Today we celebrated the birthdays of two of our kindergarteners. It was quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen. The two little girls (Analise and Jessica) were showered by gifts from the other kids and we had cake (the kids had chocolate we got yellow with green tea frosting) bananas, orange juice and cream soda (I just had cake and orange juice). The kids also got bags with candy and other goodies in them, thank goodness it was after I had them for class. This morning my first kinder class was out of control. I was teaching them social studies, in the form of a time line thing, but they can't focus longer than 2 seconds. They are the same age as all the other kinders, but their English isn't as good so it seems like they are younger. It's hard for me to control them and want to teach them, I don't have the patience. I love the other kinder classes though. They understand more English than some of my grade 1 and 2s. I had to get blood work done today so that I could get my Alien Registration Card. I'm pretty sure I'm clean, no diseases or drugs for me.
The last two days I've gone down to the grocery mart in my school building to grab lunch, but I think I am going to start walking home for lunch. I get an hour and it only takes about 10 minutes to get to school. I went to the grocery store (Everyday Mart) yesterday to buy some food, but didn't buy too much because I don't have a microwave (still debating if I should buy one) and most of the food, for ready to eat needs to be microwaved. Although, ramen just needs hot water so this weekend I'll buy some ramen. Yesterday I bought skim milk, apple juice (which is chocked full of sugar, I need to find an alternative), pasta and kiwi fruit. I enjoy the grocery because its fun to look at things, things I am used to seeing in English are in Korean, but I can recognize it (name brands). They have a lot of things over here like Powerade and Gatorade, Lay's, all candy, (Korean novelty candy is way cooler), Sun Chips and a ton more. However, I really want to go to Homever to grocery shop, but I assume it'll be more expensive.
I saw a lady wearing a Wisconsin shirt today, but on the back it said something about Hawaii. I'm not sure what that implied/meant, but I smiled when I saw Wisconsin. I brought my camera along today, but totally forgot about it until I got home. I will take a gazillion pictures this weekend and work on getting them on Flickr/linking them to the blog. Well, I am going to finish Law and Order (on one of the 5 English channels) and go to bed.

mmmm green tea frosting sounds very good. and classy.
in regards to the wisconsin/hawaii thing, i was thinking it was talking about the USS Wisconsin. As in it was in Hawaii during Pearl Harbor, but I don't think so. How strange!
You should pick up a Korean recipe book (in English) and learn to make local cuisine? Yummy noodles and vegetables and sauces. And soups! :) Good luck!
i was planning on trying to make some local cuisine...the noodles at the grocery intrigued me very much and a guy sells vegetables right outside of my apartment building.
