After my Summer English Class i went back to Chicago for about 15 days. Where i spent some time with friends, especially a few i haven't seen since elementary as well as some family.
After my 15 days i came back (i had renewed my contract to teach another year at the school) {the pic is from a Halloween role play with the 5th grade class} i was back to teaching. 
Although some time shortly after Halloween i quit my private tutoring. One of the students didn't really study and she kinda got on my nevers. Only the oldest student actually studied (Liucia, the oldest student pictured above). 
"Jin" my co-teacher/handler telling me that we need to prepare for my OPEN CLASS in December, and that we need to do a good job to keep up the school's reputation. Our theme was "Christmas" and we taught the children to sing ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS' "CHRISTMAS DON'T BE LATE". As well as played the whisper game. It took almost a month to finish the lesson plan (revisions and all), but once we were done we were told we did a good job. Jin was so nervous because it was her 1st grade class instead of 4th grade which planned earlier. 
About two weeks before my open class i became obessed with getting a bike, but not just any bike. I wanted one that had coasting breaks instead of hand breaks. (i think hand breaks are not astheticly pleasing) So i went to about five shops and finally found one called LSD (Lake Shore Drive) which is known for custom bikes. I was told to go there to get a fixie, and then they would install costing breaks for me. To my dissapointment they said it could not be done. There are no frames in Korea that have the same amout of holes as the special hub needed to install the coasting break. (hub is the part of the bike that old the wheel and the frame together)
actually it took me awhile to find the shop, and if it wasn't for this blog i probably wouldn't have been able to

anyway i ordered my bike which should be ready in a week, and that's about all so far. (give or take a few more details)
