Made My First Million

I'm rich!

Ok, not exactly, but technically I do now have over a million... won. Which equals absolutely nothing close to a million USD.

Luckily, it will be convenient having a bank in my building. Maybe next pay day I'll have direct deposit? Maybe? Yeah, counting this much money was definitely  pain in the behind, you'd think there'd be a larger bill than 50,000... and you'd think I'd at least gotten a couple of them. Oh well. Considering last month flew by, it makes me feel good to know what I'm actually doing here.

I'm also starting a list of things I want to leave with (physically or emotionally... or whatever) thanks to Naomi who had a great list herself.

I can't wait to start saving! I know what I want, and I plan on getting it.

Plu... "teacher, how do you spell plu?"

"Is that English?"

"Yes teacher, plu."

"What does it mean? I really don't think it's a word."

"Plu is English! Sick."

"Ohh, flu... f-f-f-flu."

"No, plu."

Haha, this was about a 5 minute conversation today between me and two of my students in one of my afternoon classes. I'm assuming "p" and "f" get mixed up often, especially when I heard one of my students call a phone a pone. Oh well, I can't say much... they know more in English than I do in Korean.

Speaking of flu... all our kindergarteners were sent home today because around three or four students at my school have or have had swine flu. I spent half my day doing a whole lot of nothing, and took a little bit longer lunch and enjoyed the peacefulness of Starbucks for a while.

I'm anxious to see how many parents send their kids to Gerstung tomorrow. It seems most parents freak out about the flu already, let alone knowing some kids actually had it. It might be another easy day...although it goes by a lot quicker when I'm teaching.

Well, fingers crossed I don't get it... that would blow...
