In case you started to forget (because I almost have), I ammmm still a teacher. The kids came back for about a week, but there were no English classes so I just played games outside with them, got bombarded by the 5th grade fan club during every break, and had the usual daily daycare. Now they’re gone again for spring break until beginning of March. I do not understand the Korean school system at all but I’m just going with the flow and trying to make the most of all my spare time in my office. Once school starts up again on March 2nd I’ll be teaching every day for a solid 5 months, so I better rest up while I can!
Also, I got my hair cut and highlighted again (see picture 5..) I went to the same place as last time with the same stylist, sooo it’s pretty much exactly like last time. I love that place and Miss Kim, who is the only one there brave enough to touch blonde hair. She just pampers me with cappuccinos, fresh OJ, and beautiful Korean magazines. It makes me want to get my hair cut approximately every day.
I can’t stop taking pictures of the daycare kids because they’re always being adorable. We’re getting to a point where we can fully converse, even though we don’t speak the same language. One of them will go on a little Korean tangent, and then I reply in English, and then they reply back in Korean. We have all turned into mind readers.
This afternoon 5 of them dropped by my office and said “Teacher we don’t want to go home yet, can we stay here and play??” (Ok really it was “teacher, go home, no. UNO? pleeease?”) It was the single cutest thing I’ve ever heard. So we just hung out playing UNO and Hide and Seek until I figured they better head home before their parents got worried. I don’t need to be accused of kidnapping kids, like some otherrrr Americans I know. (How were they THAT dumb, by the way? The things people do in the wake of national disasters never ceases to amaze me.) While we’re on the subject… Poor Haiti! My heart hurts.
your hair cut is SO adorable!!! and once again, you are the best teacher ever! they must love you a lot if they want to stay around and not go home! i never had a teacher that cool! hugs and kisses xoxo
Love the hair. Its funny how as a teacher you pretty much have to become a mind reader. At least in Special Ed and English as a second language.
I absolutely love the hair…it’s so short : ] um seems to me you are a pretty awesome lady!! Atleast you let the kids stay and play instead of disappointing them….way to stay the cool teacher haha love you.
