So my daddy reminded me again of my blog slack, so I decided to buck up a bit tonight. Last weekend was super busy. First off, Friday....it was one of my student's last day at SLP because his family is moving to Seoul. I didn't feel like teaching much, so I decided to take my class downstairs to Lotteria (which is like McDonalds) and have an ice cream party. We had a lot of fun and Tony (the boy who's leaving) was sure happy. He cried a little when he said goodbye and I will miss him even though these last few days with just 10 students has sure been great!! :)
My Pooh Bears waiting for their ice cream!!
Me with some of the kids. Elliott on the right is looking especially good!!
And here's Tony... he's the one who has left us!! We will miss him and his gongshowness!
I really have tried not to pick favorite here, but it's hopeless. Little Annika has stolen my heart!
This is Jasmine teacher. She helps me in my gym class and although her English isn't real strong, she is seriously such a sweet gal!! We have a lot of fun laughing and playing with the kids in gym.Saturday morning, Hayli and I headed to Itaewon to book our tickets for Beijing. We had to get some passport photos taken and the Korean who did it was a real work of art. Hayli and I didn't even try to hide our laughter from the awkward things he was doing. He kept trying to fix Hayli's cowlick on her bangs for like 3 minutes and finally she said laughing "it really isn't gonna move" haha Then he was tring to adjust her shirt and got a lil uncomfortable with that.. I was just laughing on the side :) AND THEN.... WE BOOKED OUR TICKETS!!! We leave on Tuesday, July 28 at 9:25 a.m. and we are in Beijing for 5 days and 4 nights... we are sooooo excited and ready for vacation. This is what our schedule is like. We arive in Beijing at 10:40... from there we will go to a Chinese Circus show and dinner at a duck restaurant (which lynz said is not very good at all... we will see how that goes :)) Then on Wednesday we have a full day tour of the Great Wall of China.. including Ming 13 tombs, Hutong tour, bu lou, drum tower and shishahai lake area... I love how I sound like I know these places, but the only one I really know even just a little about is the Great Wall :) On Thursday we have a full day tour of the Forbidden City.. including the Tian'anmen Sauare, summer palace, dinner at Taejok Folk Restaurant and sightseeing at teajok folk show. On Friday we have a free day to do whatever we want... and I'm sure we will find some fun things to do.. oh Saturday we have the morning to do whatever and our flight leaves at 6:45 p.m. which is nice cuz then we have Saturday to play around too... so yah... I'm pumped to the max about this trip!!
Ok so back to my busy weekend. We came back from Itaewon and had to teach for 5 hours at school because our director and other SLP directors went on strike on Wednesday just for elementary classes. I don't know why they called it a strike because they made up the classes on Saturday but whatever. We got paid extra. I made $120 for doing classes and it was actually pretty fun too.
I rushed to Seoul after to hit up a Cafe Rio dinner party at Mitch's house, which was super fun!! It's so nice to just get away after a week of work and hang out with good, fun friends!!
On Sunday, Elizabeth, Dai, Diana, Bob, AJ, and a new investigator Rachel all went to PJ's for dinner. It was so fun to have PJ back and hang out at his house again. We had a great meal and played scripture scattegories... where AJ and I were partners and won the game woot woot. Then PJ had us all write 2 things nobody knows about us on two separate pieces of paper. So we all did it and then he'd call up 3 individuals to come up to the front and he'd read one of the papers and whoever was standing at the front had to try to convince everyone that it was their piece of paper/story. So we played it for a while and it was a lot of fun. The last paper, he had Diana, Liz and I standing at the front and he said "I'm reading this straight from the paper... I made out with 3 guys in 2 days".. we all were trying to act cool about it because we had to convince everyone that it was us... so all three of us came up with these intense stories and on the inside we were all thinking who would write that on a Sunday afternoon infront of all these people and admit to doing something soooo crazy... so we had all finished our stories and PJ asked the crowd who they thought it really was... and then PJ says 'HAHA I JUST MADE IT UP!!!!" brat!! but we were all laughing pretty hard about it. It was really a great night.
And that was my weekend. I'll do an update on this week later, cuz I have to get some pics off of Liz before I wanna blog about it hehe... Till next time... :)

I love da BLOG!!!!! Oh, andy our mom doesn't know you too well, does she? "Don't forget your camera". She reads you like a book. Of course, so do I, which means that it is as great a possibility now that you'll have some screwup with the camera (like: thought I forgot it but it was actually in my purse...). thanks for blogging kiddo, it makes my day.
