Let it snow

This is the snow video. It was just flurries, but I still found it necessary to run outside the restaurant and run around like a crazy person. After laughing at me my friends followed and thus the video. In case you dont get it, the song is my snow version of the song sung by Buddy to his dad in Elf. Im not crazy I promise. :D

Ajuma

I dressed up as an ajuma for halloween (an older Korean lady) and went trick or treating. I was laughed at by a Korean man in the elevator but I think he was just jealous of my outfit.

Introducing Mortimer

My failed attempt to get Mortimer's awesomeness on film

Going to get Mortimer

Not really sure why I made this one, but it was supposed to show how scary it is to ride in a taxi in Korea. It didnt, but it is kind of amusing anyway.

My classroom

This is a very exciting video about my classroom. Try to contain yourself.

Sorry sorry

I have really not been doing a good job of this lol. Sorry it has been so long since my last post. It is just normal life now so it feels like there hasnt been anything to talk about really. We had our first snow a couple of weeks ago. It was just a flurry, but of course like a five year old I ran outside to play while my friends laughed at me. I finished my first term on Friday which means all new kids which makes me really sad. I really liked my old ones. We had Thanksgiving today made out of various tiny ovens and food ordered online. It was very delicious, though. I know the Koreans walking down the hall smelled it and wondered what those crazy white people were up to. I still love work which is weird, but the kids are really funny and always keep me entertained. We have yet to be allowed to travel out of the country... January at the earliest. I am really starting to like the food here, which is weird. I am still quite bad with the chopsticks and often have to have a fork brought to me. The whole restaurant will stare and laugh at whitey when you do that. It is funny though. My favorite is when people know english, see that I am white, and feel obligated to talk to me. This happens a lot with little kids on elevators. I met a little 6 year old girl on the elevator that way. Her name was Emily and she used up all the english words she could think of on that elevator ride. I still am horrible with the Korean. Same words as before, but hopefully I will eventually get better. My new pet hedgehog Mortimer is pretty awesome, but I dont think he likes me very much. Gerald thinks he is especially cool and loves to bother him. That is all I can think of for now, but I will write about my first day of the new term later. Love you!
