These both were typed on my phone. There may be a few mistakes. I just wanted to try the app.

The day went quickly.  Nothing much exciting. I had a tear up in France. No big surprise. It passed quickly luckily and wasn't a tantrum. Australia and Denmark both passed quickly.
My afternoon Canada class was good. Actually really good. I often complain about how its tough for me going straight from kindy to first grade with no break at all. I'm tired and have no energy. The kids don't like being at school because its boring so they do not act like good students. After I found out that so many of the did not like being there I told them I would make it more fun. I tried. I was failing...
Today when I walked in the desks were in a semi circle instead of just 2 lines. It was a stage looking area. David the one that gets to rowdy in class was not there. Figured I could try something out. If you know me, there is a good chance that you know I love to sing, though if you know that you probably also know I am horrible at it. But what did I do? I sang, danced and moved all over in the area in the middle of the semi circle. I was still really tired.... But the kids laughed, smiled, and were having fun. I fought that feeling of being tired. And or worked great. Most of the kids did their work. A complete 180 from the normal class. Me not having energy and being tired was no excuse to take away Eric teacher from the students.
There was a street food cart set up by bobo and Ama and I tried it. They had 순대 (soondae) which is Koreas version of blood sausage. Is very popular. The cart had all sorts but the 2 that stood out were the kimchi soondae and meat soondae (all soondae is made with meat... So we did not understand the name). Both were incredible. Ama and I each got one order and we shared.
After work we played settlers... Though we made it into a drinking game. We made it through one game and stupidly we began another. The second game one of the people quit, another got tired of playing, so it was just me and Ama... So we all just ended the game. While we were there a Korean that Ama knew walked by. This guys party trick I'd chugging a bottle of soju. So I got to see that.
We all went up stairs because of a field trip tomorrow with the kindy kids.

Field Trip day. Today was water gun fight field trip. Basically we take all of the kids to a park. There were 4 groups (made up of 3 classes each). The kids got to have water gun fights. I group at a time. Whole 1 group was fighting the others got to draw, have snack, and play. There were no crappy posed pictures. The kids got to play and had fun. Some of the kids wrote knee pads and elbow pads. Others didn't. There was a bit of crying because anytime you have kid running, kids will fall and they will skin their knees.
The guns were small. So the first group that did it, the kids constantly had to run away from the sink to fill up their guns. Well... I decided to fill up the big container they used to bring the guns in with water. Make a refill station right next to where the fight took place. Amazing and everyone liked it! It was used for the rest of the groups.
I wrote a black shirt to the fight... I had a blue OKC Thunder shirt on under it. I took off the black shirt in the eastern fight with my classes. I figured it would be more fun for them to see the water damage on me. It was a hit. Needless to say I got drenched. But it was fun.
We got back to ecc. Tired, worn out and wet. I had 2 kindy classes to teach. They went by quickly. Next was Canada. The desks were in a line and I was tired and still wet. The class stated boring... Then I had the kids move the desks in a semi circle again and fought through the being tired but singing and being active. It worked again today.
Erica was back in Korea class. She does seem less stressed note that there is another girl but I still worry about her. Angel is fitting in nicely. When I get her to laugh it is contagious. The other kids will laugh too. Erica giggles. Sometimes she is about ready to have a good laugh but she stops herself. Still working on her.
At night Ama, Rob, Taylor,  Hudson, Sarah and I all went to pizza school to get dinner. We were going to eat outside of the GS,  but all of the tables were taken. We all just retired to our rooms. I watched Cool Runnings while I ate my pizza. Love that movie!
