So many reasons to smile!

Last week was looooooooooooooooooooong... It wasn't good it wasn't bad it was blah. Last week I kept saying that I just need to get to the next one and I was right, it is Monday (the worst day in the world) and I am having a good one and here are the reasons....

1. All of a sudden the 5th graders have been little angels... I don't know why and I won't question it. The first two weeks they were like the walking dead. Now they are excited about class and they want to take part in everything... Even writing pratice. I didn't think it would keep going, but today is my dreaded 5th grade day and even I had fun... Now that is a reason so smile!

2. They are canceling my VIP lunch and instead I meet with them after lunch time and we will talk and play games. I like this better because.... I get overtime for this since it is class-like and I don't have to try and make conversation in a loud dinning hall. Also we get snacks ;). Now that is a reason to smile!

3. I'm going to America in July. I really can't wait. Yes yes I love Korea, but it is AMERICA... I love America... Call me a dork or whatever or a evil consumer hahah I don't really care. I am going to eat Qdoba and it will be awesome. I will see my mom and dad and my awesome family. Then I get to see my friends. Now that is a reason to smile!

4. In my GRE cards I have a small small stack of words I already know ;). hahahaha now that is a reason to smile!

5. I have a room to myself in the school. For now it is empty and not a soul is in here. This is great for me. When I finish my lesson plans I won't feel guilty about reading or studying. Now that is a reason to smile.

6. There is a great friend that I have here in Korea. I am ashamed to say I haven't been the best friend to her lately. She calls me on it and I can only hope to get better. Now that is a reason to smile!

7. I have had Kalguksu/Shabu Shabu 2 times in two weeks and I'm eating it again tonight! Now THAT it is a reason to smile!

8. I have my own computer at the school and it has internet! NOW THAT IS A REASON TO SMILE!!!!

There are many more so this Monday is a bit different from others. This week is already better and last week is done. I don't need to think about it anymore, but move forward keeping my reasons close :).


Now it is your turn to smile!
