Happy October! Fall term is halfway over, which means I have about four months until I return home. This was also the first week all the middle schoolers returned from middle school testing - and of course they were beyond thrilled to see us again! I'm sure that's what the silence during class meant. They missed us so much they became speechless. But in all seriousness, they do work very hard at school and I sympathize how much stress they're under at times. I am happy to have them back.
One thing I'm not happy to have back are the mosquitos. The weather is starting to cool here, yet for whatever reason the mosquitos are back in full force, perhaps one last hurrah before it becomes unbearably cold. Either way, they've enjoyed disrupting my sleep for the past week and make my hands swell. I have, however, become a fairly decent mosquito killer via improved reflexes.
This weekend I'm going to the amusement south of Seoul, Everland, with a few co-workers and friends. It's one of the items on my 'must-do' list before I leave, and time is running out, so this weekend is the weekend.
