Mmm. I just had the BEST chicken sandwich ever. I also bought 8 pairs of socks tonight…so I can postpone doing laundry for another week. There’s a woman outside our school who sells socks every Wednesday and Thursday. Today, I couldn’t resist.

yes, it’s been a slow news day in my world……..

We decorated for Christmas on Friday night. We made eggnog and played Bing Crosby’s White Christmas CD. We’ve got a little tree, and some lights and some stockings. It looks pretty festive (If you forget that it’s sunny and 13 degrees outside.

This afternoon I spent my time at the clinic, and got a shot in my butt and 6 pills to take 3x/day for 2 days. The clinic and the drugs cost a total of 4,500 won (about $5). I’ve got a really sore throat…I think it’s strep throat. nasty. ouch. ouch. ouch. ouch.

I got arrested yesterday.

By a 5 year old boy.

I walked into my ‘Tiny Talk’ kindergarten class, and Julius came roaring up to me making siren noises, grabbed my wrists saying “Teacher…me…policeman”, dragged me across the room and pantomimed locking me in jail. Luckily, Laura staged a daring jail break and freed me so I could teach the class.

The above scenario was a deviation from their normal greeting – which involves drawing a graveyard and ghosts on the whiteboard, turning off the lights and hiding under the table. Then, when I come in, they all make “spooky” noises, and shout “Happy Birthday!”.
