Snow Forecasted for Friday

I ate a McFlurry for the first time yesterday. If you like oreos, the Oreo McFlurry hits the spot. Speaking of flurries, it might snow on Friday. I've never seen snow fall before, so this week is quickly becoming the week of firsts. Yesterday I also tried dog food for the first time. Don't act you've never been curious. I took a nibble of a bone-shaped Purina kibble. The food has a really crunchy and grity texture and tastes like how it smells. Maybe a bit salty and leaves an oily aftertaste. I ate some Special K flakes to wash the taste out of my mouth. Today I tried a dog treat made of vegetables. It was also shaped like a bone, but shared the consistency of those children's animal crackers. It would have went well with ice-cream, maybe even the Oreo McFlurry.

In case you are wondering, a friend who is a 6th gen and our POE coordinator lives across the street, and she has a small dog.

At lunch I was invited to join all of the teachers on a tour of Seoul on December 22-23. They might be going to Seoul Tower and an ancient palace. Been there, done that. I said that I had no plans and that I could go ... but I'm trying to figure a way out of it since I've already been there. Plus it will be super awkward spending 48 hours with everyone when I can't even stand a 48 minute volleyball game.

Spent all three of today's classes listening to Christmas music and working on holiday arts & crafts with the kids. We colored ornaments for a "Christmas tree" display of the kids' work located on the back wall. I taught them how to make paper snowflakes, which are now dangling from the ceiling. I also started to make a chain out of red and green construction paper to outline the tree. Next week I have my semesterly open class, so I want the room to look fun & festive for the kids and guests.

The Dell technician came back with my laptop, still unrepaired. I think he was under the impression that it was fixed, but when he powered it up, the computer seemed unresponsive and made strange noises. We awkwardly communicated through Google Translate on his phone. When that wasn't enough, I called Joanne to translate over the phone. He will be back again tomorrow. Same time, same place.
