Saying farewell to teaching…for now

This week is my last week of teaching lessons. Come noon on Thursday, I’ll be retiring my chalk. Come Thursday a week from now, post exams, I’ll also be retiring my red pen. I have truly loved most moments in the classroom, and have been spoiled rotten by the respect and hard work of Chinese students. They laugh at my corny jokes, tell me I’m beautiful on a regular basis, and generally bring joy to my daily life. I’m going to miss the Chinese classroom. I will not, however, miss the slate chalkboards and constant coating of chalk dust on all my things. Enjoy this peek into my last week of lessons!
