Busy week, but with mostly smiles!

So this week was pretty busy. Had a lot to do since vacation is next week. Besides the normal things we do for each week, we had a meeting and we had to write letters for all the students. That means I had 18 kids to write for in Kindy and too many to count in Elementary. I think they will like them though. They are sent in the mail to their houses over break. I had a lot of fun with both my classes this week. Irin in Beethoven class is so sweet. She tells me she loves me everyday. She makes me laugh.

In fact this week Irin and Lily had ballet class after Kindy. So next to the room they use for Kindy I have my PK class in Elementary. Now Emily from old Edison is in the other PK class that I don't teach, but it is on the same floor as my class so I see her. Well Irin came running up to me screaming my name and hugging me. When I saw this Emily, who came in smiling starting glaring at me. So my guess is that I made her jealous. It was confirmed to me that I did because the rest of the week she came looking for me to joke around or talk to me. She also kept hugging me. She even took a picture with me. She makes me laugh, because I asked her what she was going to do for break and she told me she wasn't coming back because her mom said I was the reason. I told her how is that possible I don't teach you anymore and she just gave me her mad look, because she knows that I know she is lying to me. haha Anyways, here are some photos.

Oh I have a group photo of Beethoven class. They are so funny. I also have some more photos from All day class where Victoria was my mom, I was big sister and Ashley was the baby. We had a swimming pool and magical powers. It was pretty funny and cute!

Yesterday I saw James on my way to meet up with Leah. It was so nice to see him. I really miss him! I went to the airport with Leah to pick up her dad and brother. Now I have met her dad before, but this was her brother's first time coming to Korea. We took them around Myeongdong. We took them to eat dulk galbi (spicy grilled chicken with rice cake) and Norebang. We had pat-bing-su for dessert. It was a lot of fun! 

Well that is all I have. I am going to go finish eating and double check I have everything for Taiwan. I leave in about a half hour to go to the airport. Wish me luck! I am super nervous and excited! I can't believe I am going! Anyways, have a wonderful week everyone! I am going to make the best of mine! Besos!

Birthday party and ice cream making.

Well this week was fine. I had some fun with the kids and have pictures of course! So first we had birthday party this week. I had Lily and Ashley from my new class, Beethoven and I had Christopher and Matthew from Einstein. It was fun and the kids looked cute!























So on Friday as a special science project with my kids in Einstein, I made ice cream with them. It was a lot of fun, but very very messy. It was funny though. They had a lot of fun chasing me around with the bags of ice. They understood how it worked and it didn't work so great because they kids didn't shake long enough, but they liked it anyways. :) So here are some photos of the kids and me.












Lastly this weekend I had a lot of fun! Yesterday I saw Leah. I haven't seen her since before I left for America so it was nice to spend time with her. We went to Myeongdong which is one of the biggest shopping districts in Korea. It is a place that her and I know pretty well and you can buy all kinds of things for pretty little money. Like I bought two rings for 10 dollars. I got some hair ribbons too! So Leah and I ate dinner, did some shopping, went to norebang (karaoke) and had pat-bing-su (red bean sundae). It was a lot of fun! :) I also saw Haris today since I will be busy the next 3 weeks and I won't be able to see him. We went shopping in Yongsan which is a big digital shopping area. It was fun and we had pizza and ice cream. So I had a great weekend. :)
This is pat-bing-su



Ahh so next weekend is the start of my summer vacation. I am not sure if I have mentioned it yet but next Sunday I am flying out to Taiwan! Now I am super excited because it was another place I have always wanted to visit. Before I like K-pop I was into Taiwanese pop music! I am doing a tour group by myself, but I will be visiting the whole island of Taiwan. I honestly am so excited. So I will try to update on Saturday night if I have time. If not then my update won't be for 2 weeks. I will be meeting Leah's brother and dad next weekend and we are going to show them Myeongdong and take them to eat. So I will have some fun updates coming. The weekend after I get back from Taiwan I will be going to a concert with Leah. It is another K-pop group called infinite and I am excited. So I will be busy, but in a good way. Wish me safe travels and good weather! Have a wonderful week! Besos!
