(We’re still alive and) I’m an…ecology and evolution teacher?

Yes, that’s right. We found out our classes today and among two non-native English classes, one writing class, and one history, I’m also teaching a section of ecology and evolution, which I’m pretty excited about. Here we come natural history museum. All of the classes are for ninth graders too, my first choice.

Cole has two native 9th grade English classes, a 9th grade writing, and a twelfth grade history…hmmm, a bit lighter than my schedule. Still, getting my classes has put me into work mode. It’s been awhile since I’ve done anything productive besides wandering around the world, so I’m ready to put in some effort into this teaching gig. Watch out kiddies…

Normally, I would have more descriptive paragraphs, and I really do have to tell you about this Shanghai area we’re in. It’s not at all what I expected; kinda crazy, but not in a bad way, and probably not crazier than any other part of China. I can’t get into all that yet because at any moment I could be firewalled out of wordpress again.

Both cole and I will be starting new blogspot blogs soon. There, we’ll have a thorough account of our first shanghai impressions, and the long awaited Japan roundup with Hiroshima and Kyoto. Lots of fun videos still to post.

So, once we have those up and running, I’ll link them here and send out a few emails.
