Work is still good, and so is the food around here. Josh and I made dinner tonight out of some odd looking mushrooms I bought from the market (don't worry, I haven't died yet...), green onions, garlic, kimchi, and some sausage things stuffed with ground up organs and noodles. That sounds gross, but don't be deceived. :) 'Twas scrumptious, mmmm. This past week our middle school students were taking tests, so the schedule at English Island was all messed up, and we all taught classes that we normally don't. I think I'll like going back to my regular classes. One point of worry is that my kindergarteners have a midterm coming up. Yikes! I hope they do well.Anyway, that's about all I have to say. Ok.

Being in YeongJu again
So Seoul was a lot of fun to visit. I definitely feel the lack of bookstores with books in English here in YeongJu, but Seoul has bookstores with a decent supply of them. I didn't buy any, but I was tempted on a few. As it is, I'm borrowing Josh's book about this agnostic that decides to try to strictly follow the Bible for a year and see if he's convinced by the whole experience. He makes it pretty funny, and visits the Amish, a creationist museum, and a bunch of other places that are important to different groups of Christians. So far I'm enjoying it very much. But to get back to the topic at hand, while we were in Seoul, Jennifer, Kirsty, Josh and I ate lunch, visited a Kimchi museum, a big market, Namson (spelling?) Tower, ate dinner, and Kirsty, Josh and I also stopped in at a Noribong karaoke place and sang songs for a couple hours. It was lots of fun, but terribly humid. Bleh.

Kindergartner and midterm just don't seem to go together in my mind. Today, my kids were having their hearing, vision, and separately, reading tested and one of the helpers was talking to the teacher about it. She said, "Well, you shouldn't say they're being tested when you take them out to read or it'll freak them out." Shows you how ridiculous we've become over being careful to avoid putting pressure on about school. They've got to hear the word "test" sometime or it really will freak them out. :P
