Yes, it is my last night of freedom before it is back to school. Actually, I am looking forward to it. I have a collection of great students for another year, and it always is a good thing to make new starts.
Of course, my first week at school will be a little odd. All the math and science and English teachers have their own thing going. Yet I teach Business and Marketing, so even in a school of 1600 students, my department consists of the department head (who teaches accounting and office procedures)and another teacher who teaches economics and a little marketing. I'm not sure the rest really know what I do.
Any way, I have far more boxes of stuff to take the school in only one trip, so I am organizing it to bring what I need first (office supplies, planners and the like) then bring my books and posters and whatever else over the next few days.

Salverston?
Who am I?
Well, my real name is Richard Evans, a 48-year-old teacher living and working in Guayaquil, Ecuador. My somewhat farcical pen name is Salverston J. Saddlebelly, Esq, something I concocted decades ago while in high school and have used it for all things odd and amusing. Me? In South America teaching Ecuadorians? That can be about as amusing as it can get.
While I backed into teaching, my wife has been one of those amazingly solid folks who have magically dedicated to helping the next generation (and the next, and the next) get a smart foot as they step out ahead to their future. She has been teaching English and Spanish for almost 30 years. Myself, I was originally a journalist, then an Army guy, then got into business. Then figured that my wife was setting a wonderful example so I've made my fourth career change.
While my degree is in Social Studies, right now I am teaching Business and Marketing at a private college prep school.
This blog is here to explore the wonders of international teaching, and travel throughout the world.
