Useless

Not to say that I'm completely useless or anything... but... It is winter vacation for the students. It is also time for winter English camp. Now, working at a school of underachievers, no one has signed up for winter camp. I don't blame them. Do you want to spend your vacation learning English when you get no credit or benefit from taking the camp? I wouldn't. Plus, it's cold at school! Well, instead of letting me stay home, which would be the nice thing to do, I have to come into school each day for about 2 hours. Just long enough to write a few emails, and read some stuff out loud for the remedial English courses that are being taught right now to the kids who scored poorly on their exams. Yesterday I read things to one class. Then went to lunch with the teachers. Then I went home and napped. All done by 1pm. Today I didn't even get picked up until 9:30, instead of my usual 7:30. This is so pointless, but at least it isn't demanding. They haven't demanded that I spend my time researching or writing things. Eventually I will work on some lesson plans, but until then, I'm just hanging out and going with the flow.
