It's raining.
Seriously? It's the beginning of December. It FEELS like it's freezing outside. And yet ... it's 9:51 PM and there's a THUNDERSTORM outside. A legit thunderstorm. Like ... I can see the water coursing down the rooftop of the building outside of my window. This weather is getting a little ridiculous.
Okay. Enough with the lame weather reports. It's confession time. I have a new obsession. Okay. I think I mentioned it before. I'm addicted ... to ... Glee.
Yes, I'm late jumping on the bandwagon. Now I'm catching up. Thank you, Randy, for supplying me with all of season 1 and thus enabling my addiction. It's the singing. The singing is amazing. For example, right now, Finn is singing "I'll Stand By You" ... ... ... ... ... amazing.
Okay. Really. I'm done now. Next week is finals - my students are CRAAAZY stressed. Well, some of them appear to be. Others grab me in the hallways just to chat. I've supervised study periods where the entire class diligently studies for an hour (although during the last five minutes I make them close their books and just relax ... it's okay, they already know I'm crazy), and I've also had study halls where I've ended up playing charades with some of the students in the back of the room. Anything to help them relax, haha.
I finished calculating my grades an hour ago - aigooo. Headache = major. I actually had finished doing them six hours ago ... or, at least I that I had. Then, I ran into Young-Joon. Young-Joon who, bless his heart, had sent me an email yesterday WITHOUT HIS ASSIGNMENT ATTACHED. Honest mistake. So ... I waited. And now I'm done. Hey, guess what - I've been working here for three months now. Wow, has it really been that long already? I'm going to miss teaching my second year students. They're great. I don't know what they'll think about me after they see their grades, haha ... hopefully they'll still like me. We shall see ... ... ...
I've decided that I really like working with high school students. It's really a lot of fun. Maybe a little bit rough in the beginning, but ... really? It's been pretty neat. I feel really lucky to have this opportunity. They're so daaang smart, and we're able to talk about pretty complex things. I've learned so much from them, even in just these few months. Yeah ... I'm pretty lucky.
Gonna meet up with Hyun this Saturday in Seoul ... perhaps a hair appointment should be pencilled in?? Well, actually, it already has been. :) We'll see what happens.
And that's my life. It's taken me two hours to write this while in that time I completed my grades and watched three episodes of "Glee". Now ... it's bedtime.
