Just call me Alexis!

Well, it turns out that my name means VAGINA in Korean, so Stella told me "it would be best" if I picked a new name! I couldn't believe it. What are the chances that my name would be one of the most awkward words in Korean, and that I would work at an elementary school, where all the kids would laugh when they head it?!

During lunch the 1st day, the Vice Principal asked me what I wanted everyone to call me. I said, "Miss Alexis please." He looked at me with a questioning eye, so Stella explained the predicament with my name. The teachers all started laughing and said, "We will call you Alexis" in their broken English! The Vice Principal immediately walked up to the schedule board in the teachers lounge and wrote this.
