For a while today, I wasn't sure if I was going to have any classes. Usually on Fridays, I only have two classes: one puppet class, and one actual class. My puppet class was canceled; they went on a field trip somewhere I think. My 2-7 class showed up a little late, but I had just had them the day before as well because of schedule changes. The poor teacher seemed a little confused about whether or not she was supposed to be there. I love the 2-7 teacher; she is so sweet!
After lunch, I went down to the first grade office. I spent about an hour and 1/2 just talking to the teachers down there. Both of them speak a little bit of English, so we were going back and forth in English and Korea. I taught them some new words like snooping and sneaky, which of course I acted out!^^ I was making a "Hello" sign, and it looks like I need to make a few more. Both of the teachers I was talking to asked for one. I know I've said it before, but I really like the first grade teachers!! They're so easy to just hang out with.
I headed to Julie's for tutoring at 4:00PM. We didn't study for an incredible amount of time; we were talking for a lot of it. We ordered 자장면 (Jajangmyeon - Chinese noodles) for dinner, and then took a taxi to meet some of the Wonju English Club members. We carpooled to Munmak for Kata's art show opening. We got lost on the way, because it was back in BFE. We figured it out though and got there around 8:30PM. It was interesting art...different than I expected. It was solely based off the living style of nomadic people. I didn't completely understand some of her work, but it was an interesting experience. My Korean friends kept asking me if I understood what the art was about; I don't know if that is because they didn't understand or if they were just worried that I wouldn't.^^
We drove to another art museum-esque building nearer to downtown which doubled as a bar/coffee shop. We were at two tables; my table ordered a bottle of Australian wine. Yummy! We sat around and talked for a while and then headed back to Wonju. The car I was in had Kingcandle, Su, Julie, another girl, and me. We headed to our usual Makkoli restaurant, drank some bamboo soju, and ate anju (food that has to be ordered when ordering alcohol.) I was getting a little cranky, because I was SO tired! I was tired all day, but I was ready to go home. I hate when you can tell you're getting cranky, but you're not quite sure what to do about it!^^ I just decided that I would take a taxi home, and another girl shared the taxi with me. I got home around 1:30AM.
Oh, also, Julie and I ended up calling Howl twice yesterday. The first time was at her apartment when I asked him why he wasn't going to the art show. Apparently he part time tutors, sometimes on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! Yuck! So, we decided that Julie, Jia, him, and I would get together next Thursday. Julie called him again when we were at the second bar back in Wonju, and she made me talk to him. We wanted him to come out, but he like me, was very tired. I told him that I understood and that I would talk to him later. Then the phone somehow managed to be passed around to the other 3 people sitting there, and Howl talked to everyone! LOL! Julie kept saying that I really wanted him to come to the bar. She acts so young, but I believe she is at least 30. She doesn't look it AT ALL! I was made to play the guessing game last night about ages; I HATE playing that game! People get offended if you guess too high and sometimes people get offended if you guess too low in Korea. So, it's like a no-win situation. Anyway, I know one of the girls is 30, and she kept calling Julie 언니 (Eonni - older sister). So this is why I believe Julie is over 30. Ah...the power of deduction.
