Technically this wasn't my first day of school (that would be Wednesday), and it wasn't my first experience in the school (I was here on Friday and again on Saturday to get online), but today was my first school experience where all the kids were here.
Let's just say it was interesting! To say I stick out with my light complexion, blonde hair and blue eyes would be a bit of an understatement. The students are very excited to see me, especially the girls (I'm heard enough, ooo hansome for quite some time).
But for the most part it's been a good day. I had my medical checkup, got my T-money transportation card and had my first school lunch (it was quite good). I also met the principal and vice principal. Those were interesting meetings because neither spoke more than a lick of English. The meeting with the principal was rather uncomfortable because he spoke to my co-teacher and head teacher in Korean about who knows what, most of which was not directed to me.
The rest of the day was much more comfortable as I surfed the web, caught up on email and the like.
