I think I'm getting sick

For the past few days my throat has been a little irritated. I think my sinuses are draining, which is not a good sign. When this happens my throat starts off a little itchy only to become really sore. I typically get a sinus infection that eventually develops into laryngitis and I can’t talk for about a week. I’m crossing my fingers this does not happen. I would like to keep my healthy streak going. Unfortunately, I had to leave my Netty Pot at home and this country doesn't believe in cough drops....someone send me honey cough drops - I beg of you!

It was field day for my Kindergarten class – we went to the musical Snow White. In my class I have five boys and only one girl. They moved my one girl to another class so she could enjoy field day with some of her friends. One of my other boys did not attend school today, so I was left with four boys. When asked if they were excited to see Snow White, they blankly looked at me and shook their head. You can tell from this video how they could care less about the show…they are the last four boys.


However, many of the other kids did enjoy the show. A lot of the smaller kids (~2-3 year olds) cried when the witch came out – on their behalf, she was pretty damn scary. Some also cried when Snow White died, but again I don't blame them; I could barely hold back my tears. My boys pointed and laughed. I've also inserted two videos so you back in the U.S. can witness a Korean musical (don’t worry they're pretty short videos).




Goals for the weekend:
1. Work on TEFL - I paid about $350 for it, I damn well finish it!
2. Clean and make my apartment more homelike.
3. Attend my first Korean wedding -- I hear there's no open bar or dance, so I'm a little bummed, but it should still be an experience.
4. Get a cell phone.
5. Clean the apartment.
