Final Days at School

Today was my (H) last day of teaching at my boys' school. I will go in on August 24th to say an official goodbye, but I'm finished teaching there now. I passed around a memories journal and most of the students wrote me cute messages. I was also surprised and touched to receive gifts from various teachers and staff. Tomorrow I go to my rural school one last time and then I'm on vacation until August 24th. There's a new rule in place for all people returning from overseas where you aren't allowed to return to your workplace until 7 days after being back in Korea. This is due to swine-flu fears. So, instead of my last day being the 20th, I'll have to wait until the 24th to say one last goodbye. B has one week of conversation classes so he finishes the day b4 his birthday, which is July 25th.

My farewell din at my boys school (I'm giving a speech in Korean).

Farewell at rural school.

An assortment of nice gifts from my co-workers & students.

I dog-sat for a friend on Sunday. Chomps was quite the trooper.
