you get cool random presents! It's a cute little (and by little I mean big) handkerchief (why does this word look so funny? Google say it's correct...) In case you can't read the note, it says "I love you Amanda." with a heart and a smiley face.
I'm not going to say much, because it was really nice of her to give me this... but mom must have been watching the classroom camera from online the past two weeks. Presents do work, however, in winning me over. I won't lie.
What to do with crying kids?
I like kids... and I feel really bad when they cry, but I never know what to do! I hugged one of the little girls one time while she was crying, and she wiped her snot all over my sleeve. It seriously grossed me out. So, now I stick to patting backs and getting tissues. But what the heck do you say when a kid cries because they've been goofing off with another kid and get elbowed in the eye? Especially the ones who can't even speak English. I probably look terrified when they come to me crying and speaking Korean. Yikes.
Electronics...
I want an Itouch and E-reader, but don't know where to get them. Anyone know? Anyone...?
Imagine all the people...
living for today. Yes, John Lennon was playing when I left the subway station today, and it made me really happy. It made me even happier that a Korean guy was standing there singing along with it... the English lyrics. I wonder if he really speaks English or just memorized the lyrics. I guess I'll never know.
I do want to bring country music to my older students one day. They were singing some pop song in class today. Well, it sounded like pop. I love my music and it amazes me how it can totally change my mood.
Speaking of the subway...
it's my place to think. I always think of things I want to write then forget them. Today, I basically thought about where I wanted to stop and buy some cookies. I tried some seaweed thing at lunch today and seriously had to spit it back out into a napkin. There's no way that thing was making it down my throat without every other thing I've eaten today coming back up with it. Awful. Ugh. It grosses me out even thinking about it.
On that note... I'm eating another cookie.
"You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one." -John Lennon
