I woke up feeling congested and flu-ey. And then, looking at the local weather online, I saw why: 황사 [hwang-sa = yellow dust] - Seoul's spring scourge, fresh from the Gobi Desert. See the cute, yellowish, disgusting cloud icon, at left?
The sky definitely has a yellowish cast to it. I closed my window.
Today is my first day of actual teaching, at my new job. I will have middle-schoolers - I haven't taught middle schoolers since I was at LinguaForum, in 2008. I remember that my success with this age group was much less of a sure thing than with the elementary students - so I feel some anxiety, I suppose.
