I'm getting there. I am ready for this week, and even partially ready for next week. Tomorrow I will meet with my co-teacher to go over the plan for grade 2 for next week. I compile that into something in English for her for Wednesday. Should be interesting, since Mr. Hong decided that we are doing a welcoming dinner for the new teachers (Edvish and me) tomorrow evening. Hopefully it won't take too long. I'd like to get things to the point that I am getting all my prep done during my free periods at school.

Tomorrow the second graders have some sort of practice, so I do not have 1st period. I will only teach the lesson once, and I get to go in late since I do not start until second period. Sweet!

These photos are from a trip to Seoul a couple of weeks ago. Anna and and I met up with Desi, who was fresh off the boat from Georgia a mere week before me. The first is Desi looking proud of her new hat and then one of Anna and me where we had lunch. I can't remember what the food is called at the moment. It is meat, gimchi, garlic and veggies cooked on a dome shaped grill like thing so that the fat rolls down and away from the food. It was tasty, though not something I am crazy about.

There is a place downstairs in my building that serves the same thing, I think. Fattening if eaten too much. Pork, too, which many people I know here don't eat. SDA's are often vegetarian, and even those that do eat meat usually don't eat pork.





Maybe I'll add pics from my trip this past saturday next time.
