Another weekend is upon me. I am hoping to go out and explore a lot this weekend, although I haven't decided where yet. Either way, it's time to get away from this city and see more of Korea!
This past week has been very uneventful but still pleasant. All of the English classes were canceled as it was the last week of the school year. The students were busy with their other classes and taking exams, etc. This was nice in a way but it also made the days long as I still had to be here from 8:30-4:30 with nothing to do. I managed to get a lot of reading done towards the beginning of the week!
Wednesday was graduation day. After graduation we had a school lunch where we went to eat together. We had a very nice soup. It was a little different as there was a large bone in the soup and they gave you tongs and scissors to cut the meat off of the bone. It was very tasty though!
Yesterday was a month after the lunear new year which means they had another special day. My co-teacher brought in traditional food. I have to admit I wasn't too keen on most of it, and it was a little hard for me to stomach some of it, but the more I ate the more I was able to handle it. There was a rice with 9 different cereals in it--not bad, although it was cold. I am not a fan of cold rice. Then they had seafood and mushrooms shaped in a circle and fried--This was also cold. I had the most problem with eating this. I definitely was not a fan. It may have tasted better warm though. Everything else was good. I really like seaweed. :)
Today for lunch my co-teacher brought in mandu (Dumplings--yum! I love these things) and really good sandwiches. She told me how to make them so I will have to try, although they sound like a LOT of work for only a little result! We also had sliced apples. So healthy. ^_^
Mid-week until now I have just been working on my lesson plans. Some of these lessons are pretty ridiculous, but at least they will be entertaining. The government basically tells you exactly what to teach so it makes it easy at least. The students come back in March. I will have 6th grade (YES!) and 3rd grade. I will also be teaching an afterschool class a few times a week and a kindergarten class every once in a while. Not bad. I am most excited about the 6th grade students though!
Now that this posts talks almost entirely about food I am starting to become hungry again...
