Yeon Jae
So yesterday I taught Sery and it went really well she got 100% on her English test at school and so got the highest score... I'm a little proud! She was really excited and seemed to be more interested then ever before. We used the new book I got her and played some word games. After my 1 hour lesson I headed back to Hongdae where I met up with Yeon Jae (the one who got us tickets to the play last week). We had a really really spicy chicken soup for dinner and I've been paying for it with stomach cramping ever since. It was a little extreme in the spicy arena but it was delicious so I ate it... after eating we chatted for a long time and it was much easier to chat with her then anyone else because she seemed more my style. We both like similar music and she studied Psychology for a while but she had to quit because it became to depressing for her. She went to school to be a teacher then taught for a couple years then realized she hates children so now she works for a production company putting on big musicals. I thought it was strange that she spent so much time in school to be a teacher then found out she hated kids. After dinner we went to Nori Bong and sang some songs which was awkward with just the 2 of us but I think its very common. At 11pm she had to go since she lives 2 hours away and I headed home with my stomach very much in pain! Today I am off to the bank to transfer over my full payment to Danny then I am teaching Sean, then Jane, then Tom, then Emily and Melody. Sean is technically Eddie's student but Sean's parents don't like Eddie because he is half Korean and can't speak Korean and he has a little facial hair. I guess it is a characteristic of gang members to have a goatee. Anyways I think they need to see what a great guy Eddie is before they judge him so harshly. It is very true that people think poorly of Koreans who don't speak Korean. Its a sad fact... So Eddie and I teach Sean together! Kind'a annoying because Eddie and Sean have a much closer connection since they both like the same cartoons and games and weapons and all that fun stuff I don't really bother to pay attention to. Anyways I think Eddie could be a good teacher for the kid but they want me to stay while Eddie teaches for a while... So thats my day and my terrible garlic smell didn't end up paying off because I am sicker today! I really want this cold to be a short one because I need to be able to work!! Kenny also found a really good site with lots of Korean's who want to learn English so Eddie and I are going to find a couple more students!!! YAY!
