Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays blog readers! I finished my last class of 2013 on Friday, and now just have one and a half days of chilling at school before I am ON MY WAY HOME. Very exciting. Last year everyone was feeling pretty gloomy around this time, but my imminent departure has filled me with Christmas joy. On my door I have a very pretty snowflake, in my gross kitchen I have a Christmas scented air freshener Adri left me actually smells a lot like a tree, and inside my little apartment I have managed to get some candles. It's very jolly!
On Friday I played review games with my kids. When I said we were playing games, one kid piped up " SIMON SAYS?" I was surprised as I thought grade 5 was too old for that game. Anyways, I had all my fancy shmancy computer based games to play which had specific phrases from the textbook. Well, when the computer decided to just shut off completely and refuse to turn on, I was sure glad to know exactly what the kids wanted. It was the most intense Simon Says ever. It was awesome. I was proud of myself for winging it successfully so here I am bragging online :)
Also exciting I met my coteacher's new baby son! He is, as expected, adorableeeeee. Sooo teeny tiny. It's always nice to be in a home with a new baby, especially a first child and first grandchild. He was getting so much snuggles and love, it was wonderful to see.
Anyways, here's some more little tidbits as usual!
 |
| I wonder what my neighbours all think of their festive foreigner resident. I imagine they feel cheered up by my amazing craftiness. |
 |
| Some girls sporting their new indoor slippers. |
 |
| The fad of Canada Goose jackets has reached Korea! That is.. sort of. I couldn't believe this sketchy fake was worth 80$! |
 |
| Correcting some grade six writing tests I had a chuckle at this answer. |
 |
| However, this was definitely the best of them all. |
 |
| Two of my besties out here left this week forever. Here's the gorgeous spread of our last meal! |
 |
| Snow surprise! |
 |
| My kids were trying to make snowballs and throw them at me. Growing up in Montreal, I know my snow and I knew this was not snowball snow. It was amusing seeing their confusion when the powder would blow back into their faces. |
 |
| TOO CUTE. |
On a parting note: Part of my writing test was fill in the blanks. One blank was "Well ______!" with the correct answer being "Well done!" An extremely perplexing proportion of low level kids wrote "Well barbecue!" This is a mystery that will never be solved.
