(thank you b.millz for that photo of one incredulous shirt.)
field trips.
cripes.
today was nature school.
another welcomed pause from the all-to-familiar classroom grind.
a slightly warm day, but certainly tolerable compared to the spring weather back home.
(i know it's a chord i strike a lot, but for me, weather back home has certainly irritated me.
i feel like the weather of where i live factors in to how i honestly feel about a place.)
a little bit of playground time, a little bit of nature-necklace making, a little bit of sweet potato planting and you've got yourself a day at nature school.
thoroughly physically exhausting, but it's assuredly easier to deal with kids playing all day than it is dealing with kids stuck in a classroom.
also, i got to see my old boss, lisa teacher.
lisa was my boss until moved to the school adjacent to our nature school.
good to see the lady who brought me to korea, for which i'm forever thankful.
anyway, i don't know what's going on in youngtong, but i think i'm seeing more and more foreigners everyday.
just walking to and from school, with the occasional grocery stop in between, i've seen a lot more 'way-gooks' recently.
maybe everyone is emerging from winter hibernation.
in korea, saturday is teacher's day.
so go hug your teacher.
or any teacher.
maybe we'll get blown up with all kinds of cakes and cookies and coffee and shit at work.
next friday is buddha's birthday, a national hoilday in korea.
now if only i knew what to do with a long weekend....
i'm hoping me and my crew will make a rendez-vous with havoc in some part of korea unseen by us.
d-day = 71 days
