We Made it (to Fall Break)

Well, It's been two full months of teaching the kiddos and we finally made it to our first vacation of the year. The students were dismissed yesterday, Friday, and will not return to school until 6 p.m. on Tuesday. I cannot even imagine what it will feel like not seeing the students every day. Somehow I don't think that four days away from them will make me miss them however!

Now that fall break has arrived, I feel like it's all downhill from him (until March or so at least). When we come back from break I teach two weeks (only one full since it's only Wednesday through Friday) and then the third week I'm taking four 7th graders to China for a Math Olympiad contest on Thursday and Friday. Then it's only four weeks until Christmas break!

So since this is our first real break of the year, some of the other teachers and I decided we wanted to get the heck out of dodge. We're hopping on a train in an hour or so to Tainan to spend the long weekend. It's the old capital of Taiwan and supposedly has some pretty cool stuff to see so look forward to some pictures next week!
