Countdown to Sanity...

Hi Everyone-
Do you remember when you were a student in school how long the weeks before Christmas seemed? I am here to testify that, for teachers, the weeks are JUST AS LONG IF NOT LONGER! We are all anxious to get out of here for the 2-week break. Not only for the holiday itself, but also for the mental break away from the kids. Fortunately, this week, we have some elementary kids that are quite smart and really sweet- so it could be a lot worse. I am teaching the SBC room this week, so we are doing Christmas news reports and in the music room we are singing Christmas songs. On the good side of that, I am one of those people who could quite happily listen to Christmas music the entire month of December and never get sick of it. So, it's a good fit.
This past weekend, the girls and I went to see Twilight. I loved all 4 of the books in the series, and was quite happy with the movie. Crazy how attractive vampires can be! :) I also cut all my hair off, so now it is back to chin length. I will try to get some pics up this weekend. Saturday, we had some friends come to visit from Seoul, so we cooked dinner and went to the Music Room for some karaoke. It was lots of fun. Still no more snow since last week, but very cold. I am REALLY hoping for a White Christmas as it has been a LONG time for me.
This weekend, my friend Gail's mom will be coming in from England for the Holidays, so we will show her "the sights" here around camp. My mom and dad will be flying in on Monday, the 22nd and I can't wait to see them. We will spend most of the 10 days they are here in Seoul, but I will get to show them the camp and where I live one day. Since it is staying pretty much around freezing temperature, I think most of our activities will be indoors.
That is the update for now. I don't have my airline tickets CONFIRMED as of yet, but as far as I know, I am still on track to fly home February 19th. (just in time for the Oscars..but too late for the Super Bowl). I will post again before Christmas! Love you all!
