2. Note to self: scrap the interview idea next semester!!!
3. One of possible the questions on the midterm was “What is your ideal mate?” We had discussed this in great length in class. We had talked about personality, shared interests and whatnot that people look for in ideal mates. But when it came to testing time, most students talked about looks and materialistic things.
4. Apparently most boys in my class think the Korean singer “Ivy” is their ideal mate because she has long legs, is sexy and wild. Whereas, many girls said their ideal mate would have a lot of money and a car. Don’t get me wrong, I was definitely amused but they bombed on that question.
5. Put on my best poker face at the store today when I went to go pick up my necklace and it was so different than what I had ordered. Instead of a cute little name necklace with two stars, the lady handed me this tacky, chunky necklace that looked like it was straight out of some gangster music video. I wasn’t rude about it but instead I told the lady I didn’t like it and walked away. I walked away hoping that she’d stop me, and she did. She came flying around the counter and, within 5 minutes, I was heading out again but this time with a recent for a newly designed necklace.
6. I’m so sick of two-faced people who talk so much about friendship and then turn around and totally ditch their friends because of their own immaturity and selfishness. I think that’s totally disrespectful but you know what, regardless of what I may say or do, people like this eventually DO get dealt with… it’s called karma. What goes around, comes around and so one day, somehow, somewhere, karma’s going to sneak up on them and bite them in the bum.
7. .... and so, the show stops here. Good-bye You.
8. Looks like Kim Tae’s not the only irrational one dropping friends like flies… Wild Child and Giggle Girl are no longer friends. Mrs. Kim told Wild Child’s mom that her daughter’s English was much higher than Wild Child’s (which is only the obvious truth) and this made Wild Child’s mom snap! She pulled Wild Child out of all activities where both daughters participate.
9. Ironically, this is good news for me… very good news. Now it means I’m no longer the middle person between these two and so I can cut myself out of the picture now…. Great!
10. A few months back I had bought a pellet gun at LotteMart just for the fun of it. But the problem is it’s quite powerful and when I shot it off in my house, cause of the hardwood flooring, the pellet bounces like crazy, all over the place. Anyway, Pretty Boy (oh… new name for Mystery Man) found use for it. When ever Mi Nam jumps on the couch or goes near him, he just points the gun at Mi Nam. He doesn’t shot Mi Nam, don’t worry. I know it sounds a bit cruel but I have to admit, it’s super funny to see. Pretty Boy grabs the gun, shakes it and acts all tough and Mi Nam totally responds to it by backing off and calming down… ha, ha, ha.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How's your karma?

I think doing oral interviews was an excellent idea since a lot of your students may have to speak English for a job interview in the future so it's great practice. I wouldn't give up on the idea, but in the past I found that having them talk to each other (with you observing, taking notes, and picking up any slack in coversation) two at a time worked really well. It makes it go so much faster and frees you up to pay attention to their oral skills. Just a thought!
