We ate lunch outside in front of the coffee shop that gets a decent chunk of my income. I had tuna bibimbap . Like most rice dishes, this one is supposed to be eaten with a spoon. I was too lazy, however, to pull out chopsticks AND a spoon. A few minutes into my lunch, one of the baristas came outside, stuck a small plastic spoon in my bowl, and returned to her work.  When I arrived in my first grade class, quiet Shiyoo proudly held out her shiny, gray fingertips for me to see. She used her break wisely to color them with her pencil. Jason did the same but clearly forgot about it. He didn't make it ten minutes before his cheeks and nose were varying shades of pencil gray. 

I never imagined I'd have a favorite subway station, but I do. I'm certainly not the only one who likes it. People even get married in there. Noksapyeong

Because of the no-food-in-class rule, I made Henry put away the remainder of his kimbap. In turn, he walked to the open window, pushed his face as close to the outside as possible, and yelled "My teacher is a green-eyed monster!" We encountered the word "myriad" during vocab class, so I asked if anyone knew what the word meant. One student confidently replied, "it's punctuation." Harry got distracted while taking out a pencil. While everyone else started on the worksheet, Harry held his pencils like chopsticks and used them to rearrange the contents of his pencil case.

We were cutting out and gluing some labels in Science. Instead of throwing away his leftover paper, one of my boys cut it into tiny pieces which he dumped in my pocket.  "Here's dynamite, Teacher!" he proudly announced before scurrying to the other end of the room.

Thanks to Buddha, we had a long weekend. A couple coworkers and I took a 3 1/2 hour bus trip to the East Sea. Should you ever decide to do the same thing, take note that the travel time can double on holidays. We spent nearly 7 hours on the bus. Sokcho Beach
