Friday's are by far the most tiring but most rewarding days of the school week. I was busy for every single moment of the day today, mostly with very energetic children running around not understanding a word that I say. I love it.
Friday's are also the day that I have kindergarten class. These little buggers are the cutest. Last Friday was my first day with them and they sat looking up at me with wonderment. Today, the second class with them a few brave souls ventured over and poked me and then ran away giggling. "Hehehe, I just touched the waygookin!*" seemed to be the general attitude of the day with them. Two brave girls reached up and touched my hair and then their own. It's cute seeing them realize that I am different than they are and watching them discover something as small as the texture of my hair being different than theirs.
I am completely exhausted after today, however, and am looking forward to the weekend. I believe I am going to rest my soul tomorrow by going to nature (I haven't decided exactly where yet but I need to get away from tall buildings and air pollution and into the mountains and trees), and shopping on Sunday! It's promising to be a fun yet low-key weekend. :)
I'll end this with some fun facts I realized today.
1) I have never had so much tofu in my entire life combined as I have in the past two months here. It's starting to grow on me.
2) Jellyfish doesn't taste nearly as bad as I thought it would taste.
3) I'm starting to really like kimchi.
I believe that's all for now.
*waygook is the Korean word for 'foreigner.' It holds no negative connotation such as the word 'gringo' might.
