Some days are fabulous at work, and other, well not so much. Although I really can't complain this semester as I'm mostly teaching 3rd and 4th year English majors who are reasonably good at English and usually do their homework, etc. Today was one of those really fabulous days. Even though Friday is my day off, I got asked to do some overtime preparing students for an overseas internship in the USA. Motivated students/fluent-ish in English/small groups/ high pay/ interview preparation/ business English. Yes, I will most definitely work on my day off.
And then after 3 hours doing that, I have a little "News Club" in my school's Global Zone, which basically means that I choose a current events topic or article and discuss it with 4-8 students for 1.5 hours. An interesting topic of my choice (I use Breaking News English), mostly International Trade/Economics/ law/accounting majors who actually have opinions about things and are good at English? Yes, I will most certainly do that one too! I'm thankful to have such good students, especially since I spent a lot of years talking weather and hobbies and family at a very basic level.
