It seems like every time I write a blog I end up having to write it twice. grrr Sorry guys, I've been really busy. At school there is like no time to breathe, and when I'm not at school and I have free time, writing a blog isn't usually at the top of my to-do list.
Anyway, like I said, school has been really crazy. We have almost no free time now. Monday's and Tuesday's are my best days. The week is just downhill after that. The kids aren't bad. There are just so many of them now and a lot of them don't know much english. The little bit of Korean I've learned has helped some. You have to be careful using it though cause they freak out when you speak Korean and they start trying to talk to you. Oh, kinda funny side note story... One of the new upper level kids got to class early one day. I was at my desk doing something and he was reading. He had a question so he said in the most serious, polite voice, "Excuse me sir, what is this word?" I thought it was pretty funny. I didn't laugh though, and I probably should have corrected him, but I couldn't. haha:) Ok, well that's enough about school.
Last Saturday I went to Lotte World with Michael, Kristina, and Shawn.

Lotte World is an amusement park that is half inside and half outside. We were excited about not having to freeze to death, but it wasn't too, too cold. The lines were really long though, much longer than at Everland. Everland was much better overall actually, but we still had fun. We didn't ride many rides, only one that was kinda scary. They had balloons that went around the whole indoor area. That was pretty cool. After we got tired of waiting in long lines to ride rides, we went to the arcade to play games and then we took pictures at the photo booth. Korean photo booths are so much better. They're also pretty stressful. You get to decorate your pictures, but it gives you a time limit, so if you don't know what you're doing you're in trouble!
Sunday after church we went shopping around Bucheon Station and then met our friend Janice for Shabu Shabu. Very yummy:)

After dinner, I went to meet Abby's new dog, Honey. He's very cute:) Makes me want a pet. I'm thinking maybe a hermit crab? Honey also got to meet Peanut. They got along pretty well. Then we went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream. We wanted to get the ice cream fondue thing, but they didn't have it so we had to settle for normal ice cream:( Oh, well. So that was pretty much my weekend.
This week, not too much exciting. I did get to make St. Patricks day hats with the kids. When I say I got to make them with the kids, what I mean is, they got to color them, and I got to do everything else. They were much more complicated to make than you might think.
And that brings us to this weekend. Last night I went to see a movie with Abby and today I slept in and other than a trip to Homeplus, a little cleaning, and some laundry, I haven't done much. The weather is sooo nice here now. It's finally getting in the upper 50s to 60. Spring! Yay!! I love it!
