After the behaviour of some of my classes and some sage-like advice from a few teachers who have been here forever, I've altered some of my attitudes towards discipline.

Now, if a kid misbehaves, first they get put on the ceiling. Then, stuck in the corner. And finally, threatened to be thrown off the balcony complete with me holding them over the side. I've also taken to picking on some of them who really ask for it. Boys don't like being told they might be queer. So, should they be talking or all up in each other's area, I say in Korean, "No kissing!" They lose it. Class has been much smoother since I started doing this. I also randomly throw things when kids get out of hand or aren't paying attention. Nothing gets them back into class faster than a flying marker wizzing past their ear. :)

Strange fact about Korea. They eat Ramen like popcorn...literally. Smash up a bag of Ramen, open it up, add seasoning, smash again and eat. It's not bad for a snack.

More mosquitos. I guess they missed me.

So the Bears are 5-0. The only thing this means is that 5-11 is still possible. Boo! Boo!

Care package #2 showed up today. Yay! Jerky and MST for me!
