Teaching went well today. The kids seem to really enjoy learning sign language. I need to figure out how to incorporate it into the rest of the semester.
After school, I had tutoring. I was so exhausted that I took a nap before 희 (my co-teacher Hee) came to get me for the orphanage, 성애원 (Seongeweon). I have been wanting to volunteer at an orphanage for a long time, and we finally got it set up. I was worried that all I would be allowed to do is teach English. Instead, it is okay if I just hang out with the children. I will teach them English, but not in any formal manner. I will start not this next Monday, but the Monday afterward. Since I have a conference this weekend, I don't know what time I'll be back on Monday. I got to visit the children. It's a really nice place, and much fewer children than I expected. I will visit from 3:30PM-5:00PM every Monday. I'm really excited!! The children are quite adorable, and the place seems very comfy!^^
After visiting the orphanage, 희 and I went out to eat together. We went to a really cute, older restaurant. We ate 만두국 (Manduguk - Dumpling Soup) and a Korean pancake-type food. She and I had a really good conversation; we talked about relationships, school, the future, traveling, etc. I'm really glad I got the chance to spend time with her. She is pregnant and due in early May. I LOVE BABIES!! Since she is transferring schools in March, I told her that she has to make sure to come visit me, and I will do the same.
I was watching tv online tonight, and my computer started doing some CRAZY stuff! Basically a virus decided to travel right on into my computer system. I talked to a few friends at home, and they had me download some stuff to try to get rid of it. We'll see if it works!
