Out with the old, in with the new!

First, let me thank my friends and family who responded to my last post, I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. I will certainly try my best to keep you updated on my adventures and stories in this ass backwards country.

Second, I just uploaded over 150 new pictures, so check them out.

Finally, the new school year begins in March here (having no summer break is cruel if you ask me) so I got a new class on Monday, called K Lion.

They are a group of ten 7 year olds who have never been to an English school before. Obviously, I have my hands full. I inherited my previous class in their second year, so they knew a decent amount, but these kids insist on speaking Korean and are dumbfounded that I dont know what they are saying. I guess its the same for them because all I speak is English and am amazed that they dont know the phrase 'sit down.' They also do things like point to their crotches when they need to go to the bathroom or just leave the room when I turn my back. Today was the first day so Im sure things will get easier and hopefully I will have the whole bunch soluting me when April rolls around.

On a side note, the best kid from my old class, who was a model student and never gave me any problems peed himself in front of his new teacher today.

Be easy yall.
