Friday and Saturday

alright, sorry i haven't written a post in the past few days. i'll write a nice long one today to catch you guys up. teaching went pretty well friday. the only class i'm not really sure about is sky5. they have some of the most confusing ways of naming and breaking up all the classes. you've got sky5 and 7 year B, and some of them are colors like orange b2 and green a, and then there's amber, jade, and ruby. i have no idea what it all means. the schedule they make is quite possibly the most confusing thing i've ever seen. there are 2 different schedules. Elissa is in charge of the morning schedule, which is with the younger kids. it has lots of colors and is very pretty, but impossible to understand. Eunice is in charge of the afternoon schedule with the older kids. Her schedule looks completely different. It has no colors and is quite ugly and still impossible to understand. oh well, it makes things interesting thats for sure. anyway, back to sky5. they are the 5 year olds, which i guess would be 4 years old american age (Koreans apparently consider you to be 1 year old when you are born). the curriculum is way to advanced for them. i have no idea how to teach them. they're adorable and fun to play with, but i prefer teaching the older kids. anyway, after work i went out to dinner with natalia and michael. i guess they pretty much go to the same place every friday. it was really nice and the food was good. after that we just kinda walked around. saturday i was supposed to go with michael to a bbq that some people he met were having, but i guess he never heard from them so we took the subway to seoul and met a friend of his, Elsa. There was a mall, I'Park Mall, that was kinda built around the subway station. we pretty much walked around there all day. it was a pretty big mall. we were there for like 7 hours and i'm still not sure we saw the whole thing. it was fun though.

we ate dinner at some Japanese place in the mall. I had the California Roll. My first experience with sushi. It wasn't bad.

Later, Elsa's Korean friend Jaeman (I think?) joined us for dessert. We went to this cute little place with rocking chairs. Here's a picture of Michael and Elsa:

We saw these cute little dogs too. They looked so sad:( I wanted to take them all home with me. I felt bad for the poor kitty too.

Overall, it was a fun day. the subway back was interesting. we weren't sure it was going to ever go anywhere and michael wasn't even sure it was the right one. it did eventually move though and it did turn out to be the right one. yay! i was very happy to get back home to my bed:) today i plan to do as little as possible! the end!
