I have about a week and a half left in my contract. I have about a week or two off before my next contract starts and I'm not quite sure what to expect. Currently there are four ALTs (English teachers) in my town. From April there will be two including myself. I don't know my schedule yet, but it seems I will be a lot busier than I am now. I'll probably be going to more schools and will have less free time.
Right now I go to five schools. I spend half my time at a junior high school and split the rest at four elementary schools. From next year (I think) I will go to two different junior high schools, spending one day at each of them. The rest of my time will be split between several elementary schools. It seems that I will only be going to one of the schools I go to now.
Last Friday was my last day at my smallest school. The teachers gave me a picture of me with kids that had little notes from each of them. This week will be my last day at two other schools. I'm not sure if there's anything planned, but I'll find out soon enough.
On Friday there was a post-graduation party for the junior high school. We ate a pretty nice (and very expensive) restaurant. The most notable 'food' there was a semi-live shrimp. To eat it, you had to rip off it's head, strip off the shell, and dip it in boiling water. It moves while you do all of this. I think Ben and Claire can look forward to this in a few months.
