Yesterday (Wednesday) was my only day of work this week, because Thursday and Friday are holidays, for Golden Week, etc. Ah, it is nice to have six days off soon after the new semester begins!
Yesterday I had my first period graduate school class with my super PhD student talking about various things (SF, fantasy, a paper she's revising on Neil Gaiman's American Gods, etc.), and my third period Introduction to American Culture and Literature class (I have been happy with the majority of the students' responsiveness in class but disappointed by their lack of participation in our class website and blog, so I gave 'em a surprise quiz at the end of class, so now I have to read 120 quiz papers and decide how to score/grade them etc....), and my fourth period Freshman English conversation-like class (there is a wide range of ability and seriousness in the class, from a few students who don't understand anything and have trouble saying anything in English to students who've spent three months homestaying and English learning in Canada, but I like all the kids a lot)... Anyway, this Golden Week is necessary and will be over too soon! And then we'll have hard constant going till the summer break in early August.
