Graduation

I apologize for the long silence. These have been the crazy days of preparing for graduation, helping new teachers, saying goodbye to those leaving, and getting ready for the big switch at the end of the school year. Graduation was yesterday and I was very pleased with our performance. Unfortunately the people who were supposed to video it did not show up. So all I have is pictures. Sorry to disappoint so many, but know that you are the least of those dissappointed. But it was a wonderful graduation, the best the school has had, it was said. I was very proud of my kids. There weren't too many distractions. Ayoung broke the huge button off her costume and it bounced for a while. But it was nothing like Will Teacher's class where one kid fell on his butt after a pronounced trip and scuffle towards the floor. It was great.

My friend Joy, from home, is here now. She got in on monday and has been on the teacher training schedule. So she gets to watch other teachers and learn how to make tests, lesson plans, etc. I'm sure she's tired. I am ready to break the cycle of going out to eat. It has been every meal since lunch on Monday. Which means mostly more expensive and meaty meals. I have never eaten so much meat in a week. It must come to an end.

Next week is my half-marathon in Seoul. Im pretty excited, if my foot would get in line i would feel perfect. I think I strained it on monday from 10 miles and moving teachers to new apartments. I hope to get some good pictures from the race. It's been warmish here so it should be good for a long run.

Im sure theres more to tell, but at this moment Im just trying to get some time to do nothing, so I will finish this and do that. Hopefully more sooner than later.
