Resting Weekend

This week has been insanely tiring. Work was pretty bad this week, mostly because we're out of the honeymoon period with students and now they're trying to see how far they can push before we tell them to stop. Not to mention, there was an incident with a student and toy gun in my class. I'm just very very happy that this week is over, and now I have two days to myself to relax. This weekend... I'm just going to relax and be lazy. No going downtown at night and I think the craziest thing I'm going to do is maybe go to the movies and go shopping for Halloween costumes.

But on the plus side, yesterday, two students told me that they loved me and gave me hugs ^_^ They're my LD students (so basically the lowest level ever). I teach them phonics (I have no clue how, so I made up my own way of doing things haha). Glad that it's working ^_^

But yea, completely run down, so definitely taking this weekend to recharge

Quick Update

So.... I pretty much suck at updating my blog. Sorry >_< I've been insanely busy with work lately... and then I go away for the weekends. Two weekends ago, I went to Seoul for two days ^_^ It was pretty cool. But I definitely spent way more money than I wanted. So I have to budget my money for the rest of the month... especially since I want to go to Busan for Halloween. Ummmm, Seoul was fun. One of the Korean teacher's boyfriend showed us around the National Assembly (where he works), and we had a backstage tour. It felt like we were breaking in, since no one was there, and so many lights were off! haha. We basically then spent the rest of the time eating and shopping.

Work, work, and more work.

Then we went dancing and noraebang this weekend. Pretty active, but next weekend will definitely be more laid back. Went to church today... not Catholic though. It was a Presbyterian service with my friend Andy. WAY WAY WAY different than Catholic mass, but I like it. Even if I can't understand it all. I think I might just get super-religious and go to the Catholic service and the Presbyterian service. I like the people in Andy's church. Is it cheating on religion?? Maybe :P We'll see how it goes.

Right now I'm doing a major cleaning of my apartment, so I should probably get back to that. Just finished cleaning the bathroom, and now it's time for the kitchen and then tidying my room and vacuuming the main area. I got yelled at for how messy it was, but I still hadn't unpacked from Seoul!! It was just too crazy last week.

I swear I'll update my Shutterfly pictures soon! Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday, I promise. It all depends on how much I need to prepare for my Wednesday class (which is basically all supplemental material since the book sucks. definitely lots of it is too difficult for LD students).

Love you! I'm still trying to figure out the postal service, but email me or comment with your addresses if you want a post card or a small gift. I might just mail a big box home with presents for everyone, so Carmen with probably pass them out haha. Sorry, Cari!

XOXO
