(Waaaaaay too) Young love

Well back from the week off and I am still in vacation mode. I've been tired all week and am glad I didn't come up with a real lesson for this week cause the students aren't back yet either. I would have pictures posted somewhere but my camera crapped out on me upon landing in China. So time for me to get a new camera. I'm a bit on the fence about getting a nice digital SLR. Main thing holding me back is the amount of cash I'll have to shell out. I'll most likely go with the small point and shoot with manual options.

I haven't mentioned the new woman in my life. No. She's not the new woman in my life. She's my climbing partner. Following in the footsteps of other cool climber chicks like (in no particular order) Elizabeth H., Heather, Neha, and Elizabeth O., Paula has gotten me back on track and back on the wall (soon to be real rock). She hails from Montreal and her parents are Korean. Therefore she can hang out in this country without a job if she feels like it. She is also part of the reason why I'm spending money on gear like this than on the digital SLR.

Oh yeah. It was teacher's day yesterday here in Korea. The students showed their appreciation by playing music, singing songs, and making speeches praising us. It was nice and sweet. I've also received a love letter from one of my 7th grade girls who later wrote on the whiteboard "I love Viet teacher." I didn't notice until one of the 9th grade girls pointed it out. The letter was cute and I'm happy she tried wrting in English.

Then today another 7th grade girl awkwardly stood outside the teachers' lunch room. I thought they ran out of food in her class room but she came there to talk to me. I'm glad one of my co-teachers was there. Woo Friday! I'm out.
