Hello everyone,
It has been a long time since I have updated, but since I brought my two students into the computer lab, I have some free time now to update. I got a job at Ivy Collegiate Academy in Taichung, which is in the middle of the country. It is a boarding school for grades 7-12. I live on the second floor with the upper school boys. I have two bedrooms, 3 toilets, 3 showers, 3 sinks, 2 twin size beds pushed together, a mini-fridge, a tv, and a dvd player all for myself. I get 3 free meals a day and access to all of the school's things. It sounds pretty good right? Not really, the school is in the middle of nowhere and I do not have a scooter. A taxi ride is 10 dollars to the nearest town with things to do, so I pretty much stay inside and play ping pong with the students. Also, rotating between 2 other teachers I have to make sure all the kids go to sleep, go to their meals, and that they clean up their rooms, etc. It is seriously a 24/7 job. As of know I teach a health and fitness class 3 days a week, a gym class 2 times a week, a grade 8 esl job 5 days a week that only has 2 students in it, and a esl 7th grade class 5 days a week with only 1 student in it. Besides that, I am coaching the jv basketball team. There is an a team and a b team, so I have two teams. The boys had two games each so a total of 4 games and we are still undefeated. The boys b team beat the other team 64 to 17, they were like throwing up three's with their eyes closed and making them, it was crazy. Anyways I am just working crazily and that is about it.
