The people at the T World near my school totally lied! After the teacher dinner last night, I saw the same girls who were helping me at the cell phone store yesterday, and I told them that I got it all set. They said I could change my plan right there, and so they did it for me. I'm not on unlimited data! I think that's a better option for me. Actually, it comes with more free minutes than the other plan I was on too, so no idea what that's about. Whatever.
The teacher dinner was really nice last night. We went to another traditional Korean restaurant where we took our shoes off and sat on the floor. I brought socks this time, which was good. The food was excellent. Seemed like there was less than at the other restaurant, but last dinner I had a serious headache, so this restaurant was, by default, better in my opinion. I've been trying to drink a lot of liquids too because I started getting a sore throat yesterday. I need to drink some Emergen-C. I brought some, but I totally forgot to drink it this morning. I had a nice conversation with some of the other teachers. One girl was talking about her vacation to Brazil in the best English she could. She did a great job. I hope she understood me.
Before the teacher dinner, I had Teacher Class. Only 3 teachers came, and one English teacher came also just to practice her speaking for a test she has to take. It was ok, but they didn't talk a lot. I think I made it a bit too formal. I showed pictures of home and my family and things, and they seemed interested, but it didn't spark conversation much. I think, based on the conversation at dinner, I understand better how to do a class like this. I'll do a better one next week.
My regular classes were good at the end of the day, except I had one class where the CD of the book just wouldn't work. The coteacher and I modeled one activity, but then she ran to grab the CD. I let them ask me questions while the CD loaded, and the crisis was averted, but it was a little touch and go for a second. I'm learning to adapt quickly at least. I need to come up with more quick games to play with them for situations like that.
Gianni was too tired last night to go to Traveler's for the quiz. I came home from the dinner and found him sleeping! Instead, we watched a movie and chatted about what's coming up in the next few weeks. South Korea has more festivals than anywhere else I've ever been! We are going to Seoul for Chuseok then the next weekend there's another festival in Daegu then the Andong Mask Dance Festival then a Lantern Festival in Jinju. Busy Busy weekends coming up, but I'm so excited! I'm trying to throw us into seeing everything!
