Okay so I have a lot to talk about. So first off on Tuesday we had a field trip to the light museum. It was a lot of fun for the kids and it was pretty interesting. I was in charge of Davinci and Helen class by myself so it was a challenge. I was in charge of 11 kids and two of them only speak a little bit of English. However, they did pretty well for me. I really only had to yell at them once so it could have gone a lot worse. The kids have fun and I have a ton a pictures. I also found out that Emily in Davinci is leaving and moving to Dubai. I am sad she is leaving so Wednesday will be her last day. Anyways here are pictures from the field trip.

Alex (side note he fell and hit the table in my class last Friday and it bruised. I travel down his eye so that is why it looks like he got punched. He says it doesn't hurt though.)

Okay so I have a lot of photos. hehe I love field trips! The kids are so cute! :) Okay on that same day my favorite K-pop group came back with an album called Dream Girl. So I won't really fan girl too much. I will just say that the Album is really good and I already bought it. My favorite song is Spoiler. Anyways I will add the music videos of Dream girl and a live performance of it and Beautiful.
Side note: In the live version Minho's mic stands breaks and they are able to push everything out of the way with really being noticed. Onew even jumps on the stand part and pushes it away with the dance moves. So yeah I enjoy it and they will be coming out with chapter 2 of the CD in April.
On to graduation. The one day I have been excited and dreading for awhile! So we have been rehearsing all week. My poor kids were asking to study. At the end of the performance we had to sing the song Graduation by Vitamin C and when we were practicing Victoria in my Einstein Class started to cry. I felt so bad but she actually understood what the song was saying. My kids who aren't coming back keep saying they don't want to leave. I feel so bad. Victoria is coming back too, but she just doesn't want to leave here. I think she is more nervous than anything else. I know she will be fine. She is a really smart girl. Anyways, my kids did fantastic. I have some photos and videos of practice from Thursday and the graduation performance. So I will put the pictures first and then the videos. I was very proud of them! They did a great job and my boss and their parents were happy. I even got roses. :)

All of them together! So pretty!
So I apologize about the videos my camera is old that was used. The practice videos were done on my phone so that is why there is a difference. Also I look dumb in the intro video so sorry. haha Anyways you can here them talk a little bit. All of Edison's was filmed so that is nice too.
Okay I have some random photos with Victoria from Columbus and Lumi from my Davinci class.
So Victoria kept saying chu, chu and I was trying to figure out what she meant in English then I realized she was speaking Korean saying kiss. That is why this picture exists and the one with Lumi too. hehe
Okay lastly saying goodbye. I have many goodbyes to say this coming Wednesday. It will be Einstein and Edison's last day. Also it will be Emily of Davinci's last day. I am really sad about it. I am going to miss them so much. I know I will be able to see some of them when they come back but it won't be the same. I am excited for them too though. I know this is a big step for them and they way these kids study I know they will do wonderfully. They are really smart and I hope to keep seeing them around. Saying goodbye to Edison will be the hardest for me since I saw them grow so much over the year. I know I have said it many times before, but I never thought I would love these kids so much. I feel like they are my family sometimes and they are really caring. I know Edison acts cold and rude, but their actions say another thing. They have gotten a lot better over the year and 2 months I have been teaching them. I am so glad to have met these wonderful little kids. They will forever be apart of my life and I know I will think of them often. I am writing each of them a letter to say goodbye and good luck. I am also writing a letter to their parents thanking them for giving me the chance to know their kid and being about to teach them. I know it sounds corny, but I do mean it. I don't think my time in Korea would have been great if I didn't love my kids. Nor would I even stay another year. I am sure my next blog will have a ton of pictures too because I will be having fun with my kids these next 3 days before saying goodbye. Well before I start crying I am going to stop it here. I am off to finish up letters so until next week! Besos!
