A Day in the Gwangj...


Desiree and I ventured out on the town today.  We mailed some letters, bought some bread, ran into about a dozen students, walked down my favorite street (twice!) and gave the head honcho at our bank a little lesson in American English by reading the Lord's Prayer and the Apostle's Creed for him so he could make accent and pronunciation marks.  Never a dull day in the Gwangj...

In other news, winter break [round one] is in full swing.  I've been thoroughly enjoying sleeping without the looming sound of an alarm clock, watching embarrassing amounts of Breaking Bad and recuperating from an exhausting last couple of weeks of school - (that's a funny joke) - the last two weeks of school went like this:
(The projector screen in the classroom is down, the lights are turned off and the chairs and tables are arranged in tight rows, perfect for staring at the projector screen in the dark.)
Students: "Teacher!  We will watch movie?"
Noelle: NO!
Students: Really, Teacher?
Noelle: Really.
Students: So sad story, Teacher.
Noelle:  HAHAHAHAHA!  Just kidding!  We're watching School of Rock!
Students: (nervous laughing).

Also, with some of the first grade students, we played a Christmas game.  Some gems from said Christmas game:
Q: Who helps Santa make toys?
A: Bart Simpson?

Q: What does Santa ride on?
A: Toilet!
