a.delightful.thursday.

***(Post written: 9 March 2012)***

Yesterday was full of excitement! The students were testing, so there were no classes, but that didn't stop the day from being full of laughter and exciting events. Lots of lesson planning in the morning, cute scenes at lunch with two of the special boys at our table, a drunk driver driving his car around the track at school and parking it on the track (during lunch/recess, I might add) and ending up with a 5,000,000 W ticket (so my CT said), checking marking on students' tests... oogling over kim soo hyun (my love) and the drama called the Moon Embracing the Sun (my now favorite, tied with Dream High--which also starred kim soo hyun, consequently enough). As if this was already a fun day at school, after school all the teachers went out to a duck restaurant as a sort of welcoming/new school year dinner. I ate delicious duck until I was completely stuffed, and then we all headed down the street for some noraebang. It was so fun to just be with the teachers OUTSIDE of school and see all their personalities and share in lots of fun and laughter. I spent 6 hours after school hanging out with the other teachers and got LOTS of Korean listening practice until my head felt like it was going to explode from all the input and processing! But, I did consider it a success that I am able to understand so much more conversation that when I started out here. It's encouraging, to say the least. As so....after a long day of work and play, I went to bed with a smile on my face. What a delightful Thursday, indeed. ^^
