rabbit rabbit from korea!

My weeks keep going by faster and faster. Time flies in Korea!

I am slowly but surely getting better at teaching. I have developed new games, new disciplinary acts, and becoming better at thinking on my toes. With Kindergarten I always find some artsy, crafty work for them to do. Coloring and cutting takes them quite a bit of time. Today we made our own flash cards. I printed off letters E-P and had Alice and Brian color and cut them. We played a matching game and then I taped the cards all over the room and had them race to the letters I called out. Alice got angry because she wasn't winning so to spice up the game I taped the cards all over my body, including my face and instantly she started to play again. I kept forgetting which cards were on my face so I might have a slight black eye by little hands smacking my face unexpectedly.

Cinderella, my boss, yes that is her name, cooks lunch every day for Hanna teacher and I, and the four kindie kids. I always cross my fingers that it is something good. It usually is, but there is always one weird thing on the plate that I force my self to choke down. Today it was squid. And I still can not get use to kimchi. That is an acquired taste that I don't think I will ever acquire.

I have adopted three fish from my friend Laura who is heading back to the states. They make the apartment a little more homey and not so lonely. Let's hope they don't end up like Arnold the hamster. RIP little Arnie.

Tonight I chased an Ajuma (an older Korean lady) through the subway because it was almost twelve and I thought she was running to the last train coming for the night. The train did not come for about 20 minutes. I should have known. Ajuma's always run and are always in a hurry. They do not care if they push, elbow, or close line you into on coming traffic.

I received a birthday package from Danielle this week so the address works! She sent me an awesome shirt with the outline of South Korea and inside it says "South Korea has Seoul" I died laughing. Also, got a call from Taylor finallyyyy. Two weeks is much too long with no contact. I told him to dig a hole and stay there till it is time to come home so I assume he was just chillin' in there. Video chatted with Mr. Evan and chatted with Mindy Maes tonight. Missing my friends and family but loving every second in this beautiful country.
