I am pretty sure one of my students made a Thinking Project about the future that made fun of September 11th. I joke about a lot of things in my class, and my students know they have free reign to say the silliest things they could think up in in English, but I can't say I've discussed terrorism or national tragedies yet. I'm not sure, so of course I can't get angry. Besides, I'm not exactly teaching cultural sensitivity over here, so it's out of my hands in any case.
Halloween was fun. I went to see the Brown Eyed Girls perform at a PACKED club in Gangnam, Seoul on Saturday evening. It was a good show, but it was horribly hot inside. And when I mean PACKED, I mean that during the entire show, men in suits were standing along the mass of bodies and forming a wall. They didn't want to erect one before the show, no....they opted simply to physically force people back. Being larger and (yes, I would say) more powerful, I secured a nice spot for my friend and I at the front, which made for KILLER footage. It shall be uploaded soon.
I also watched a girl I've been seeing on an open basis drunkenly make-out with my friend, with whom she is also friends. It felt quite strange. I wasn't jealous, but I was certainly disappointed. I'm only bringing this up because it's good to talk about. There's nothing more to it, just that I was disappointed and left to share a couch with her while she snored until morning. JUSTICE: She was so hungover in the morning that I had to go eat alone...wait a minute...
It is getting very cold here. Every day before today I had erred on the side of warmth and been too hot. Today, I took the opposite tact, and nearly froze on my way to work this afternoon. Right now, in the evening, it will be colder than it was at 1 PM today. FML
The things that students produce for Thinking Project (a bi-monthly writing project involving steps that encourage creative English thinking) often make it worth any trouble. Today had one such gem that will keep me laughing for days. I shall share it with you:
The topic was time travel, and for this class, they could only go to the future. For one of their five places and times, James and Brighton decided to go to the year 3000...to "Everyone is Floating Island."
I WANT TO LIVE ON EVERYONE IS FLOATING ISLAND
Awesome. I know.
