Right now I am sitting in my staff room at school waiting for my Moms and Tots class which starts at 10:30. I love M&T but is it ever draining...good thing I have a 3 hour brake until my next class afterwards otherwise I don't think I would make it through the day.
My past few days here have been really great and everyday I am becoming more and more comfortable with my new life here and although its a climb...the view is great :)
I got a new building mate woohooooo her name is Amanda and she just arrived last week and has moved 2 doors down from me. It's awesome because we're both new and still figuring everything out but I think we're managing.
I still am not sleeping :( and am tired 99.9% of the time but the days energize me even though I'm stuck inside during the sunshine. I don't know what's up...maybe I'm too anxious/excited or amybe its my neighbour who liked to blast music and hammer on the walls at midnight but hopefully it goes away soon
On sunday I had the funnest day ever and went to this amazing amusement park here called Everland. We had to travel far out of the city but it was totally worth it as this park was truly incredible and turned me into a child for a day. I just couldn't decide what I wanted to do first, I got excited about everything like a puppy, I ate WAY too much food...it was awesome!! We first went to the water park called Carribean Bay and spent most of our day there. It was a beautiful day to spend in the water and going down slides. We hit the wave pool first but being in Korea and there silly ways we had to wear hawaiian printed life jackets lol now for someone who's been swimming since I could walk this seemed ridiculous but whatever, it made it that much more fun. We went down some bobsleigh slides, some tube slides, one that was similar to a rollercoaster and then hit the longest lazy river I've ever been in....all in all AMAZING!! Then it was time for the park and the first order of business was ZOOTOPIA ie. a zoo as it says in the name. We saw tigers and seals and penguins and lemars and monkeys and big friggin turtles and polar bears and I was in heaven and could have spent all day there. Then it was time to try out the T Express which has the steepest incline of any wooden rollercoaster in the world AH!! Ofcourse the front row was going to be necessary and was well worth the wait....so fast, so steep, so scary but oh so much fun!! Our food intake of the day included ALOT of dippin dots, slushies, hot dogs, pizza rolla, cinnamon rolls but no cotton candy :( maybe next time. I would seriously go back next weekend but I think I'll hold out...absence makes the heart grow fonder :):)
My Korean has not improved...I'm still holding steady with the whole 4 words I know but after a quick lesson from Rexy I'm hoping to extend that to 10 or 15 words and maybe even a sentence or two...who knows, I'm not putting any pressure on myself since its only been a few weeks.
I've been having all these really vivid dreams about people from at home and its freaking me out because when I wake up I actually think they are there or I am home and get all confused...maybe that's why I can't sleep! They aren't weird dreams, they're very normal and I'm just in regular situations and places that I would be in if I were at home but they are so real...maybe I'm just missing some people and I'm sure that won't change all year but hopefully my dreams do.
Wow I just realized how boring I am and how I really have nothing interesting to say hmmm I need to work on that but I'm not making an promises...this might be all you get for the next year :)
Well time for class...I have my wee little Moms and Tots class and cannot wait to see all their adorable little faces that I just want to squish!!
Another day, another adventure in teaching
