I wish they had Homecoming in High School

I now have internet in my apartment! I have no idea how I survived so long with out it. I am WAY too addicted to technology. However even with my internet, I don't know how often I'll write. I'll try to do it at least once a week in an attempt to cut down on the length of my entries.

Anyways, I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL. It is the best two days of my work week. My reasons:

(1) The students are not ever disruptive during class, they are SUPER engaged, and so friendly. I walk down the halls and have pleasant conversations with my students. I don't know if they are still fascinated by my " new foreign-ness" or if they actually do love me.

(2) The school lunch is 284985329 better than at the Middle School, they have a nutrionist on the payroll to plan out the meals everyday. The food is organic & amazing, the only exception is the days they serve mini hot dogs with sardines, it seems to happen more often than it should. They always serve rice, two main dishes, kimchi, and SOUP.

(3) My Co-Teacher AKA my Korean Mom. She leaves chocolate on my desk daily & I'm not talking about Korean chocolate, I'm talking American chocolate. She is like my own candy dispenser. In addition to candy, she gives me gum, crackers, and KOREAN BLUEBERRIES (which are much better than North American ones). Last week she arranged a special dinner for me with world famous Pyeongchang beef and some speciality pear wine that her mentor made for her. It was AMAZING - the beef never gets frozen & it is SO tender. I've never had better beef or pear wine (granted, I've never had pear wine before). This woman makes my week better, I adore her (however she does not compare to my mother at all - shes DA BEST).

(4) The High School staff treat me like a person, not a child - I'll go into that more next time.

Basically, life is going well. I'm slowly getting into a routine during the week & I am planning on traveling almost every weekend. I get a very good chance next week as it is Korean Thanksgiving and I get six days off! I'll post pictures soon.
