Momentous Moments of Mystery and Marvel

I was captured in many wonderful moments today! My rice burned and it was the best thing that could've happened actually!

I cooked a wonderful meal that was rated an 8 out of 10. It was a wonderful way to start my day. Life here comes in Waves like the Ocean. Sometimes Its a psunami and sometimes it gently laps against the shore. I am talking about the stress and demands that come from Room 208? Is that the right number I should check tomorrow, anyways its my directors room.


A harmonious morning left me feeling anything was possible. I didnt care about some things that I normally would have cared because everything is truly fine in my life. I couldn't be happier with how things are going!

Tomorrow is a different day and just like everything in Life its unpredicable.


Work was fast and relatively painless. I am having some difficulty still in the younger classes but I am managing still.
MA1: I didnt know what to do with the material I was going to teach. I am nervous with the kids because they talk in Korean (naturally) and I can't communicate well with them. I use poor english but I can't get my point across

MB1: Same Story just a little older. I can't wait until March so much!!!!!
The boys in that class are going to feel my wrath because I am tired of getting walked over by them. If I had it my way I would make Luis and Mark/Peter/Alexander leave.
Maybe a new textbook and spring start will get them in gear. I doubt it

MC2: Enjoyable bunch. I am going to be happy when OH2 is finished. I am hoping Mr. Jeong has a good plan for them as far as a new textbook is concerned
MC3: This class needs a complete make-over. I blame Carrie her speed and lack of caring has turned the class into a bunch of kids who can't concentrate. Poor Diane she used to be Christina's and now she is horrible. I am happy Molly didnt level up with her because of how Carrie has handled this class.

MD3: Joy luck club....They dont really talk much these days except if its to interupt me. They have no excitement it would seem
Md1: hard to control a few kids. Is Tom a Koji Mar? I dont think so but he lacks control. Kojimar:liar mar: horse moon: door I know my Korean!!

~~~~~~~My moments of Magic
1. When I went to MB1 some of the kids were doing homework and I didnt notice except that Alexander pointed it out. I was angry that he was telling me because it wasn't his business.
*I try to teach life lessons
Dont talk about things that aren't your business. I see some of the students have a genuine interest in learning while others dont. Its my hope to turn their opinions to wanting to care and learn about english or have them leave for ruining my class. I think I may have to call Mr. Jeong more.

Mc2: Angel is a wonderful student of mine. I wish she would be a T class so I could grade her. I want to talk to Mr. Jeong about more change in March.

MD3: Trying Again a chapter that originally scared me but actually was a good life lesson to

Try Again: Dont Quit. Be a Fighter. I told the class that if you have a bad day or get a bad test just try harder. I was being indirect about this because I want the kids to think about life and how to overcome difficulties I talked about me and how I overcame things since being in Korea
and how I think its important to shrug things off. I was thinking primarily of Ann who would later recieve her poor test grade. Ann has gone downhill a little bit to me since she hasnt really done anything lately.
One thing I have a problem with is that I dont think kids really have a chance to be individuals. Its my opinion but everyone does the same thing. They show homework and they have distinctive personality in class but other than an email which no one really does there isn't much way for the kids to distinguish themselves.

I see this a lot when my Ma class ends and the "herd" pushes themselves through the door just to get to class. There is no sense of wait in Korea. Its kind of everyone for themselves. I dont get it. I see kids pushing their way to get into the class faster. In a fast paced society I can understand a little bit but from my point of view its hard to explain.

During my break time I wrote questions on the computer for the new books and drank some mocha coffee at the bank. Its so nice to just relax and enjoy work when their isn't distractions like the arrival of all the kids. They insessant opening and knocking on the door. I also want to go to my boss about this but I also think its best to not say anything at all at times. I am not going to complain about things as much because I know my boundaries.

I know my aspiration and I will work hard to attain that. Nothing else is important its merely a sidestep to avoid. Everyone who knows me well knows where my heart lies and how important it is to me that I work hard in order to see my true dream come true.

My day was a good day and I am going to bed here shortly knowing that I am keeping real busy and still have a lot to do.
I will never forget some of the happenings that occurred before/during/after work because they were magical to me.
I have some events in my life that are memorable and represent a change of heart/changing experience.
