Day 397

Monday January 18

1st class was good. We did a speaking lesson on emergencies and mobile phone etiquette. I translated some of the words into Korean for them so they would understand-etiquette, polite, courteous. They all clapped when I wrote the words.haha. they asked how I knew—google.com/translate! They corrected me on one of them. I wrote it as an o insted of a u. (the o and the u in hanguel are similar...one is a straight line with a line pointing up...the other is a straight line with a line pointing down)

2nd class was okay. We had a speaking lesson about birthdays and hospitals. There was a story and they had to answer comprehension questions. Then answer personal questions. Then I helped them with homework for their other English class.

The 3rd class was back to their bad selves. They were not paying attention….I always give a review where I basically give answers to test and no one did better a 79. Then they were having a phone battle. I kept telling them to close their phones. They said "its a phone battle". I told them its class time!…They wouldn’t put their phones away and kept taking pictures.I had to keep playing the same track over and over on the cd until someone paid attention. I told them I was going to play it over and over until they paid attention. I must have played it about 10 times.We worked all the way up till end of class nad I told them no games this week.

4th class was good….The kid who always does bad got a zero on test(I just don't know what to do!)…The other made a 100. Today we learned a new set of words. They will be tested on those words on Friday.

After work I headed out to Gangnam to go to the dentist for my 3rd appointment. My root canal is now finished. She wants to wait a week before putting on the crown since my lip still hasn't healed. Hopefully it will heal over a week. After my dentist appt I went to COEX to eat supper. (Coex is a big mall in Seoul).

My cell phone ran out today. I have no phone for a month. If anyone really needs to reach me then thats just too bad.
