31 Photos in 31 Days: Day 31

Day 31: Tea-cha I am finished!! Ok I’m way late on day 31 but things got crazy this week. My friend Jamie starts at my school and I was helping her. Also I have been keeping Chad and Chad’s stuff at my place. My apartment was storage central for everyone’s bags. But here is a random picture to finish August! I was the only one who didn’t move this month. This is the stream by my place in Dramatic Tones.

Day 28: Took Kyle to his first cat cafe. I love cat cafes. This little guy slept in this basket the whole time. When you have cat cafes around everyday is Caturday. This cat cafe is close to my place in Donam.

Day 27: Only 4 days to go!! I can’t believe I made it this far. Here are some pretty lights at the COEX mall, one of the largest underground malls in the world. I was gonna post a picture of my Korean teacher, Emma, but I think she might feel embarrassed… but it was a really pretty picture of her.

Day 26: Pajama Day at ECC. The kids and teachers wore pajamas and had this little event in the playroom. They decorated t-shirts and making patbingsu. They all looked really cute in their pajamas.

Day 25: Good-bye Anam. So due to the other dumb-ass foreigners in Chad’s building Chad has to move out. It sucks because we love Anam, it’s become our home away from home. Luckily, Chad is moving to Bomun which is between Donam and Anam. So it puts him between my place and Anam. We’ll still be able to go to Anam and eat and party but it’s going to be more of a hassle…

Tonight’s our last night.

Day 23: Been busy and haven’t been able to get out much. But it’s ok, stay inside, the zombies are coming! The most important thing I tell my students is to aim for the head while fending off zombies.

Day 21: Went to the toy and stationary outlet shops in the Dongdaemun Market to buy some stickers and prizes for my students. Lots of little shop full of color. More shops are open on Saturday than Sunday. But my favorite shops are usually open on Sunday and it’s a little less crowded.

I even saw one kinder student I teach. It’s funny how a kid goes blank when they see a teacher outside of school. They forget all the English they learn and just smile or act shy even though they are the best in the class or very talkative. I guess no matter what generation or age you always think teachers live in the school and never leave…

Day 19: I’m teaching a story/musical to the youngest classes at ECC. The story is called Scary Dino. In an attempt to teach a fun lesson, we took little dinosaur erasers and put them in play dough. Then we had little dinosaur eggs and played a counting/number game. However, some little dinos didn’t make it through the egg hatching process. This was the result.

Day 15: We went to Seoul Forest. Here’s a random shot I got that ended up being fabulous! I love how the light came in through the trees. I also added some saturation and vibrancy to the original picture. I thought it made the forest look more enchanted.

Day 14: On the walk home. Here is a bridge close to my place. There is this great little canal/stream that runs through my neighborhood area. The bridge almost looks like it’s on fire with the street lights glowing.

“Don’t burn your bridges before you cross them.”

Hello Wow!

Day 8: I teach arts and crafts at my school. I teach 9 out of the 10 kinder classes arts and crafts. I love teaching arts and crafts and I try to add a little flair to the pre-packaged craft kits. Mostly to keep myself entertained. This week we added glitter glue to the dragonflies ya know, to fill that extra 10 minutes in class! Here are my 7 year olds’ dragonflies with a bit of artiz Photoshoppin’. I hope you enjoy it!
