Student Letters

Before I left my school, my students wrote letters to me... Some of them are pretty insightful...

...

Your nickname is Salmon

This animal is child -> go sea

but adelt -> go back.

You, too,

Some text messaged me. They are just so cute... *sigh*

S: 데비 지금까지 가르쳐 주셔서 감사합니다. 시유 데이 굿바이

(Debi, thank you for teaching me up 'til now. (And, in Hangeul,) See you day. Good bye.)

Me: thank you! you're so kind! but who is this?

S: my lee chang hee

Me: 이창희 땡큐! (Lee Chang Hee, thank you!) ^^ you are a good boy

S: good boy

Some letters came with pictures too.

"Special Bonus: Comic story~"

My sentiments exactly. ㅠ.ㅠ

Finished!

I made it through the year! Finished teaching today. Said my goodbyes and took a 5 hour bus ride to Chuncheon (which was shorter than I thought - thought it was going to be 6...). Am back in Chuncheon where I started my year in Korea. Although for the past month or so, I have not thought past 4:50pm today. Right now, it's still Tuesday, July 14, 4:50pm to me. But I miss my students already. (;_;)

More later.

Maybe.

Doh!

So, I totally meant to make a blog entry before July 1st, but I guess that didn't happen...

Well, now that I procrastinated this much, why stop? (Or, why start?)

To give a very brief update though, after deciding to extend, I changed my mind and decided to go home. (Long story, which may or may not be explained later.) So I'll be Stateside sometime in August! Yay!

Well, I guess after a month and a half, this must have a been a very satisfying entry...

More later! >.<

Homework

After correcting 4 classes of 5th grade's homework (read: over 120 notebooks) in the past 2 days, this one made me laugh.

Lesson 4: What a nice day!

Homework assignment: Make a story or role play using "What a ____ ____!" (5+ sentences)

Student's response:
"I went to the park with my friend.
I: What a nice day!!!
f1: What a beautiful flower!!!
f2: Oh! What is this?
I: What a big DDONG (-> 똥)!! (=What a big piece of crap!)
f1: Oh! No!

He met the assignment requirements. Creative. Hilarious. The grammar was perfect too.
