Weekend fun!






We finished summer program at work this week. That means no more going in 2 hours early, plowing through lessons, only having a 5 minute break before the next round of mayhem comes in, and rushing around like crazy people. Now it's back to work at 2, teaching 55 minute classes, and done by 9. WOO HOO! We did have our end of summer party on Friday. Each teacher was assigned a game room, and since we just had the Olympics, they were all sports oriented games. MY job? I was on water balloon duty. That means I made 200 water balloons on Friday. Why? Because at the end of each hour, the kids got to throw water balloons at the teacher of their choice. I was only picked 4 times, so I only got mildly soaked. Our boss started chucking them at the TEACHERS at the last class, so thank to quick thinking I quickly filled up a bucket of ice cold water, snuck up behind him, and dumped the whole thing over his head. Yes, I know, sweet revenge.

I was sick this weekend. It's one thing to wake up with a sore throat, pounding headache, and a stuffed head. It's even worse to wake up with those symptoms in Korea. I can't speak Korean, so I couldn't go to the pharmacy and tell them what was wrong. Luckily thanks to my awesome planning skills I brought medicine from home, so I've been laying around like a lazy person all weekend, watching movies, playing with Asher, and systematically taking Motrin, sudafed, and NyQill.

Lots of staring and pointing by Koreans lately, as much as I love it (note sarcasm) I'm starting to feel like I'm at a zoo, and Jasmin is the main attraction. I mean seriously, manners? Ever heard of them?!

Most likely, not.
