Bibimbap

I had the best bibimbap yesterday.

Instead of the 'typical' vegetables, it had lots of little pieces of lettuce and sprouts. Then it had lots of little green fish eggs. and little pieces of the Korean crispy seaweed. and an egg. mixed all together with korean hot sauce. mmmmmm

:)

So. another week down. This week I started with 5 classes a day and ended with 4 a day. A new teacher showed up, so our classes and work load got shifted around a little bit. It's both a good thing (more rest time for my voice/down time to do work) and kind of a bummer, because now I have a few hours to just sit there every day... and let's face it, it's more fun to teach. But such are the ways of the world it seems.

Now at least I have time to get done a lot of my prep time at school instead of at home. That leaves more time to dance (and pretend to get my body back in shape?) and some down time (and possibly freelance... if I can figure that out).

On a total side note, there's this crazy show on Korean tv right now... it's ... almost a porno. and it's on channel 20 on a friday night. like.... that's regular access, right? I'd tell you more about it, but seeing as my korean skills are still rather limited, we'll all have to guess. (Any Koreans reading this, I think it's called 'Alice?' ) (I was trying to enlist a friend to give me a crash course in Korean, but unfortunately it has yet to happen.)

Though, I realized, now that I can read Korean (slowly.) I can use the english-korean dictionary on my cell phone. so now, if you just give me all day, I will decipher a full menu for you. :)

I do need someone to explain my washing machine for me.

At my school (cram school or hagwon to be exact), after the practice test each week, all scores are posted with names attached (intense), then at the beginning of the new week students are shuffled around to different classes based on their scores. It's good in one way, as it's easier to teach a class where everyone is at the same level. But at the same time it's hard, because teachers (and students) have just gotten used to a class,(finally) learned the students names, and everyone gets switched around. Felt like pointing that out.

I like my students, but I miss some of the ones who've been switched out of my classes.
