My 5th floor 친구's!

The co-workers on my floor at school asked me to bring my camera yesterday so we could get some group shots of all of us together before I leave Korea.  I obliged of course!  It's not often that Koreans ask to have their pictures taken you know?!  Gotta take advantage when the time comes! The 7 of us have gotten together every morning at 9:30am for the past year, to sip tea or coffee and hang out together before our 2nd classes of the day.  I really love these 6!

We joke though that we wish the 2 boys weren't around sometimes so it could just be the 5 of us girls!

... Mostly just so we could be girlie and do things like jump around while taking timer photos!  For the record, it was THEIR idea to do a jumping picture... Although somehow I'm the only one in the air - SAD.

It would be an understatement to say that I have been blessed with GREAT co-teachers!  This year is absolutely NO exception!  I love these two girls like sisters and think it's gonna take a while for me to get used to not working with them 5 days a week!


But alas, the end has to eventually come, right?!  12 more English classes to be taught, 4 more tea times to attend and plenty of goodbye hugs to give!

Rock, Scissor, Paper

Just about every decision made in Korea is done with a quick game of rock, scissor, paper, or as the Koreans call it 가위 (kawi=scissors) 바위 (bawi=paper) 보 (bo=rock).  But, if we say it fast, it sounds more like kai-bai-bo.  
All that to say, this morning I came to work and asked my co-teacher, Loola, what the plan was for our classes today.  Her response was, "Just a Movie!YYYEEESSS!!!  We have 3 classes together on Fridays and since only 1 of us needs to be in the classroom to supervise the kiddos during the movie, we decided to play kai-bai-bo. The winner would babysit 1 class and the loser would babysit 2!  I was taught, by some of my students to never throw paper 1st, because you'll probably lose.  So, I took their advice and threw scissors and WON!  So, not only is it Friday, but I only have to babysit 1 class today!  The rest of the day will be spent putting together our 1st ever Osteen Christmas cards and addressing them!  Woot woot!blog-signature
