Today was a great way to end the week. I went to school knowing that I was already having a "surprise" party thrown by my students and the parents. The kids (5 and 6 years old) tried so hard to keep it a secret, but kept telling me about it and told me about all of the letters and cards that they made me. It was so funny. One girl told me ("I have a surprise for your birthday, but I'm not going to show you until the party.") She must have forgotten that i proofread her letter which was addressed to me ahahha. Oh the things kids do.
So my room mom brought cupcakes and bought me a very nice gift from the parents. What a great group of parents and kids!
At the end of the day, my student from India's mom brought me a huge sack of homemade Indian food: chicken masala, Indian rice, and pakodas. I enjoyed it so much. It was such a surprise, and she made so much, so one of my roommates and my best friend Jaimie ate it watching American Idol reruns! Korea is a year behind, so I have to download season 9 off of the Internet.
So, tomorrow is my actual birthday. We are going to a brewery, 16 dollars (all you can drink) and half priced food. It should get interesting.
I was kinda bummed tonight, because I am cancelling my Spring Break trip to the Phillipines because my next two graduate school classes are going to be very time consuming. I also have to do a presentation for my school's parents as I'm the Language Arts Coordinator, and I have to write narrative evaluation reports for my students as well. So, the next 8 weeks will be extremely busy, but it will pay off in the end!
Got my two grades for my last 2 classes, and I got a 98% in both, so that was a nice pick me up.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow for good beer, good food, and great friends! Good night Korea! Good morning America!
