I got my first (and hopefully not last) package this week. My mother was kind enough to send me a gi-normous box of such American delicacies as sunchips, cinnabun bars, better cheddars and candy corn. I was extremely excited. I also got some new shoes since I am literally walking the bottoms off of my shoes here.
Very excited about some Halloween decorations also. They don't celebrate Halloween here, so I'm teaching to my classes the week before. I've also decided to give 5 extra credit points to any student who dresses up in a costume for my class. I know that they wont want to do it, but it's an automatic A. Korean kids will do anything for good grades. The seniors stay at school until midnight every night to study for the Korean SAT's. The school serves them dinner and everything. It makes me very sad.
Since I have started this post, Brendan has sliced off his fingernail and cut his finger while slicing garlic. I think I need to watch him more closely while he's cooking.
I think my ankle is getting better. The doctor says that I am walking on it too much, stading on it too much and not elevating it enough. He wants me to come back every week to check it. That doesn't bother me because to visit him only costs $2.50 and he's an orthopedic specialist. You can't buy a sandwich for $2.50. You can't buy a sock. Tell me that national health care isn't awesome. They only pay %6 of their income in taxes also. How is this possible?
I think that the plan for this weekend is to try and get hair cuts here. We're going to print out pictures of the hair cuts that we want and then bring them to a salon. I'll let you know if this strategy works. Maybe with pictures???
I hope everyone that reads this is doing well. Everyone else...who cares? Just kidding. See ya!

Good luck with the haircut! I want to see pictures of the finished product.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your foot is better, but try to take it easier like he said. I didn't know Brendan was cooking-I thought you all went out because it was cheaper.
