Christmas is Almost Here. . .

I wish I had some amazing stories or insights into Korean culture for you to share right now, but I really don't. I have just been working pretty much as usual. Yesterday was Diary Day at EFL though and the topic was Christmas, which means all the kids write something about Christmas depending on their level. All the way from filling in blanks to make sentences to full fledged essays, that the other foreign teacher and I have to grade all of them in class or on the computer. Yesterday was kind of cute though because we got to teach the little kids Jingle Bells and we sang it to them and they sang too. That was very adorable and cute I though. . . kind of made me smile ^^!

The weather has warmed up again and is supposed to stay in the 40s mostly, which is pretty warm for this time of year I think. So, after work tomorrow I have a three day weekend for Christmas on Monday. Sunday and Monday I'll probably hang out with some friends and go to church both days. My first Christmas not with my family, try to make it enjoyable and somewhat special in its own way. I got a card from my grandma today from St. Louis and it made me sad, but happy at the same time. I just need to stay focused on the true reason for Christmas and not let myself get down. . . maybe a bit easier said then done. I guess maybe it is a bit of a good thing that even with Christmas music and everything it does not really feel the same or like Christmas. Maybe if it did I would be more sad. Life is just life, but I am okay with that and content.

I am still watching Lovers the Korean drama that I am addicted to. Just when I get so frustrated and think nothing is going to happen between the two people that love each other. Tonight's episode ended with them together on Christmas Eve and she walks in with the Christmas Couple's Cake and is like we can have a Merry Christmas party in the bedroom like place. ^^

I am still working on my Korean too, which I think I am getting better and better at, but still don't understand most things.

I go to Taiwan next Friday which is really exciting and something I am looking forward to a lot!
