Children away from home
Let me first say, " I have a new found respect for teachers". I have wanted to do everything under the sun to my 80 kids. I have some that I just love and look forward to seeing. Then I have others that I want to just back hand or piston whip because some of these kids think they hard. If I had to pick a favorite class it would be my HI KIDS 1-5 (This means they are 7-8 years old and have some back round in English). I have a girl names Sarah 1 who I just love. She is the funniest of my students and always tries to be like me. For instance, I had a bobby on my shirt and she takes it and tries to braid her hair while she is standing in line. I t was the custest thing to me because half my kids still run up and touch me and look at thier hand for a few minutes trying to figure out what's going on. It still shcoks me that there are kids in this world that believe my skin color can come off, or that we are all from Africa. The story the kids believe right know is I am Obama's sister, since there can only be a handful of black people in the world. I can get made because they are so innocent about it. Honestly confused.
I do have a couple of children in my class that I really just want to have the hand of Jesus come over before I get me a paddle. I might have to call Phoenix and get prayer over the phone for some of these children.
My son and shopping
Well it was my son's birthday this weekend. It was hard to handle here. I was truly having a hard time. He told me he was turning 5 and was having a great time with Grandma Mimi. I was happy to hear him happy. He is a great little guy. My friend Hana helped my spirts by taking me late night shopping. 1:30 in the morning to be exact .
Let me be the first to say my original reports about the shopping was wrong. Real shoppers come out at night. These people shop until 5 in the morning. Shopping in the daytime sucks. They dont have the good stuff out and the vendors ain't thinking about your little money. Thier big money is midnight. Whole families be out shopping. I got the cutiest LV for about 35 cuz the lady liked my hair. I even found a big girl shop. I brought this cocoa colored sweater that was the business. I was super excited.
Cooking
I have final cooked something on my hot plate. Jerk pork. Now I am not exactly sure what pafrt of the pig I ate. Truth be told I am still praying it really was pork. Put Jerk seasoning on it and it is the business. It cooks really fast being cut so thin. I was hungry and 7 minutes later I was straight.
Showering
There is no medium, there is no in between, it is scolding hot or cold. You get a brief minute where the water is now, then Baam, scolding hot, painfully hot water. I have been playing with this water thing for about week and can't find a middle ground. I miss bath tubs. They have public baths, but you have to be naked. Bucking naking. In a room full of people you dont know being stared at because you dont look like anything they have ever seen. My chest is big in the States, in Korea I am asked how I stand up straight. Now being naked and being stared at is just not high on my list, so I will be bathless until I figure and alternative out.
That is it for me. I have homework and I have a crappy illness. From what I understand it has to do with yellow dust season. It is all the pollution from China blowing over into Korea. I have to buy a mask. At least that is what I have been advised to do. Love and blessings.
