I'm in the Caribou Coffee Shop (no surprise, it's a day off school and where else would I go?) I just noticed there's a guy sitting at a table across the room with a bunch of other guys. This . . .

Normally, I try to avoid these things because they just disturb me, but the whole Korean connection is sucking me in. Even more, the killer reminds me vaguely of one of my students in his pout. My kids . . .

Sarah had a hard time adjusting to school. She's one of the smallest kids in the class, but she's extremely bright. Not too long ago she told her mother that she didn't want to go to PSA any . . .

Dennis went for the consultation on his second opinion. The second doctor felt that the tumor, which is 6mm, is malignant, but encapsulated so it hasn't spread. They did an MRI and found no other cancer. . . .

I say things to the kids that I know they have slender hope of understanding and they frequently surprise me by not only picking it up, but using it correctly.
When I get absent-minded, I often . . .

Here's my problem. Jerry is a bright, outging, affectionate kid who is saddled with an annoying mother who works all the time and a father who apparently also works constantly. From what I'm told, . . .

Thursday, we went to Seoul Grand Park. The park is actually split into three sections, near as I can tell. There’s the amusement park with rides and a mini Epcot ball, which costs around $21 a head . . .

On Sports Day, after the games, we took the kids (4 and 5 year olds) for a walk. They'd had a tough day because they lost every game but the last one. My class is a little smaller than Cherry or Dolphin, . . .

Last year in our neighborhood in Seoul, we had only hofs, creepy little bars that doubled as coffee shops. This year I have Starbuck's, Coffee Bean, and Caribou Coffee all within a 5 minute . . .

I've been battling a cold for about 3 weeks now. I was actually getting better until Sports Day two weeks ago when I overdid it a little. Ok, more than a little. Sophie, my assistant teacher, kept . . .

In the end it went off with fewer hitches than one would expect when one is working with 5 year olds. I went to school about 1 and Helen, Sophie and I spent the afternoon cleaning and moving things around. . . .

Ok, this actually happened Frida, but it's taken a while to get to where I could write about it without gagging.

I stopped in at school today to wrap up some loose ends and drop off more freebies for the teachers staying behind. Naturally, I stopped in to talk to Helen. She said she talked to Sonia's mother . . .
