Sorry I haven't blogged in a while - I've been busy and tired :) Feeling sick today, but I think I may just be exhausted? No fever, so that's good!

Bfast: cereal, milk, banana

Lunch: Seaweed, rice with black beans, sea weed soup, yogurt, kim chi, fish

dinner: eggs and tomatoes

So, it's normal for a ton of kids to ambush me after classes are done - they come to my desk, I'm convinced, just because I have candy. But today they were especially clingy. Maybe I just noticed more bc I am not feeling well. But I'm talking ALL up in my grill... going through my stuff, playing with my hair, trying to do stuff on the computer, pushing my chair all around the room (with me sitting in it!). I had at least 10 different little Korean girls shouting in my face trying to get my attention - I'm just one person ;) It makes me laugh to think about it. I did get a little irked, but when I told them to skidaddle they did (I said I love spending time with you girls but I need to do my work now. Go). Then about 15 minutes later, one of them comes running back to my desk, carrying a plastic bag. "Teacher, my mom want give to you". Inside were two little orange juices with soy milk, and a package of these little rice cake desserts that are super popular. I knew I'd want to eat the whole package of rice cakes, so I gave them to Yoon Jin and shared with some of the kids who were still there. People here love those things! They weren't bad, but I think maybe it's an acquired taste...? Anyway, all my previously felt annoyance melted away - I may need to get a little more stern, but that's not a bad thing. I love these kids :)

IT IS SO COLD! People now run everywhere to minimize outside time.

Oh, and yesterday was really great... Yoon Jin and the special ed teacher took me out to dinner at pizza hut, and then shopping at M Department Store. I know what you are thinking... but pizza hut here is super duper gormet. A nice sit down restaurant with AMAZING food. We had a coconut shrimp pizza, and it came with fizzy lychee juice. The salad bar had yogurt, pumpkin, mashed sweet potatoes, and all kinds of awesome fresh fruits and veggies.

The department store was interesting... There were many cute things (they wanted to me get a jacket, bc the one I have is NOT sufficient)... but even the largest sizes were too small! Korean women are tiny. I think I will need to go to Seoul to find clothes that will fit me!
