No longer am I a kindergarten teacher. It's been a short-lived, but fun/exausting experience. I enjoyed them most of the time, but after teaching my first two classes of older kids today, I'm happy to be back in familiar territory. There's something comforting being able to relate more to the average 15 year old, than 6 year old. Hmmm....don't think that quite came out right, but I'll let you figure that one out yourself.
I finished up yesterday and headed home just wanting to lie down and collapse. Not so much the kids fault this time, but I'm struggling with one hell of a cold. I slept around 12 hours last night and have been getting through today just thinking about my bed and relaxing. The good news (sarcasm) is that I have to get up yet again tomorrow and go into Seoul. I've been putting it off, but I need to go in to get my alien registration card. Capitol pain in the rear, but everyone that works legally has to have one. What it comes down to is me having to waste a day off to go and get pictures and then sit in some office for at least an hour ot wait for some other bs to happen. As you can see, I'm not really looking forward to it. If I feel anything tomorrow morning, like I did this morning, I'm gonna wanna just curl up in my bed and keep sleeping.
Speaking of sleeping. Things should be interesting tonight, when I get home. Matt and Joe are having a "homestay" with one of Matt's classes. It comes down to basically an overnight slumber party, complete with movies, pizza and an outing on Sat. in Seoul. Super fun for the kids, but I'm thinking my sleep might not be quite what I'd like it to be, tonight. This is the numbers; 5 12 year olds, Joe, Matt and I. May not sound like much, but then throw in the fact that we only have 2 small bedrooms, an even smaller living room and nothing else. Can we say kids everywhere! I've been coughing every night this week to while sleeping. Hope I don't keep them awake.
The last bit of news I found out a couple of days ago....Nadiya is coming home Sun. What's that to me? Hmmm.....I'm in her room now, and they weren't planning on moving me into my own place until a week from then. She won't be working, but meanwhile, where will I sleep and what will I do with my stuff? We talked to Choi, our boss, about it, but he's doing the best he can to rush the apartment hunt. He says I might be able to move the middle of next week. Not soon enough. I hate knowing that I'm gonna have to do something with all my stuff and be a transient for a few days. He mentioned me coming to his house, with his family those couple of days after Nadiya comes. We'll see, I suppose. I just wish it could all be over with though and I could finally completely unpack.
