Quick update

Well Mom is here and I've been taking some great pictures. I'll talk more about her trip when I can get the pics up, but lately I've been pretty busy getting up in the mornings to spend time with her before I go to work until 10PM. Overall it's been great and their hotel is so swanky and modern and beautiful that I almost spent the night! Unfortunately, it only has one king sized bed and I wasn't sold on spending the night in the same bed with my mom and Kevin (no offense, guys!).

I have good classes so far, but there is one class that is driving me nuts. The class is filled with older children. They aren't quite middle school aged, but just on the cusp and full of attitude. They won't listen to me, talk while I'm talking, won't stop speaking Korean, and won't follow directions. There are three students who provide the most stress and they flat out don't care. I've tried being calm and stern, giving them punishments (extra homework), and rearranging their seating so they wouldn't be right next to their friends. Nothing has worked. I think it's this age because the class I had last semester in this age range was just as bad. Well, maybe not quite as bad....but close.

Well, I'm off to bed....Mom and Kevin and I stopped in at a casino attached to the hotel and played the slots. It was fun and we had a lot of laughs. They leave tomorrow to begin their tour. They will still be in Seoul quite a bit, but in an entirely different area.

Will post pics and details later!
