Today was my first teaching day, and it went fairly well. I had the 3rd graders (9th graders), and they were pretty fun. My early early morning class was mainly a period of playing Simon Says and Hangman. They seemed to roughly enjoy it, but were half asleep (as was I). My other classes were fine, and they seemed to enjoy learning about me, my hometown, and my interests. They like to ask "How old are you?" and "Are you married?" when I said I wasn't married they asked "Do you have a girlfriend?" I told them I had 10 of them - that got a nice laugh.
Around lunch time a cute little 3rd grader who is the editor of the school paper asked if she could interview me. Her English was pretty decent, and apparently she is one of the schools top students. I also got my ARC card (Alien Registration Card), so I could now get a debit/cash card from Woori Bank. After school I went down to the bank and got the card, which is great now that I don't have to carry so much cash with me and can now get a cell phone. I also got my reimbursement for my airfare $1.1 million won! Who wants to me a millionaire??? - Not me, I already am!
I think I might be getting sick though, either that or those damn seasonal allergies are kicking in. It's a good thing I stopped by Kim's Club and picked up some OJ!
