Kids and Life

First off, today was pretty interesting. The kids were presenting their thinking project and these two students Paul and Howard, who I generally like, were presenting. They were talking about the issue of climate change. Somehow they got it in their heads that climate change will make a person grow bald and make people black. I had no idea what to say. I didn't get angry because they were ignorant, not knowing what they said was absolutely wrong and offensive. However, I told them after that they can ABSOLUTELY not say anything like that ever again. i couldn't even put into words why, but was just appalled.

Not all the kids say are offensive. I wish sometimes I could tape them and put them on an episode of 'Kids Say the Darndest Things.' For example, I make them write letters to me on the first day. I promised to keep them private but some of the things they said I can't help but telling people. These aren't exact quotes, but pretty close.

My friend has pretty fingernails. I want pretty fingernails like you.
I like your long yellow hair. You are cute.
Please don't be angry with me. Please don't yell and be angry.
I always want you to be my teacher. forever.

Those are just a few I can remember off the top off my head.

On my own personal business, I have a plane ticket to arrive home on the 18th of October.
I'm going to Jeju Island the weekend of the 26th (Sept). It's supposed to be the Hawaii of Korea or something like that.
When I get home, I don't know how long I will be home for. Right now it's looking like anywhere between 2-6 weeks. I had a job interview today with this school named YBM language Institute teaching adults in Bundang, Korea. I finished my application for CDI Busans. Hopefully I will hear from them soon. I'm still talking to Moonkkang as well. They look like my best options right now, but we will see.
Becca and Thomas are engaged now. (My older brother and future sister-in-law) The proposal was adorable with swimming with dolphins and everything. I have to amit, he does so amazing things sometimes.
