The Upside of Public School

So my last few days at work have been pretty great! A couple weeks ago, I heard that the teachers had planned a hiking trip with dinner on Friday, 10/29. I already had plans for dinner (and wanted to get ready for Halloween^^) so I couldn't make it; I was told in that case I could just leave school at 2 pm Friday with the other teachers. Then on Thursday before Halloween, I got the news that we would have Monday, Nov. 1st off from work since it's my school's Foundation Day! Happy Halloween indeed.

In addition, upon returning to work Tuesday we found out Wednesday and Thursday this week would be rehearsal days for some sort of school festival coming up. So the students are running about the halls, in and out of the auditorium, practicing their routines and how to sit and all that. I was told I'd be helping to herd them around and keep them in line during this time, but haven't left my warm chair yet :) I do love this place sometimes! It makes up for all the extra B.S. of being the only (or one of only 2) native English speakers in the whole school, or the times I hear my friends complain about their co-teachers (I've been very lucky in that respect as well, though).
