dear mom and dad,

it rained yesterday, boo. it was a hot muggy rain, it made me think of the story of Payong, and how he got that name b/c of all the wet weather in the Philippines, carrying an umbrella everywhere he went. ;)

it may be too early to say, but dad, I will NEVER beg for the cold. i would rather this hot muggy rain than korea this last february, hands down.

my middle school students are going through school exams, so i will once again start having some classes cancelled. it wasn't to start until next week, but yesterday (Thursday), i only had one out of the nine students in my 7:30pm class. it was pretty funny, the poor girl kept debating on staying or not, and saying that she didnt want to make me mad if she chose to leave; it was too cute. she ended up staying (after calling her mom, and mom strongly suggesting she stay), and so we did class one on one. it was cool, she's a good girl and very smart, we had a good time. well actually she said over and over how "mean" i am for making her take the test and conducting the class as usual, instead of just letting her chill. i told her she'll thank me in the long run. "look at how much you've learned today!" i told her at the end of class. :)
