Almost finishee

Today is the last day I have to teach the hospital booth...I am currently teaching it for the 11th time (but I have a 20 min break right now). Needless to say it feels pretty redundant and boring at this point. I have Christine's class right now and they are great, just a little quiet. It is amazing to see the kids progress this week. At the very beginning I had to talk extremely slow and clear but I am now able to speed up and they understand almost everything (I think). We've been having a lot of fun here in Mokpo, I love being near a city (sorry people in Wando) because we get to go out and explore a little (With our chaperone/guardian/translator/bouncer Ian in tow). Two nights ago we went to a little music bar down the beach and hung out in big chairs listening to the saxaphone. The saxaphone player wore a bowlers hat and a little polka-dotted bow tie, he came and took pictures with us. I learned the word for beer in Korean: mak-ju and when you mix beer and soju it is called Su-mac.
Yesterday was a very long day, we are all exhausted and teaching the same thing over and over is very wearing. At lunch time my co-teacher, Ji Hye (Sophie) told me that the girls in my class were all very angry with another girl because she made our team lose the jump-roping challenge the night before. I guess she had been crying all night and was sitting by herself. We decided that we needed to have a class meeting during our camp idol practice. I had no idea it would turn into such a nightmare...to make a long story short I had a total of 4 girls crying and yelling (all in Korean) but it really came down to 2 of them that had the issue with each other. It ended up lasting the entire hour and a half we had allotted for practice so we are completely unprepared. They continued fighting once we got to the cafeteria to eat dinner and I saw them later on with the head teacher at the camp STILL fighting and crying. It just re-affirmed what I already knew about middle school girls. I miss 2nd graders. Tonight we have to perform something too (the native English teachers I mean), this guy here is really set on doing this Korean pop song called Nobody. We barely practiced and it is really going to suck. I don't want to. Tomorrow all we have is a scavenger hunt and the kids go home after lunch. Then we pack up our things and go to have dinner with the governor of the province. I can't wait to be re-united with all our other swine flu quarantine buddies! Saturday we head to Jeju island for a few days and then we spend a couple days in Seoul before we go home. I leave one week from today! I can't wait to see all of you!
