PARTY!

So, my first class was pretty awesome.

They threw me a surprise party! I walked in to a countdown to shouting "Surprise!" and then everyone was just beaming at me... the board was COVERED with writing, although whoever did the big writing apparently got tired, because instead of "We had a good time" it says "We had a good". That's a pretty commong phrase here, because the big cell phone company's slogan is "Have a good time", so all the kids of course know it.

They also make me a "cake". This was done by stacking choco pies, chocolate chip cookies and oreos into elaborate and exotic piles, and then sticking barbecue chips into it so that they all stuck out at strange angles.
It was an interesting taste combination, to say the least.
I didn't eat much, because as sweet as the gesture was, I know a little too well the average Korean students track record of washing their hands.

We played a game based on the movie they watched. The game might have been a bit too hard, but luckily it works as a guessing game just as well, so we finished, and they got some more candy, in addition to the pop and chips that they had all brought for themselves.

It was super nice. And again, the pressure is gone, because all we relaly have to do is have some fun, so there's nothing too serious about it. Even the other classes are winding down. The kids have already written their exams, so they're just being given homework for their vacation right now. Yeha, you read that right. Even on their vacation, when they have more classes at hagwons, they have homework to do. Apparently a lot of it!
Poor kids.

Well, I hope this day keeps up, because it will be AWESOME!
