Full Day # 3

Today I have spent a few hours working on getting my classroom ready, however, I am tired so I thought I would write and then go home.

I thought I was adjusting to the change, but I wake up about every hour. Actually I have woken up at 12:30, 3:00, 4:30 or 5:00, 6:30, and then 7:30 AM everyday now. I then pray and end up getting up around 8am.

Last night Gretchen and I went over to another couples house for a little while, they have a one month old baby girl. I spent two hours holding her while she slept. She has been keeping mommy and daddy up a lot. I knew I had a gift with older children, but didn't know it would work with babies as well. It is really just God working through me though.

I also found out last night that I may not be the only new teacher at CCS, but I am the only one who has NEVER been in Korea before for a long amount of time.

I have been given two opportunities to take a Korean class. One is Saturday morning and will cost about $10 for each. The other is free on Saturday nights. I think I may actually do both because I think the hardest thing right now is not feeling comfortable going out and not being able to communicate and that is something I would like to be able to do. Last night was fun going to a store, but yet I was too afraid to even say hello or thank you, and I know how to.

Trying milk the other day was interesting. It tasted spoiled at first, but after a couple of drinks of the glass it was fine. I have not had Korean food yet, but I think today is the day.
