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!
