Random Things from Yesterday

Walking to work in the morning, I made it to the road that leads to our school. I saw one of my most angelic students with her grandpa, who usually walks her to school in the morning. Well, once he saw me there, he just passed her off, since we were maybe a quarter-mile away from the front door. Kind of odd, but I picked her up as she prefers, and carried her on. I even got  a strange look from one of the parents as I was walking up the hill to the school.

In my late afternoon private class I have with a really smart kid, I was listening to him tell me that he watched the new James Bond . Well, listening to a nine year old Korean boy explain a love scene from a James Bond movie is pretty freakin' hilarious.

I've got one thing to add, but the break is almost over already. So I'll come back in a little while and add it.

A little update on things

So recently I've submitted an application to be a Fulbright Institute Teaching Assistant in Bulgaria. I really want this prestigious honor, and feel that it may be attained. Anyway, the application process was a little tough. I wrote two different essays, and had three different people answer some interesting questions about my character and communication abilities.

This past weekend we had movie night at church. A few of us prepared dishes --- mine was Penne Pasta with chicken and a little veggie tomato sauce. We watched a movie titled Letters to God, which is a cute little movie about a little guy who has brain cancer, and how is "Letters to God" benefit the lives of many around him.

Work is going well these days. I did have something really interesting occur last week. In my smallest afternoon class one of the girls got into a little skirmish with the oldest boy. Well, she decided to put a quick end to things by laying a nice little backhand to his face. He held together for a minute or two, and then the tears started flowing. I pretty much told him that hitting a girl can result in such things, and that he should not be doing such a thing.

Anyway, I've got these little breaks in the morning time for the next few weeks, so I'll be adding more to this later.

Walking at the park with the little ones

Enjoying Fall and the pretty leaves with my kiddos!!

Hiking Photos

So I visited this place a few weeks ago, but just didn't think I had enough time to make it to the top, which I actually did. Anyway, I was glad to come back to this place and have more time to hike, and enjoy a good meal as well. I even rode back on a bus with professors who teach at the local University where I go to church. They were an interesting group, and all I had to do for my ride was sing some karaoke on the bus.
