I haven't taught a course in ages. I've never taught in an English school. Tomorrow I'm doing both. So... butterflies and not much useful work getting done. There are clothes to select, nails to paint, hair to do...never mind going through slides and working on timings.

Then this happens and my fangirl heart squeals.
Y'all know that Yunho's been in cooperation with Minetani to design some pendants. Now they're out and - apparently - they are dog tags and the story behind it is: Unwavering love even if we’re apart from each other.

Honestly, who needs a writer when you've got this...
Minspiration... just when I needed it most.
Thank you.

It feels weird to get up in the morning and not have a class to teach right now. Then again, my jet lag just about settled so I'm just celebrating functioning like a normal person at the moment. *Giggles*

You'll do fine. Just smile and take in the moment. Make it fun for you and the rest will follow.

As for the HoMin news...

I love teaching, but I've only ever taught adults. Tomorrow I have a class of 20 17-year-old Muslim girls. And it's Ramadan.
(Careful where you put your feet, Jackie!)

But we've been working on this thing since last summer, so I'm really keen to get it out there.
And I'm sure once I get going it will be fine. Maybe I sneak some Changmin pics on my phone for mental refreshment in between sessions....
That "unwavering love" quote needs a story...

Teens. That's right up my alley. Not that I intended that way.
It definitely does. It's a great line. ^^

Well, Muslim or not, they are just girls. Teen girls. You know how to grab their interest. *Winks*

Working on what? Teaching or what your teaching in particular? If you don't mind me probing.

My phone wallpaper was one of Jaejoong's BNT spread photos. All I had to do was swipe and admire. If anyone caught me looking at it, no one thought much of it. *Giggles*

I run an internet marketing business in RL and I'm passionate about the opportunities an online business can give people who struggle with finding traditional employment for whatever reason. Where we are, kids often have superior computer skills, but aren't taught what to do with them in a business setting. So when they go for interview, they have no idea how to show off what they can do for the business. And employers, being most likely my age and not having a real clue about online stuff don't know the right questions to ask.

I was teaching an online business course at the local Further education college for a few years as a sideline before we moved up here. Now a friend and I have designed a course that we can take into secondary schools. And tomorrow is the first time we're rolling it out.

I love doing that. It's just the teenagers and the school setting I'm fussed about.

That sounds great. And incredibly practical. Honestly, I feel that problem is universal. I think it's awesome that your aiming to teach teens about how to promote their skills at an age where they could easily match their how-to with your terminology.

Keep us posted on how it goes, yeah? I'm terribly curious about what their response is like.

...I'm passionate about the opportunities an online business can give people who struggle with finding traditional employment for whatever reason.

I think a lot of people would be benefit from your guidance my dear. A LOT.

Internet marketing business. I remember you mentioning that. Sounds convenient. It probably allows you to work from anywhere with an internet connection. May I ask, what exactly that entails? [Sorry. Curiosity. It gets the best of me. Feel free not to answer.]
