I am at home for lunch today and realized it is high time I confirm that I am indeed alive. I finished preparing and then giving my final exams last week but then had to do report cards by Wednesday of this week. It kept me busy for a while there but I am glad that is all over with. Only four more days of the intensive schedule and then I am back to being able to sleep in!!!

Maybe I will have a light lunch today. One of my younger students, Joseph, asked me yesterday, "Teacher, could you please go on a diet?" It was cute. I suppose if I was a girl, I wouldnt have maybe thought that but kids are so innocent it does not bother me at all. Besides, I think I've actually probably lost a few pounds since I got to Korea. I don't think I'm in need of a diet just yet! Most Koreans my age are even skinnier than I am so that must be where the question came from.

In other news, I lost my cell phone 2 weekends ago. This was a major pain because not only did I have to get a new one but now I also have to make new friends :). What do I mean? The only contact info I had for most people I know in Korea was stored on my phone. People have been calling me and I have been able to get them back in my new phone but I am sure there are several people I will never see again. A city of 20 million doesnt always lend itself to running into friends. People seem to come and go like the wind here anyways so it is not a big deal. I have already been to several going away parties and I am sure there are many more of those to come as well.

I was planning on going skiing this weekend but I got invited to this wedding. I am debating which to do at the moment but I also have next Tuesday and Wednesday off of work so I might opt for going to Saturday's wedding and then going skiing later.
