Life in my classroom

Early September
Today was an alright day. I felt I was doing nothing but disciplining in the morning class, most likely because that is all I was doing. No one was really listening, and there were a couple of fights. It wasn’t the best day ever, but I made it through. The afternoon class was amazing. So much easier to handle seven less children, for sure. I know, the kids look innocent, but don't let the looks deceive you! I am amazed that most of them are actually looking at the camera! Lunch today was alright. Soup, rice, some kimchi (which still hasn’t grown on me yet) and some small little fish. I really wanted a picture, because they were so eency weency. They were delicious, but perhaps it was just due to the sauce on them. Either way, I mixed the fish with my rice, and it was kinda creepy cuz the fish were sort of see through, and all I could see were eyes. Really little eyes. I blocked that out and focused on the taste. Today was the rainiest day ever. It was raining at 6am and it is still raining now at 9pm. It made the walk there and the walk home not so pleasant, and my hair was in a state of utter disarray. It was kind of cool walking though, because EVERYONE has an umbrella and it was somewhat like an umbrella war. Whenever I would pass someone, it was a kind of shuffle. I am sure the Koreans are used to it, as they manoeuvred around just fine. It’s like a parade of colours. While walking home, I ducked into a store and found some broccoli, which made my day since I was beginning to question if it existed in Korea after not finding it at all at E mart. Angela and Jaime were not at school today because they had to get their medical checks done, so I was walking home solo. Pleased with my broccoli discovery, I headed home to use my stove for the first time. This was a somewhat unnerving experience, as it is a gas top. Thankfully Angela was in my apartment to walk me through the lighting process. It cooks so fast! In less than about 5 min I had a homemade stir-fry that was quite delicious if I say so myself.
So that takes me to today. It is 9pm and I am just about ready to go to sleep. I am going to read more of Eat, Pray Love and probably pass out shortly thereafter.
