Thanks iTunes and Ray LaMontagne for putting me in the mood for Georgia and warm weather. Good song.
Slowly but surely it's warming up here. I actually went out and about during the day multiple times this week with only a cardigan or hoodie. *GASP* It's putting me in the mood for good tunes and making me more and more excited to fly home. Ready to see flowers and greenery rather than sidewalks, buildings, and gray / smoggy skies.
April begins the Cherry Blossom Festivals throughout Korea. Hoping to go to one at the Seoul Zoo in a few weeks as it continues to warm up, hopefully giving the flowers more time to blossom.
Now near the middle of the Spring Term. Holy cow does it fly by!!! Middle school exams are approaching at the public schools so I'll have a few half days in the next weeks due to the kids taking time off to study. Looking forward to the breaks, even if it means less $$. Such is life.
Had an interesting, and slightly out of my control, complaints from the kids. One girl told my manager, or perhaps it was her mother, she wanted more tests from me and to be called on more. I already call on her a lot; she's a very active participant, so that was an interesting convo with my manager. "Let me get this straight... she wants MORE tests... ???" Never had kids complain about that before. Second complainer was a new boy who didn't like that the class only has 2 or 3 other boys, who are younger than him, thus less mature. Unfortunately I cannot change their age, and as hard as I try to keep them in line, boys will be boys. And find it funny to hide girls' rulers in the boys bathrooms.
On the plus side, some female coworkers and I are starting a book club. Yay reading. First on our list, Water for Elephants. I've always wanted to read it, but never got around to it, and now that there's a movie coming here in May... no better time than the present.
