And so has been passed the last couple of days here in Korea. Yesterday we started classes... and I was definatly nervous. From what the owners and other teachers said my class was supposed to be terrors, some of the work kids in the school. And after our one hour preperation the night before, I wasnt really sure what was going on. So I started and I was nervous, unsure of what to do I suddenly found myself in front of a classroom with a nuch of 4 year olds looking at my expectantly, calling me teacher and waiting for me to idk teach.
The first day was obviously very heticc and crazy. I didnt have all the books so the first 10 mins of every class that day was very confused. My young kids are actually GREAT! Logan is the cutest kid, so sweet and caring. Milosh is the one who everyone assumes is the devil and yes he is hectic but he is cute once you figure him out. Elizabeth and Suzzane are teachers helpers, always eager to help out. Timothy I havent quite figured out yet. Thomas however is a DOLL! So cute and always tries hard to get the answers right. Ewan is the devil, not one of my favs but when he likes the activity he is totally into. And lastly is Jeff, a super cute shy boy who is so sweet. With this class I do phonics, gym, writing, cooking, themes (which is a weekly theme that we center games etc around: this week is jobs) and a bunch of other things. I am with them from 10am to 1. Then I have a planning break. Then playtime with the babies. And then two grammer and english classes. The first which is my worst class and the last which is the BEST class.
Some random Korean things are people stare at us HELLA! It's so weird. We are not sure if it is cause we are foriegn and there are not many in our neighboyhood or if its my hair. The first day the other kids saw me they went crazy over my hair. It was funny. The food is still great! Tonight we are going out to get this really yummy chicken thing. Things are open soooo late here... like the mall is open until 10pm! Drivers are MAD here, its crazy.
About the appartment. Its actually really nice. I have a pretty big room with a queen size bed. Unfortuantly I have the wrong sized fitted sheet so its a bit awkward as I try to make due. The lived area is Big too. Will post pics soon. Our roommates (and the other two American teachers) are really sweet.
Basically thats about it. Will write more soon. Miss you all and love you bunches!
*side note: in a previous post I said that my breakfest was $60.. I meant to say $6... so yea. cheap for great coffee and waffles!*
