I taught three classes today instead of the usual two...again because of the schedule change. It was fun though! We're making a "storm" with random objects. I have a gong for thunder, left over laminated scraps for wind, and boxes of paper clips for rain. I'm also teaching about the seasons, so I brought in a bunch of different clothing to teach what clothing you wear in what seasons. So, I put each piece of clothing on as we talked about it; the kids thought it was hilarious.
I had to run home after the three classes before lunch to get an envelope for the English teacher who shares my classroom. She wanted an "American" envelope for English practice on Saturday. They're having three elementary schools to our school on Saturday. I don't completely understand, but that's okay...I usually don't. ;)
After lunch, I hung out with the first grade teachers until I had to go shopping with Hae Yeon; she was getting new fruit for the English Zone and I said I would go with her. We went to a cheap store downtown. I also bought quite a bit for Christmas. When we got back, I decorated a 2,000 Won ($2) Christmas tree that I bought and hung up Santa's bag with toys coming out of it on the wall. I love decorating!!
I then went back downstairs to visit with the second grade teachers; we ate kimbap and lakboki (ramen and ddeokboki). I finally headed home around 5:30PM.
I met Lauren at 8:00PM at Lotte Cinema. I asked her to come to the Wonju English Club meeting tonight. The topic tonight was New Year's Resolutions. The topic didn't last very long; we ended up talking about randomness for about 30 minutes after the topic ran out. There were many new members today; another foreigner named Thabo was new as well. He is also from South Africa (like Ashlie), and he has only been in Korea for two weeks. I was amazed! Two weeks! That's so fresh! I was excited for him!
Afterward we went to the Makkoli bar and talked more. They were amazed that Lauren speaks Korean. LOL! Usually I can drink Makkoli just fine, but I was definitely feeling it tonight. I think it was, because I am still have a cold. I know, I know...I shouldn't have been drinking then.
My cough has been really bad in the mornings but settles down throughout the day. I hope I get over it soon.
Anyway, Lauren and I got a ride home with Kevin around 12:30AM. Lauren was worried about her host family being angry, but they weren't even home. Lucky break!
