Ding Dong - Thursday Nov. 29, 2007

Whoa! This must be like backwards week, because one of my not so good classes was REALLY good today, and one of my good classes was not good. Strange...

We're doing a Happy Birthday theme lesson this week, so I taught them to shake the present and ask, "What is it?"^^ They liked saying what they were "giving" me and hearing what I was "giving" them. I got a dress, a robot, food, candy, a doll, a lion, a tiger, a toy car, a book, etc. It was pretty darn cute!

After school, I hung out in the first grade office to make some more Christmas stuff. I made red and green bells and snowflakes. There are colored snowflakes to replace the color cubes for their tables, and white snowflakes to decorate near the snowman in my classroom.

At almost 5:00PM, I went upstairs and put the snowman and new decorations up. I didn't leave school until 6:00PM; when I stepped out of my classroom, PITCH BLACK! Not even joking! The security guard comes by every night and when I stay late, he comes in to say hi, says something in Korean, I pretend to understand, and he leaves and shuts the lights off in the hall. LOL! I think he is just telling me to lock up before I leave. I wondered today at what time the school doors are locked, and at what point I am going to be locked in the school for the night.^^

Nobody was home when I got home, so I just hung out until my host fam got back with dinner. They had chicken, and I had tuna rice rolls.

I talked to my host mom for a bit after dinner, and then I just lounged around the house. It still takes me a while to realize that when they talk about their family, they include me! It's a great feeling to have family in Korea! My host mom met Seok Seonsaengnim (the teacher I made kimchi with) and she said, "Oh, you're Stacey's mom." LOL!

Time for bed.
