So here is more of the teaching update. I am teaching little kids like 4 years old!! They remind me of Jamie sometimes, so that is cute, but a roomful of them, when you are actually trying to teach them something...the cuteness factor doesn't really go very far. I am also teaching 7 year olds and then a bunch of 'elementary' classes, which are kids from 9-12 I think. I just kinda have them do these vocab and memory sentences. I feel like I am training robots, or people for the army, there is so much drill work. However, I enjoy those kids because they actually joke around with me and seem to have fun in class, but still pay attention without me doing acrobatics to get their attention.
I came here to make money, lose weight, travel, meet people, find the divine, and figure out what I want to do afterwards. I fear that I will not accomplish these goals. I want to think that I am stronger than that, more intent and driven, but I fear that I am a pushover and easily effected by others. I feel as thought this year will kind of prove who I am, but even then there are always chances to change.
I went to a church on Sunday, but it was all in Korean. Afterwards the pastor's daughters came over to talk to us, it was really nice. They want to get together to do some tourist stuff and have dinner and who knows! So that is really nice. We hadn't met any 'church-folk' here yet (mind you, we haven't been advertising). I want to check out some temples and the sort, but it is not so easy to find them as Korea is now mostly Christian.
