for a few new units coming up. Originally, I thought I could leave right after school ends. Unfortunately, there always seems to be tasks that come up at the end of the school day. Two hours later, I got to pack up my things and finally leave school. I packed a few teacher books, some student work and a children’s book I’m hoping to read over break. I realize that I am probably being over ambitious considering I will be in Vietnam for most of my break. 2 more days until I leave for Hanoi! Hopefully I’ll be able to slice from there. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Anyone else doing something exciting for their spring break? 🙂
Love Vietnam – enjoy! I felt myself connecting to your experiences – waiting in anticipation for the break, waiting for the last minutes of the day … and then the realization that there is still work to do (or we take it home!) Here’s wishing you a relaxing and rejuvenating break (although those might not be the right word for Vietnam) – perhaps enlightening and enjoyable!

Enjoy!
Nothing as exciting as your trip! Enjoy and fingers crossed you will slice too! I stayed an extra two hours after school today as well. Just to get reorganized and ready for our return in a week. I was not going to bring a bag home, but ended up throwing in some prof. reads and a stack of papers to review and organize. I just couldn’t leave it behind! Happy and safe travels!
Jee Young,
Sooo much to do!! I’ll be in camb
bodia. Trying to reply on an iPhone and suddenly asked to login. Enjoy your travels. I was trying to explain to family and friends back home that this break doesn’t feel as triumphant in the tropics. You don’t feel like you’re emerging from a wintry cocoon in the same way somehow. Take care!
Have a great time in Hanoi! Take loads of pics to share with us! My spring break is next week. I remember last spring break I was in Seoul, where I met you. 🙂 This time I’m off to Cairo!!
Enjoy Hanoi, it was an interesting city. Will you have a chance to get out of Hanoi? Halong Bay is so cool! The best part of my time in Vietnam.
