Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Here in Korea, it's already my birthday! And it isn't a thousand degrees outside with 400% humidity, which is a great present to me from mother nature! :) Seriously, I nearly melt every day! I walk about 25 minutes to school everyday and am sweating just from the humidity by the time i get here. And my normally VERY straight hair now gets all fuzzy and wavy... no bueno!
Anyways, Luke and I are going to sushi tonight for birthday dinner, YAY! And we move into our house today too. What fun! But, we have no furniture yet.... oh well. It's like camping, I guess, only not outside, and we have a shower and kitchen and all the amenities. :)

ahhh, middle school

well, i've survived my first two days of school. i've decided that middle school kids are a far different breed than high schoolers. eighth graders are a far cry from freshmen.
they tried to trick me already! i was doing names and they tried to switch around on me. well, i am smarter than them and i caught them in their little game. hahahahahaha
i am just thankful i don't teach any 6th graders. the other music teacher has all of them, yay! they are SCARY! so immature. i have my prep period while he teaches them in my room, and i just know i couldn't handle them. they never stop fidgeting and talking! i don't think i would last.
my classes were pretty fun overall. although one smarty farty kid thought i was 37! i nearly fell out of my chair! i survived!
and they ALL want to play the clarinet! WHY!!!!!!! i have tried to assure them that low brass and bass clarinet are awesome instruments, but i'm not sure they are convinced. i'll keep working on it!
oh well...... the adventure continues.......
