Turn That Frown Upside Down....

Helloooooo. I haven't done a lot of interesting things lately, so I don't have a whole lot to report. I have spent the last week vegging out and trying to get rid of this ridiculous cold. I am NOT enjoying waking up at the butt crack of dawn every morning to tutor, but I find the men quite hilarious. They still like to tell me how hungover they are and ask about my preferences of alcohol. Maybe they are asking about my alcohol preference because they want to buy me some vino. That would be sweet. Wine is hard to come by here, at least cheap wine, which is how I like it. :) Yellow Tail, the greatest wine of all time (not), is around $25. Craziness for that quality of wine. Anyways, back to the butt crack of dawn. I take the subway every morning to work and I find the people on the subway very entertaining. You could hear a pin drop. No one says ANYTHING. Yes, it is early, but you would think there would be some sort of noise. Almost everyone is sleeping or pretending to sleep. I am always the only one who has a thermos of coffee. It must be taboo to bring a drink from home or something?? Maybe I look cheap? I love seeing people sleeping with their mouths open. I wonder what they would do if I dropped a breath mint in their mouth? Or started singing really loud to John Mayer... or started running up and down the isles. It would be a perfect norm breaker assignment (Do something abnormal in society). I had to do that assignment in high school for Mr. Woollen's class and I totally made it up. I never did it. I still feel bad, sorta. Sorry Mr. Woollen. Maybe I will do it here in Korea? uhhhh... never mind. ps. My friends totally had a crush on Mr. Woollen and I'm still confused. I won't mention any names.. (Eryn and Christine)...opps..

My kindergartners' graduate this Saturday and I am actually sad. I have grown pretty attached to them (minus the puking). Some of them will continue to come to ECC (my school) for a few classes a day, but i won't see them everyday. tear. I think it is pretty funny that we actually have a ceremony for them. Will they wear robes? Have a valedictorian? Have a graduation song? I'm not sure. I will keep you posted on all the crucial steps in their graduation that they will remember for the rest of their lives... or at least until the end of the day.

Have a wonderful weekend.
xoxo

I'm not embarrassed to admit that I had (have) a crush on Mr. Woollen. I think he had a crush on me too ;)
