The End of Week 3

So I have officially been teaching for 3 weeks...oh man do I ever have stuff to learn! The cool thing about life is that you never know enough and will continue to learn as long as you exist on this earth.  Today seemed like the longest day ever...although I DID have to work longer than expected due to my little visit to the immigration office on Monday.  It really is amazing at how fast time goes by in Korea, it might be due to the pace of the Korean people, or maybe the busyness of my life, either way things go by QUICK TIME.

So today was a good day, I didn't make anyone cry! WOOT WOOT although one of my kids did say "No More Erika" which may have been a death threat, not sure if I should press charges (JUST KIDDING, however it did kind of suck that he said that).  It may have been because I continued to tell him that how he was saying "permission" was incorrect and he must repeat it until he said it properly, either way it was a downer.  Sometimes I am unsure if I am cut out for this Korea Teacher thing but then I look at all the kids who told me they loved me today and the fact that one of the older kids asked me "Erika Teacher do you have a special man friend at home?"  These kids crack me up, I find myself laughing at random parts of the day while interacting with them.  There are pros and cons to each job and I would have to say that working with kids all day is more of a blessing than a curse :P.

After a pretty difficult morning, the receptionist at my school came over to me with a package that had been sent to me from a friend of mine who I haven't seen in years and lives in Hong Kong! I WAS SOOO encouraged to open it and find these lovely things (along with some Korean Won):

Honestly after I got this amazing and generous gift, nothing could have brought me down!   I continued with my day, got home late and went grocery shopping for some scrumptious food.  I am attempting to figure out how to read the washing machine however I feel the need to give up and hit a random button, pour some soap in and hope for the best.  How bad can it really turn out?

  Overall today was a pretty legit day, it IS FRIDAY and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the weekend has in store, I am exhausted from the week so I might just hit the hay early tonight (Yepp I am THAT cool).  I think much exploring will be in play tomorrow so let's hope it's not a scorcher!!!   I can hear the rain hitting my tiny window very heavily so maybe that will slow it down.  (As a side note look at my window).

Doesn't get much better than that! :) haha Well I am off to have a date with my bed!
