Man, I feel like I haven't written my blog in awhile but I seem to have gotten so busy!! It is a good kind of busy because most of the activities I am busy with are for pleasure! :-) This weekend I was invited to cheer on the Changwon volleyball team in their tournament in Masan. Saturday we went to the tournament around 8 am and they had games at 10 and 1. It was a lot of fun. They had an opening ceremony...which was really cool to experience! I could not understand a word but I still thought it was awesome!! I loved cheering them on...I was one of 3 foreigners and we were all supporting the same club!! These two foreign exchange students from Russia play as well! They are very young and shy but it was fun for them too! Changwon won both matches and so they advanced on to the next days play! After the matches we went to watch the team they would be playing the following morning. The other team was very good and had a lot of young strong players on it. :-) The guys were tired from playing and it was time to eat! We drove back from Masan to Changwon and ate samgyupsal! It was very delicious!! Drank a little soju and beer and went home! I was so exhausted!!! I got to talk to mom and dad when I got home since I would be going to the volleyball in the morning I wanted to talk to them once this week!! That was very nice! After that it was time for me to go to sleep! I was so tired. I went to sleep really early!! I woke up to a COOL morning!! The weather has been absolutely beautiful! It is starting to turn to the fall! :-) Joon Han picked me up at 8 and we were off to another day of Volleyball!! Their first match was at 9 am. They did not play well the first match and were very frustrated with the setter. He kept sending the ball over the net or they were super tight. The second game they played much better but still couldn't pull out the win! After the match we went back to Changwon to eat Sashimi and drink Soju. I love eating sashimi here in Korea. It is so delicious!! I posted a picture of all of us at lunch! :-) It was a great time!! After lunch we went walking around the market and Joon Han bought me some rice cakes! They are so good!! :-) I now really look forward to my thursday nights because this group of people are so kind and welcoming to me! I really feel a part of their group! It is a lot of fun!!
As for school....I am finished with half of my classes today. :-) Thank goodness! I only have 2 more to go! I have finished my lesson planning for the rest of the week so I am basically going to be sitting for the next three days! :-) When I go to my other school I will have to do a bit more work because not all of my classes are on the same lesson like here at Bonglim middle school but that is ok. I feel like I need to work more than I do but there just isnt anything for me to do! haha! Really wonderful problem I think! My students have their midterms coming up and for that entire week I will not have classes!! :-) SWEET!! I am very excited about that!! It will maybe give me some time to catch up on my korean lessons!! :-) I made it a goal to learn korean so I can communicate with my new friends!! Oh yeah....I am going to buy a new computer today....They are very cheap here and since my computer is not working the way I want it too......I have to buy a new one! I am going shopping after lunch to look at the shop with my coteacher. I just need something that will run itunes and will run my wireless router so I can use my I pad! :-) Ok it's lunch time now....Hopefully we are eating something good!! :-)
