I have officially decided that I loathe Mondays at school! The very first class that I have on the very first day of the week is horrible...literally my worst class. It makes for a very long day. I just told them to sit there after a while, because they would NOT stop talking. So we sat in silence for about 2 minutes. They didn't get very far on their crafts either, because we had less time due to me having to tell them to get quiet. I asked 1-1 teacher to help me with them. I'm going to ask if she has any suggestions, but we'll see how it goes next week.
1-2 teacher didn't come to the English Village today, because she is preparing for her open class. 1-3 class was noisier than usual.
Usually the redeemer of Mondays is going to the orphanage to hang with the cool little kids, but unfortunately, it was canceled today because the workers at the orphanage had a workshop of some sort. I guess I didn't look as peppy as I usually do, because when I went down to the first grade office 1-1 teacher told 1-5 and 1-7 to talk to me and make me happy.^^ LOL! We talked for a while. I explained about the Vagina Monologues and VDay. We briefly talked about comfort women, and I could see the genuine hurt on their faces about that part of their history. It is difficult to explain VDay and V-logues, because most Koreans are still incredibly conservative; though many Americans can't really handle the concept of V-logues either. I explained it as women trying to become equal to men and trying to stop violence against women. They said that it is an important thing to have in Korea.
I stayed at school until 5:30PM just trying to get some stuff done. My brain is becoming overwhelmed with how many things I need to get done!
I ate dinner with my host sibs when I got home, and then we watched The Simpsons movie. We've watched it once, but they really like it. "Spider pig...spider pig." Best line in the whole movie! My host rents came home a little later, and apparently they went out for a late night walk around 11:00PM. I was already asleep; I fell asleep at 9:30PM. I was so tired!
I got a text from Lauren around 10:45PM telling me to look out my window, it was snowing. The first snow!
