cold, but still no jacket yet

Today is tuesday. That means a few things to me now: A) I have my two hardest classes during the morning. They are grade 1 class 4 (grade one meaning, middle school first year students aged around 13) and grade 3 class 10. I have to yell sometimes in the classes so it's not really fun. You all know that I'm really a type B personality so I'm out of my element when I do stuff like that.

B) I go to my free korean language class which is located about 5 minutes away from my apartment buildng. It's pretty nice, and I have lots of laughst while learning Korean. Today was no exception. My teacher is a college student and she recently had mid term exams. I asked how they were: she said hard (all in korean mind you) so then I say, "I'm sure you did well, I'll bet you got a 10 percent on the test" - mistaking 10 for 100 . Whoops! we had a laugh about that.

C) today was special, it was payday. always nice, but I try to save a lot so hopefully it won't matter too much.

Lunch was Bibimbap - a mainstay korean dish with various korean vegetables (bean shoots, carrot like things, mushrooms, others) mixed with rice and a kind of hot sauce. It's good. There is a new cook at the school cafeteria so I talked to her in Korean. She was nice. I have to make sure there is no fish, I'm allergic to it. If I eat it, I'll get sick.

Thanks for keeping all of us posted with your blog! I'm glad you have easy access to the internets while you're in Korea. :-)
