Bbaebbaerodae

In Korea they have a chocolate day on November 11th called bbaebbaero dae in lieu of Remembrance Day. Bbaebbaeros are just thin cookie-like sticks that are covered in chocolate. When you have four lined up it looks like 11/11, and that is the marketing campaign they used. For the teachers it's pretty sweet because just about every student who likes you will be eager to give you these chocolate goodies, and man did I clean up.

Three of my favourite students (Stringer, Bunk and Bodie) have now levelled up and as a result I'm no longer their teacher. It was cute because Stringer came up to me to express his enthusiasm for levelling up, but this quickly changed when he realised I would no longer be doing stupid dances or singing stupid songs in front of his classroom. Kids can be so frigging adorable--man, I never thought I'd see the day when I'd say that.

I named a kid Prop Joe because--I know this is horrible, but whatever--his obesity reminded me of the fictional character. I regret naming this kid Prop Joe because he's one of the worst kids I've ever had to deal with, and is giving Prop Joe a bad name.

I've noticed an increased usage of the Korean word for "what?" and "yeah" in my vocabulary. These are full on words here, but to English they are just...rude and almost unintelligible noises. I'm going to be incredibly annoying when I come back home.
