Wow, I hadn't realized how long it had been since I wrote last... I'm sure it was killing everyone with anticipation for me to write again (kidding...) but I will try and recall what the last two weeks entailed!
The week after Seoraksan was not eventful. The weeks are blurring together and they fly by. We have a ritual of "Movie Mondays" at my co-teacher Chad's apartment so that's always fun to look forward to. I've seen a lot of good films, some Korean, one French one, and some American films I had never heard of. We did have a field trip for our kindergartners on Friday but it was walking up a mountain, pretty boring but oh well. The field trip was supposed to be to a farm but it had to be canceled because the day we were supposed to go it rained so the mountain it was. Anyways, last weekend I didn't do much Friday night, just hung out with some of the other teachers and we went to the bar Underground which is just in Suji, so within walking distance. Saturday, we went to HBC festival. HBC stands for Hae Bong Chon which is an area in Seoul. The festival was basically non stop bands in a handful of bars in the area from about 1:00pm all through the night. We got there about two and just wandered from bar to bar listening to different types of music and then one of my co-teachers, Tom, played at 8. It was a fun night and I got to hear some good (and some pretty bad) music.
Last week at the school we started decorating for Halloween! It was really fun to go back and recreate crafts and ideas that we did in elementary school. There's a contest for who can decorate their room the best and although I'm 99% positive I won't win, it's still fun to make. I'm going to try and finish this week, so I'll have two weeks to enjoy the full effect.. and then I'll put up pictures. So far I've made some window coverings, some spiders to hang, paper bats, and my favorite, a graveyard where all the kids have their own tombstone! All my kindergartners, not ALL my students but its mainly for the kindergartners and its basically their classroom.
This past weekend I didn't do anything, literally. I had a weird headache kinda thing all week and with ten weeks ahead of me with no vacation I didn't want to risk getting sick. So the weekend consisted of skyping, watching Modern Family episodes online, eating, and reading my kindle. It rained a lot on Saturday so it was a perfect day to sit around and do nothing. I read all three books of the series "The Hunger Games" and I recommend them to anyone looking for something to read. I actually read the first one on Tuesday, the second one on Wednesday, but saved the third for the weekend because finishing the two books in the two days meant I had sacrificed sleep to do so and again, I don't want to get sick!
This is an extremely boring entry and I'm trying to think of anything that happened to add something worth reading about but nothing comes to mind really... I did get paid for the first time! But that's really only exciting to me haha but it was more money than I thought so that's always a pleasant surprise.
The next week ahead should be busy trying to finish Halloween stuff but it's making October go by really fast, as all the weeks do here. The weather is still in the upper 60's here so I can't complain about that. The trees haven't even really started to change yet so I'm hoping winter is still a ways away!
Have a good week everyone!
Love, Meghan
