Joy, the most hilarious student ever is in my first class. He mentioned that he wanted to change his name to T-ara. For those of you not up to date with K-pop, T-ara, is a girl group who sings the catchy song, "Bo-Peep." I tried to upload the music video, but couldn't figure it out, so YouTube T-ara, "Bo-Peep" and I promise you'll have a new favorite song. On his test paper he crossed out Joy and then wrote "new" above T-ara... in blue and purple milky pens. At the end of each term we reward the "best student" and "best actor" in each level with points and gift certificates. I nominated Joy/T-ara for "best actor" and today he proved his skills. The scene the class had to act out was about farm animals and he was such a ham (haha) the whole time.
During another class, we had a discussion about the differences between cats and dogs. One boy raised his hand and said, "you can eat dogs." Lovely.
I asked my students when they see foreigners out and about if they talk to them and they answered yes! One boy said that he helped a couple with directions the other day and they paid him 1 USD. I'm glad they're putting their English skills to good use.
In other news, I have to write a million student reviews and report cards within the next week, but I did just book a trip to Busan over Buddah's birthday weekend. The weather has been gorgeous recently so I'm looking forward to getting some sun!
bahahah "lovely"
