the beginning of the end

yesterday marked the beginning of the end of my vacation. we had our workshop meeting before starting classes next week. the 3 hour meeting could have been condensed into 30 minutes and not wasted my whole afternoon........but such is the way of korean meetings. it was nice to see everyone and get details of how co-teachers and friends spent their vacations. it'll take a few days/classes to get into the swing of things but after only 3 1/2 to 4 months teaching, i'll be on another 2 month vacation. i should have done this a long time ago!!!
