2. Day 2 of midterms. Thought it was funny when one student caught on to my little trick. You see, I had prepared them in advance with 20 possible interview questions. They had to pick 5 random chopsticks from my glass. Each chopstick had a number on them. Mind ya, before hand, I had omitted three questions and added doubles of some of the harder questions. Only one student noticed… he counted the chopsticks during the interview and counted 23…. Ha, ha, ha.
3. Got kind of frustrated with my first class today when they tried to play all dumb. I asked them if they got my email I sent them… all 200 of my students actually. They said they didn’t understand it… didn’t understand it?! I had totally gone out of my way to get it translated into Korean and then I typed it up!!! I tried to laugh it off though and so I asked them what language I should use next time… Chinese? French?... holy lazy students!!!
4. Feeling a bit stressed with having to interview 200 students and mark their workbooks. I wish I could just focus on my work this weekend but it’s Gangster Boy’s last weekend in Korea and I already have plans for Saturday night. Looks like a very stressful Sunday is in store for me this weekend… great!
5. I consider myself a really relaxed and understanding professor at Dankook but today my students totally pushed the limits. I had told them that they could have free time while I did interviews in the hall but all I asked was for them to keep the noise down. Well… that didn’t happen and so I was so not impressed.
6. Students kept on coming in and out of the classroom and so finally I stopped and said the exam was over. Students freaked… some still hadn’t had their interview with me. I had just spent the last 4 straight hours interviewing and so I just wanted to go home.
As a result, I’ll have to go in early to work on Thursday to finish the interviews… great!7. What better way to unwind and relax than heading off to Mainz for a huge meal with my favourite Korean. He had picked me up at school and so I was so happy to see him. We went to Mainz where there’s a waitress who’s always so sweet to me and so tonight she sent us over some free cider and a huge plate of mushrooms. I love mushrooms… and apparently she remembered that! Cool!
8. Got word tonight that one of my high school teachers, Mr. Krawetz died today in the morning. I don’t know the cause but my heart definitely goes out to his son Pierce who I was friends with in school.
9. Oh my gosh… I almost forgot! Yesterday I got a package in the mail; I was so super excited. Thanks to my little sister Jane for the TOTALLY AWESOME Harajuku Girl wallet! It’s so pretty!
Jane isn’t really my sister but in my heart she is. Jane is my Korean sister. She knows my favourite singer is Gwen Stefani and so she surprised me with a wallet from Gwen Stefani’s clothing/accessory line…. So cool!!! Along with the wallet she had sent a super sweet note and some cool stamps that she designed, awesome! Thanks soooooo much Jane, you rock!!!10. Initially intended on doing some studying tonight but the extent of my studying consisted of opening up my textbook and then falling asleep on the floor… oops!
