In my class I have three props, one is called the English Bear. Before I start each class I take him and throw him at certain students, ask them a random question, and have them answer. The students enjoy it though sometimes they need help answering the questions. My next friend is the Mr. Wiggles. He is a footlong wooden stick with a horse head. You see, corporal punishment is legal here in the big K so the teachers carry these sticks. Unfortunately, because of my US citizenship I cannot hit students so I bought this funny looking stick that does not add to my authority (probably lessens it), but its funny. Whatever. My next friend is Mr. Squirt. He is a small elephant-shaped watergun (we got into some trouble today). He tends to wake up students and say hello to kids that can't keep their mouths shut. So far, the kids have enjoyed all three of my buddies, and I enjoy using them.
As for the school pics. As you can see, it is hard to get pictures of girls because as soon as you pull out the camera they either turn the other way or put their heads down. I actually had to sneak some pics. I also keep forgetting to take my camera to class so I only have pictures of maybe 3 classes.
So, me and Mr. Squirt went on a rampage today, doing our best Dick Chaney impression by shooting up people by accident. Well I ran into some students (the 2 individual photos above) that had their own sawed-off squirties and we went at it, Ok Corral style. These are two students I always play Ping Pong with. They don't speak much English but me and the one kid always go back and forth debating who the "ping pong" king is. Mad fun. So we faught for about a good 20 mins. Water was everywhere, and I kept thinking that my behavior was not teacher-like, but we did not get caught so, shhhhh.
In addition to the English Bear, Mr. Wiggles, and Mr. Squirt, I now have some Korean friends which, apparently, is not easy. A few are from Church and some others are girls I met from the nurse's daughter (if you remember that story). Its been real nice hanging out with them even though they might be a lil bit older (24, 25). Things are good right now. More school pics are to come. Holla at your gwolla. I know, this post was kinda weak.

Hahahaha you are WILDING OUT with your three amigos...I love the idea though. Sounds like you wouldve been a very fun teacher to have in grade school (that is the level they are in right? who knows with us azns we could be in college and u not know)
Keep up the good work it looks like alot of fun over there, over here im too stressed with all the crazy news it has become an overwhelming distraction (for me at least). My saving grace is in the end I get to laugh at the comedy that is John McCain and Sarah Palin, which is counterbalanced by the fear that they actually could take the White House
Im Pajo and I approve this message
