This week actually went by really fast. Friday we took class pictures. They are going to be super cute. All of the kids and I wore jeans and a white top, and were barefoot. They will be professionally edited and photoshopped. The kids also took individual pictures. Since my kids are in their last year at the school, they had them wear super cute cap and gowns. I also have added pictures of my classroom. Since Christmas isn't such a big holiday here, there are not a whole lot of decorations around. I have taken the liberty to decorate my class to the fullest extent possible. We have snowflakes, snowmen, stockings, Christmas Trees, a red green and white chain going all around the room, and a gazillion pictures the kids colored for "The Grinch." I officially turned my classroom into WhoVille, becuase I was going to do The Grinch for our holiday show (Which was canceled in fear of the Swine Flu). 
Yesterday I finished all my Christmas shopping. I went into Seoul by myself, which I have done before. This time though, I took the bus instead of the subway. The bus goes a lot faster, and there are a zillion different route numbers that go into Seoul. I have taken many with other people. My friends told me that all of the 9400's went the route I wanted (9401, 9402, 9404, 9408 etc...) I guess that the 9407 doesn't though. I ended up on the wrong bus for an hour and a half before I got off and walked a mile to the nearest subway station. I did, however, take a bus back and got back just fine.
Pleas also check out a video of some of my students singing a song from the Sound of Music. All of my girls know all of the songs to Mama Mia and Sound of Music. I made them a CD for the classroom with songs from both movies on it. Here is the youtube link. The best part by far is the first 30 seconds, so if thats all you have time to watch, that would be fine.
10 days until I get home. Here is what I can't wait to do:
- See my family
- Get out of the car when we pull into the driveway and scream "I'm home, come out and see me." Yes, all you neighbors, be ready for it.
- Go sledding
- Make a snow angel, and a snowman
- Sit in front of the fire with Christmas Carols playing
- Get my hair cut (I have been waiting so that I can speak the same language as the person who cuts my hair)
- Go shopping at Target and stock up on basics
- Bake anything in an oven
- Make mashed cauliflower in my food processor
- Watch a football game
- Drive a car
- Eat a meal that doesn't include rice
- Read a newspaper
- Many other things that I can't even imagine now
Love you all
