What better time to blog...

than when you have a stomach virus? I haven't had one of these since I was a kid! #teacher problems. I'm out of work today and have caught up on nearly all the TV shows I watch so thank you to the child who gave this to me!

I haven't written in a while and I promised myself I'd keep up with it much better than I did in Peru. Oops! To be fair, I had a visitor for the first 8 days of February. My friend from college works in China a few weeks or months every year and one of his trips worked out so that he could add a little trip to Korea on his way home. We had a blast and it was great to have a visitor as I have been a bit homesick lately. Unfortunately, I couldn't take off work so while he was exploring the city and doing fun touristy things like eating live octopus, I was stuck at work. But, we did have a few crazy nights in Seoul staying out until the wee hours of the morning.

Out in Gangnam

Cat ears! So Asian

Nothing has changed much in the past few weeks but will be changing very shortly. The semesters here start in March and September, so at the end of this month my class schedule will change. I'm keeping about 4 or 5 of my old classes, and getting some new ones. Two of our kindergarten classes are graduating, and I just found out that one of my favorite classes will become one of my afternoon elementary classes so I'm excited! They're a hilarious and rowdy bunch, so it should be a bit of a challenge, but fun at the same time. Quite a few teachers are leaving as well and their replacements come in about a week. I'm excited to get some new foreign teachers! Maybe I won't be the only American anymore.

March is just around the corner which hopefully means warmer weather and prettier scenery! I'm very excited for cherry blossom season and to be able to start hiking. We've got another 3 day weekend in March and one in May so hopefully a trip outside the country will be planned soon! I'm dying to get to China or Japan. I really never thought those words would be coming out of my mouth a year or so ago. Crazy how fast time flies!

In other news, I'm trying to be more technologically savvy and have started using Instagram (kind of, even though I only follow animals and Kasey). I'll leave you with some pictures of my cuties.

I adore this little roly poly nugget.

Little 4 year old angels! Top left is the most beautiful little girl I've ever seen.
