Hi, my name is Amy and I am a bad blogger.

My apologies...seriously.

I cannot believe almost two months has passed since I last posted, so many exciting things going on!

First, I have a job for next year!  Starting July 23rd I will be teaching at an SLP in Busan.  Yes, Busan, the super awesome city that I went to on vacation in August, not only that but it is the Haeundae branch, meaning I will be so close to the beach and right on the coast and ugh, I am so ridiculously excited about this.

Since my last post I haven't gone on any adventures too crazy.  I went to Seoul for St.Patrick's day and that was filled with foreigners and fun, as was expected.  I have also gone to Daejeon a few times lately to hang out with Laura and have discovered more pretty awesome foreigners to hang out with, which has been lovely!

My kids continue to get more and more wonderful.  Today there were some especially wonderful things.  First, while I was correcting an assignment in class Blaze, one of my favorite kids in the world, came and sat on my lap (yes, I realize that sounds odd, but in Korea it is completely normal for the kids to do that) and I asked him why he was sitting on my lap, his reply was, "Because you are so sweet." Another student from that class told me, "Amy Teacher, when you leave and go back to America in June I am going to go home to my apartment and cry because I am going to miss you too much."  Heartbreaking, yes, but also really adorable?  Yes.  Then my co-teacher from my other class, the one with my newest nuggets, told me that Bella, another one of my favorites, leaves her class often to walk around the building and find me so she can be with me.  So I had to talk to her and tell her that she can't have Amy Teacher time when it is Olivia Teacher time and made her pinky swear that she will stay in class...we'll see if that works.

We have also had some event days at work.  In April the kids made sandwiches, and they all had these adorable matching apron and headband numbers, too cute.





Sorry for the abrupt end, but my computer is being slow and I need to go to bed. I will try to update more very soon!
