Does Time Really Stand Still??

Last week was a really quiet week at school. The grade 5's and 6's went on a school field trip, so I only had grade 3 to teach, but I also got to teach grade 4 to fill in some space. My two favorite grades this year in one week was awesome. I did a lesson on family with the grade 3's, which they really liked. The grade 4's lessons are boring because we are following the text book, but not actually using it. However, we try to play about two games a class, sing songs, etc to make the curriculum more fun to learn. I've decided to start walking home from school every day because the exercise is just what I need and the weather is just too beautiful to ignore by busing home. I've also resisted going out during the week, so that I can focus on my lifestyle change and get some sleep during the school week. However, Nicole and I did make a trip to Yongsan on Thursday evening to buy Big Bang shoes and pick up a few things at Costco.

These are the fabulous, Limited Edition, Big Bang shoes that both Nicole and I purchased. Here is a close-up. Yes, they are actually on the sides of the shoes. It's quite fabulous.

The school week went by a bit slow because I didn't have full teaching days, except for one, so I was bored in the office all afternoon. The weekend could not have come fast enough last week. I mean I was so bored some days I took random pictures of things. See below:

This is the sweet pink bike that sits outside my apartment door that I want to steal. I have yet to see it move from this spot. A giant mountain of sand for the students to play with/in at my school. Bad idea, does the school not realize the students play in this mountain of sand in their school clothes?!?! That equals, dirty, smelly, sandy kids.

When the weekend finally did come I had a lot to look forward to. Friday was a relatively chill night. Nicole and I mett up in the evening for a few beers at Mad Max, but called it a night around midnight because we both had early days ahead of us Saturday...
