Last week I finished my winter class with the 2nd and 3rd grade students. It was cool for the most part, and I think the students enjoyed the class. To begin they all chose they names out of a hat which I purposely made ridiculous (we had Abe Lincoln, Smeagles, Bob, Obama, Snoopy...) The highlight of the winter camp was having the students write some of my friends and family from America. They were very excited and I could tell that this experience was one they would take with them for a long time (hopefully for a lifetime). Also, my friends were very willing and also excited to have a Korean pen pal. Its what's hot right now in the streets. I enjoyed having a smaller class (20 heads) where that understood much of what I said. It was straight. Good times, good times.
Now I am at a college teaching teachers. At first I was a bit apprehensive for I didn't know what to expect. Would me being young matter to them? Was I ready to teach teachers? Would what I teach be too easy for such advanced students? In addition, the lady running the program gave me little to no information on the program (and I learn something new everyday). However, the first two days have been very fun. Having a class that understands almost everything is a nice change of pace and I have many characters in the bunch. I had them do an activity where they could only take one thing on an island and there responses were quite funny. The list included: a fishing rod (the man also said he would talk to the fish), a pen (so the wife could write her husband because she found a new boyfriend on the island), 6 Bibles (5 in the same class, imagine the fun we had....), a computer (that is solar-powered, water-proof, and has unlimited energy that, coincidentally, has the Bible on it), a knife, 4 Mp3 players, and 2 moms. I forget the rest. It was quite funny and interesting to see what people would bring, but their reasons were the real delight. One class is very quiet though, but that's ok.
Tonight, I played some ping pong with the teachers and this lady that claims she had never played before (yea ok...everyone has played ping pong in this country) straight up played like Uncle Phil in the pool hall with Will. "Jeffery, bring out Luicille!!" She def. knew how to thrown down but kept denying she had ever played before. Characters, characters. Well, I'm singing off, already past last months quota (and video posts do count as posts Nick). Peace ya'll.
Oh yea, how could I forget?
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
