Another Friday in.

Friday July 12th
Oh Fridays. France class was good. We did science and Cartoon. Ama and I took our classes to watch an Adventure Time... 2 of my girls asked to leave, so I took them back to class. Australia Amy cried because I made her stand up because I wanted her to do a problem on the board, and Emily teared up because her red colored pencil ran out, and we were supposed to be using red. Denmark was good, High energy but I was able to get them to do their work.
At some point, they moved my coffee maker to the teachers room, and even put a table there. In theory it is for snacks etc... but when snacks were brought in earlier in the day... they got put on the paper cutter like they normally are. Hopefully the table gets used for the snacks... it would help the flow of the room.
My firstgraders were wild today. My co-teacher printed paper with our speakers corner questions (speakers corner is just what it is called when the students answer questions in front of the class). So they had to fill those out first. Then they had to do the speaking. I did not feel like a fun teacher during the class.  But anytime I get a little fun with the kids, they get out of control. I need to re-tighten my leash on them.
My 3 graders... I got a little angry with them. I took them to the bathroom... though unbeknownst to me 3 stayed behind in my class. One of them slammed the door several times. Normally it is not a big deal, but Ronnie and Louise where right there. So I had to rush back to class and get those 3 students to rejoin the class. I made the kids that slammed the door apologize to another class. He has done that several times. I needed him to learn he cannot do that. So I get everyone back to class and lecture them on how they are not supposed to do and act like that. Though I felt bad later, and will apologize on Monday. The three that stayed did it to hide my books, just to be silly. Normally I would play along with it and I know they expected me to. But since Ronnie and Louise heard the door slam several times... I got the eye from them, so I needed to drop the hammer on the kids. If I would have known their intention I would not have, or I would have done it in a silly way.
After work, I went out and picked up a dry erase board I got on Craigslist. Rob is going to try to start giving us some Korean classes. On the way back, I was gonna take a train, but the train during rush hour is not easy with a big dry erase board. So I took a cab. I was having a hard time getting a cab. A police officer noticed, and came over to help me. He told me where there was an intersection with a lot more cabs. I went and got one instantly. Yay for good cops...
Got home. Was hungry, and nobody wanted anything. It was raining outside so I did not feel like going out. What do I do? Order McDonalds. There is a new burger celebrating McDonalds coming to Korea in 1988. I wanted to get one before it goes away. It was okay. It had the korean red spice sauce. The spice is good, but it is sooooooo salty. (Funny, one of my students said they do not like American food because it is so salty, but there are so many salty foods here-kimchi, ramen, bean pastes....)
I bought bleach earlier this week and am currently doing a load of whites, hoping the bleach whitens them. Im gonna watch a movie then hit the hay. I have to wake up early tomorrow, cause I have training for the Jeju Island Teaching trip. It will take me over an hour to get to the training place. It starts at 9 in the morning. So I am just having a chill night home.
Thats all for now.
