So yeah, it's cold.
At least I'm not North of the Wall… (bu dum shhh)
I have been much more home-body-y these last couple weeks. I haven't gone anywhere. I haven't even gone into the nearby bigger town (city?) Chuncheon. I'm just staying in my lovely Hwacheon home. :)
A few things have happened, so I do have some stories for you~ but first I think I'll just ramble. That's what you're here for right? No? *cough* Um, well… endure! Like I endure the cold!
Like let's talk about how delicious bread is. I love bread.
BREAD
BREEEEAAAAAAAD
빵
사랑해~
빵 빵 빵 빵 パン 包子
Don't get me started on pastries
Don't do it.
DON'T
하지마세요! STAHP IT I CAN'T NO DON'T
Ahem.
Back to non-bread things.
First I would like to brag about my supreme layering skillz.

LAYERS ARE IMPORTANT
I was never really that crazy about fashion, but I must say, as of late, I am a spiffy-looking teacher!
Admire this lovely shirt and sweater combo~ so blue and warm~
And now for an in depth look at my five layer masterpiece. All grayscale. Very warm.
Mmmm. Yes. Patterns. Grayscale. Yes.
All together:
One shirt, two sweaters, a blazer, a jacket, and scarf (if you count the scarf… six layers!)
I will now model these layers in bathroom-selca style, because I have no integrity and feel like it.
Stay tuned for my next photo-shoot, appearing on the cover of the Vogue December issue
Speaking of how awesome my job is, last week I spent two days just sitting and cheering on my adorable 7-10 year-old students as they sang, danced, and acted on stage. We had a two day school festival last Thursday and Friday. The hallways were full of student artwork and each class prepared a performance piece to be shown one of the days.
I unfortunately forgot my camera the first day, when my 3rd-graders performed, but you bet I brought it the last day!
I now present my amazing and adorable 4th graders and their various talents:
Aren't those costumes AH-MAZE-ING! They're so cute!
I could hear this class practicing with their recorders everyday all the way from their classroom to the English room. Over and over and over they played this song. I stopped recording a bit to early here though, they continued playing and the end was my favorite part. I was pleasantly surprised with the harmonizing they did at the end part~
This has so much power and energy! They are so in sync with each other too!
These girls were so diligent. They taught themselves that first dance. It's a very famous song/dance in Korea (particularly among elementary school girls) by a popular K-POP boy band, EXO (again particularly with the previously mentioned demographic). Here's the original so you can compare the dances ㅎㅎㅎ
And the boys. Oh boy~ they make me laugh.
The 6th graders and 2nd graders also performed on Friday, so here are some highlights for you~
This was particularly awesome because ENGLISH! And they wrote the entire skit (a good 5 minutes or longer skit). So proud of these kiddos, even if they aren't really my students (they're Amelea's…)
Finally there were performances from some of my school's clubs like a magic club (which was awesome but they only performed the first day) and the gymnastics club. Thankfully the gymnastics club performed both days as the epic closer.
Five of my fourth graders are in this club, including the amazing girl who does the last move, an awesome round off layout! She's known for being really good at gymnastics, because basically my first week at school, teachers kept pointing her out and saying how she is an outstanding gymnast. I'm just as proud of my other four students (who I had no idea did gymnastics!)
And the little babies are cute too~
And now that you've watched a billion videos, I shall end my post with an amazing gif. Yes, it is Japanese, but I think it ties well with the message I want to send you all:
DON'T MESS WITH DANCERS
Gooood byeeee~
