Entry 32: December

I know that it has been quite some time since my last post, and I probably have lost a considerable amount of readers because of the lack of consistency (according to J Lee, only three people read my blog, so I guess that means that there are 2 of you left).

Update: This Thanksgiving was most random Thanksgiving that I have ever had in my life, and hopefully ever will. I had a great dinner with Grace, Ahyoung, and Michelle at some buffet. It was nice just to sit down and just enjoy myself at a table full of food and company.

Last Friday I had dinner with my teachers where we ate loads of pork and just had a good time laughing and talking to each other (I've built up some decent relationships with the teachers so these times are awkward). They are all great people. It is funny though, how when I see them outside of school or outside of class, its like I am interacting with completely different people. I would say especially the 1st grade teacher. During class she rarely speaks to me and sometimes I feel like I'm getting the cold shoulder, but as soon as we are out of class she is all smiles and even gives me the occasional high five.

Today we had another dinner, but this time the school invited some other people (they were teachers who taught the electives for the after school program, but they didn't come every day like I did, so I never rarely would see them). It was a good dinner and it was nice not having to be in the spot light. It was also interesting how I had become a "regular" in the teachers circle. I knew this was the case as the vice principal went to the after school teachers and said "see you on _____" the certain day, and he turned to me and said something along the lines of "I'm going to beat you in ping pong tomorrow".

Today is December 1. This date doesn't really mean much on its own, except for the fact that it marks the beginning of December which in my minds marks Christmas season, BUT what it does do is give me a reference point as to when Eunice is coming to Korea. 16 more days. 16 more days. 16 more days...

There really hasn't been anything to update on (except maybe the fact that I can touch my toes, almost do the splits, and I've gotten pretty good at ping pong), so I'll just leave the fun stories till after Eunice comes. I plan on making this one of those trips that I will always look back on. I've already gone through the "Korea is AWESOME" phase. I've gone through the "Korea sucks" phase. I've gone through the "Eh, Korea isn't that bad" phase. And I think I'm somewhere in the "Korea is cool, but I just want to go home now" phase. I hope that when Eunice gets here, we can both enjoy the "I don't want to leave Korea" phase so that it would just be that much more fun.

Ok, thats it for now, My blog is boring.... crap....  so much for making a blog showing how exciting my trip to Korea is. (its not that exciting...)
