So yesterday I had a bit of an interesting day. Fridays are normally pretty scerene, I don't have many classes to teach which is pretty nice, especially after a hard day of a thursday, where I am busy all day. So generally the day was pretty quiet, but after lunch I had the 6th grade and that was good and then I should have had the 5th grade. But as usually most of them were a no-show, just one turned up in fact. He was not terribly bothered about learning any English, plus I had two random 4th graders in my room. We played some random games with the stuff in my room. But then, what happened well, it's rather embarrassing, I ripped my pants, almost in two. At that point I needed some way to cover myself. I was not terribly embarrassed, but still signs of modesty are greatly appreciated as a teacher. So I shooed away my students and had one of the teachers drive me home. I'm going to try and sew them back together when I can get a needle and some thread, but it looks like they may be beyond repair.
Today I wentout to buy some food, I had decided that I would just take the day to do some of the chores in my house that have been mounting up. I had a couple of things to buy and I decided I would brave the market with my tiny amount of Korean. Thankfully I didn't really have to use it, but the prices were pretty amazing, so much cheaper than the shops and those shop prices are generally about half what I would pay in the UK. So I made some pretty good savings on my fruit and veg for the week. I think I may well take to going every week that I am at home for it.
