Chill Weekends Rarely Happen!

Friday night I was so dead tired because of being out so late the night before, so school was painful, but luckily it was just grade 3's all day and they are so easy to teach. As soon as school finished I came straight home and was in bed by 7:00 p.m. I slept until 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning and then I got ready to meet Nicole, so we could head to Tahee's hagwon party together. She asked her foreigner teacher friends to come spend a few hours with students at her hagwon teaching them how to bake cookies. It was actually a lot of fun spending the day with the kids and there was great company with my friends that helped as well. Nicole, Duncan, Chris and I worked with elementary aged children who were third graders. Since, I teach elementary and love third grade I was in cooking heaven. However, some of the boy kids were not very well behaved.
Nicole and I reading over the baking instructions before getting started. I'm preparing the ingredients needed to make the cookies. Egg cracking is an art form...lol! Duncan and I measuring out the ingredients for each students set of cookies. There was some left over dough, so I decided to create some cookies for the teachers to eat. No sense in wasting. Chris was trying to get the students to do some listen and repeat activities, but was struggling. Nicole and I were calming the boys down and Duncan took a liking to the only two girls in the class.
After we finished at the hagwon, Tahee took us all out for some dinner to a samgipsal restaurant near her hagwon. We happened to see some SK Wyverns baseball players come in for dinner there as well after their game finished. When we finished dinner Mike, Nicole and I headed to the CGV to catch a later movie. Nicole and I have both decided on a lifestyle change that doesn't involve alcohol and I'm trying to be healthier, so a movie seemed like a great Saturday night option. We decided to see, Slumdog Millionaire, which was a great decision because the movie was absolutely fantastic. We all just headed home after the movie. Sunday was a rather chill day and night. I slept in and then headed out for about a 90 minute walk through my neighborhood before heading home to shower and head to bed.
