Best Field Trip Ever!

Hola! Or should I say... Komsamneda!


So I have been back in Korea for about a month since traveling home for Christmas. Those of you who saw me know I really enjoyed my trip back, but I really missed everyone I couldn't see too!


Anyway, since I've been back, not too much has happened. My teaching schedule changed a bit again, but since it does almost every month, this isn't really news (even though I've never blogged about it). I just added a class and Kate and I traded a few of our students with each other. I have 2 big classes now- one with 10 students and one with 8 students. It's so strange having that many kids at once because when I first started teaching here, the most I had was three at a time. Let's just say, I've definitely learned some new classroom management techniques for when I get back to the states, not that I'll need them there haha!


A few Fridays ago, (1/14) we went on a field trip to this water/snow resort/park place. That's honestly the best way I can describe it! It's called Bukgo Hawaii and it has indoor and outdoor pools and water slides, lots or fair rides, and a snow covered hill to go tubing down. It was without a doubt, the BEST FIELD TRIP EVER!! As you can see, Kate and I really enjoyed it as much as, if not more than, the kids. Good times :)





Everyone here in Gwangyang is either on vacation, just getting back, or about to go. It's strange. Those of us here have been hanging out quite a bit in each others apartments and just laying low. Although, we have a few days off (5 with the weekend) coming up in the first week of February for the Lunar New Year, so I wonder if we'll plan anything to do. Also, Lizzie is back today so it will be nice seeing her a lot again! Other than that, things are same-same, as my students say. Hope all is well at home! I'll let you know how this weeks break goes!
