92kg

It's been a week since the last post. A lot has happened since then. Unfortunately, I am absolutely exhausted. I am whiped from teaching and the Seoraksan National Park get away. I can't properly gather my thoughts into coherent words.That means I am only here to quickly update you.


Working backwards:

Today, I received praise from my third grade co-teacher Mi Sun for my lesson plan. The lesson plan wasn't even for the third grade. It was for the first grade. Unfortunately, that glory was short lived since the third graders had no idea what I was doing with my 'Colors and Moods' lesson plan. Back to the drawing board.

Yesterday: I know some of you are wondering if I would gain or lose weight while I am in Korea. I will keep a running tally in the notes section whenever I find out. Anyway, I had not weighed myself since the physical 2 months ago. At that time I was approxiamately 97kg (~214 lbs). When I saw the scale at the jimjilbang in Seorak yesterday I had to check. I am a leaner 92kg (~202lbs). Even my kids and my vice principal noticed (more about how the kids told me next time). I was expecting to lose weight because of all the microbrews and American food I ate during the two weeks before I left the states. I can't believe I am going a year without Wendy's Crack Nuggets. I miss you, American food. Love you~!


Saturday, Seoraksan bus ride. Masses of people, stroll through the woods, waterfalls, nap on rock, mountain berry wine, beautiful pension (hotel) over river, nuisance with a camera, party.

I am losing it. So, let me leave you with this Haiku.
