RAVING/HAPPY SH!T MEGATHREAD

I know how my fellow foreigners love their mayo so here's something quick, easy, and freaking delicious:

Marinate some chicken breasts in italian dressing + mayo. I only did about an hour but they came out so tender and flavorful. Brought some to top my salad for lunch today. Very excited about it.

Drooling already. Why do you do this? You and Halo and her freaking samgyetang which I also love. I hate you both. I'm checking the school's lunch menu now.

Mayo chicken breast sounds amazing. Because mayo is amazing.

Yesterday I had lemon pepper chicken breasts with a spinach salad and it was great.

Also my school just got a cafeteria and I want to die. I've never eaten in a school cafeteria here before. It's miserable. No control over how much food you get. Long lines of screaming children. Tiny little baby stools to sit on. My lunchtime went from being a time for eating food and relaxing and occasionally talking to people, to now being a time to wait in line for 15 minutes [it's not just me, all teachers have to wait] to devouring my lunch and getting out as fast as possible.

But today is sunny so this can go in the happy thread.

Dang that's unfortunate lol. I memorized the Korean words for "just give me a little bit please", and teachers get to cut in line at my school. But the baby stools are a problem in general. I'll call it motivation to lose weight!

Got back to my main school and two students burst open the doors and yelled "HELLO [YIRJ]!!"  Quite the welcome back.

Apparently it's winter cleaning time? Everyone cleaned/organized their desks today and some of the jokers came over and made a point of comparing my (currently messy) desk to their sparkling ones. Thankfully, nobody tried to clean my desk for me. It's mainly just lots of paper that I haven't yet taken time to sort through. Gonna save the bulk of it for an art project for winter camp anyway ^^ I wanna make some papier mache masks.

Nice to feel motivated to tidy up the desk! Looks much better already though I'm not yet finished

MY FIRST PERIOD GOT CANCELLED OH WHAT A DAY

MY FIRST PERIOD GOT CANCELLED OH WHAT A DAY

You haven't had your period yet????????

Last week, I was told that we wouldn't have any class today because of the talent show. I rock up, with some books and my little midi keyboard to pass the time. My CT announces that we have 4 of the 5 classes today... Gah!

Mercifully, she suggests we put a movie on for them.

Classes cancelled, and I'm wearing socks with weed leaves on them because Koreans don't know what weed leaves look like.

South Koreans may not but North koreans...

Apparently winter cleaning also entails disposing of random snacks onto my desk.

One is a sack of individually wrapped dark chocolates-- pretty good stuff, so I'm not complaining 

one of my kids made a pretty good multilingual joke in class and I just absolutely died. He was incredibly pleased that I understood it, too. I don't think it comes off well just telling over text, but I'll tell it anyways:

There was a bee in the classroom (??? I don't know how they're not all dead); fortunately it was only near the boys so they didn't freak out, and just pointed out the bee to me. I swatted it away a bit and it flew up towards the ceiling, and the boy pointed at it and said "be-동사"

 

Cubs Win! Cubs Win!

Not a huge Cubs fan, but nice to see the curse broken.

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked one of my classes if they watched baseball, the MLB (since KLB just had their final last night) and one of the boys hopped up out of his chair and ran around shouting and giving play by plays, he was so excited.

Art teacher is boss. He'll randomly show me fun tools he acquires.

Thanks to him, I've tried out a dremel and a hot-wire foam cutter!!

I hadn't really considered how the game may freak out adults until one of my coTs let out a scream during class today. Was absolute madness afterwards. Controlled chaos is always fun.

How scary was it actually? I'm thinking about doing it next week for the second half of next weeks lessons.

Hard to judge that, but scary enough that it gets a lot of reactions out of each class, some more than others depending on how exaggerated a student or three will act before and during. It shows clips from various horror movies.

The modified version I shared removes the jump scares on the menu slide and also contains question/answer slides. Created it because my kids are the types who beg to play "Bloody Mary" only to be the first ones to bolt from the bathroom before you can finish the second chant.

maximmm's original is more fun, imo, and can be used more flexibly with a larger variety of activities and lessons.
