dear mom and dad,

it's my last week with my classes! well, no break really b/c classes start right back up next week, but as i lamented before, it'll be with all new students and i will miss my kids.

thus far this week, classes have been pretty ok. i assumed that since it's the last class, i'd have major discipline issues, and all F's on tests and quizzes. although some scores were low, most of my classes still completed all of their homework, and i even got several A's on exams. i'd like to think that the students love me so much, that they were motivated to study up until the very end!

im loving my new schedule for the next term, i'll have a four day work week as i requested, so that i can free up time to attend korean language class. right now all i can say is "hogwan-ga ka jus say yo." hogwan ga is the street that my school is on, "ka" means go, i think, and "jus say yo" means "i want," or "i need" in a polite way.i use it with the cab driver. Oh! i can also say, "hanna" which means "one." dad, i guess if you were in korea back in the day, that's where you're korean would end, b/c you'd then know how to order a beer at the bar. ha!

hey, i discovered PEPSI MAX, forget about coke zero!!! why oh why havent i discovered this drink earlier?! i wikipedia'ed it and the beverage is not available in the states. i couldnt find out why. if i come home from korea with an extra eyeball or with green skin or something, we may want to think about suing the pepsi company. whatever, so long as it's zero calories! mom, still drinking coke zero and sprite zero? every little bit counts.

dad, i did some stuff at the bank the other day and will send money for the credit card next month. do i wire it to checking, right? not savings? i think i remember you saying the savings was for grandma? let me know.

i met up with some neighbors in my apt buildings, a couple from new zealand and a guy from new jersey. the new jersey guy has two cats. im very jealous. i told him that if he ever needs a cat-sitter when he goes out of town, to call me. ~daughter
