Just in time...

I got to school early today, hoping to have some time to look over my lesson plan and check my e-mail! Unfortunately, I got here just in time to break up a fight between a 4th grade boy and a 6th grade girl! (As a side note, the idea of "boys shouldn't hit girls" doesn't really exist in Korea! It's more of a free for all!) Anyway, their classmates were all standing outside the door to the classroom while the 2 of them went at it inside. "Miss Alexis, Help!" was the first thing I heard when I turned the corner to my hallway... I threw my stuff down and entered the firing zone!!

I softly yelled, "Ya! Ya!" which means, "Hey!" then I separated them and made them sit on their knees with their hands in the air! I apparently didn't get there fast enough because the girl had a fresh black eye! She probably deserved it! She's a real B! I stared them down for about 2 minutes, as tears rushed down their cheeks! (No Korean student wants their teacher to stare them down.) Once I felt like I had adequately embarrassed them infront of their classmates, I sent them back to their classrooms, and that was the end of it!
No principals office, no detention, just a simple stare from me is enough punishment for them!

Boracay, voted #1 beach in the world!!

... and I'm gonna be there in July! That's right, for 14 days, I'll be relaxing on the white sand beaches, snorkeling in the crystal clear water, eating delicious Phillipino food, and probably reading books, while sipping on my 20 cent diet cokes!
I'm doing it EAT, PRAY, LOVE style, since I'm going alone!
I'm excited for the chance to travel alone and see what experiences it brings! :) I did my homework, and found an incredible deal! I saved myself over $300!! For a measley $458.00, I'll be on my way to Paradise and back!
It's moments like these that I realize how lucky I am to be living here in Asia, and how much I was meant to travel! I just can't get enough of it!
I still can't believe I get to go to places like this for my vacations!

Music Monday!

Group Name: GIRLS GENERATION
Song Name: OH!

If you didn't think Korean girls were cute before... Think again!

Korean Commercials...

This is one of my favorite sets of commercials right now in Korea! It's for a won cashing place (which is basically like an American check cashing place!)
It's a 2 part commercial... ENJOY the craziness!



The Down Side

Aaron snapped this picture of Togi today,
with her trail of poop and said,
"This is the downside to having a rabbit!"


Then I snapped this picture a couple minutes later and said,
"This is the downside to living in Korea
and being prescribed cough medicine
that looks like rabbit poop!"
I've only taken one dose, because it tastes and smells so gross!


As you can see, Togi is MUCH more interested in her poop
than I am in my medicine!
