Cheaaaaahs!Haha... not sure if serious but I'll answer anywayI live about 5 hours from Seoul, there are no foreigner bars or anything like that here. I love teaching in general and I love my students but that's about it...I hate desk warming, hate how much of a joke the education system is, but mostly I just hate how boring it is here. I came from a pretty lively city with an active social life so I've just been going out of my mind for the past 16 months. I've definitely had some positive experiences mainly based around teaching, and I don't regret coming here at all, but I'm ready to move on Sorry if I sound like a negative nancy!
Taught the students how to make quesadillas today! They loved 'em!! I really enjoy cooking with the students ^^ There were a few extra tortillas left over and one group still had a lot of sauteed veggies left so they made a monster quesadilla It basically exploded when they tried to cut it into pieces
Camp's done. It was probably the best camp I've had in the four and a half years I've been here. To make things even better, my school says I can "work from home" instead of deskwarming, so I'm going to have a nice, loooooon summer break.
Camp is finished. This week was a lot better than last. 3rd and 4th graders think everything is fun. Bless them. I also get to leave school early and I'm getting ready to jet off to the land of burritos, In-n-Out, and all things weed related. See you in September!
I just really love my kids (of course that's only about 100 out of 1500 but still).
