I've been studying Korean, and can now read it, though I don't know what most of it means.  There are a good few things spelled in Konglish, so it's written in Korean but when you read it, it says an English word.  So that's kinda nice.  But I definitely need to study more.  I probably won't do a lot of studying in the next week or two, as we will be busy at work.  Also, I joined a book club, we are reading a book about North Korean defectors, people who have escaped from North Korea... they have a really difficult time assimilating to life in South Korea and other places, after being cut off from the world and living like they're in the early 20th century instead of 21st, it's no wonder why they have a hard time fitting in.  That plus the fact that they are looked down upon.  The book is called "Nothing To Envy" by Barbara Demick, I suggest it to anyone that is interested.  I got the book late, so I need to catch up, so I'll probably spend free time catching up in the book before I do any serious studying.
Also taking up a bunch of my free time is writing report cards, which are due soon and take a long time.  We also, have to write a script for a play for our classes.  Anyway, it's getting busy at the moment.

I'm trying to be a good teacher, I definitely think I'm getting better.  I like teaching the older kids more, but I don't think that would surprise most people that know me well.  My only third grade class I really enjoy teaching.  My 7 year olds are usually good, and my 6 year old class (remember 6 = 5, 7 = 6 in age where we come from) can be quite challenging at times, but it is rewarding when I can tell they are learning.  It is also rewarding when they are calm, hah..  they're a pretty crazy class compared to the others.

I'm making new friends, including some locals.  The locals are really nice, the parents of some of our students took my teacher friend and I out to dinner last week, and we even went out for a beer after with one of the fathers.  It's starting to get cold, I need to get some more long sleeved shirts because I unfortunately didn't bring mine from home.  I'd take time to read through this and maybe time some more, but I have dinner plans with a bunch of the teachers, our boss is taking us out, and I have to get ready, hope you enjoyed this update!
