I love my crazy friends. My most dog-crazy one has been annoyed that I have TWO cat pillows at home. So what did she do? She took a picture of her dog and got it turned into a pillow so now I can cuddle with HER dog whenever I want. I LOVE IT!!! Her pup doesn't always want to cuddle, and now I can cuddle her WHENEVER I WANT! This is by far one of the best things I've ever gotten. She also sent a fun dress, some chocolate, and chili powder. So now I can make chili for S on Tuesday and I'm making stir fry for J on Wednesday. I also made brownies over the weekend and gave those away to M(C), and J who shared them with A and M(H). Tip - when making things in a toaster oven, cut the cooking time by about 10 mins... sigh... brownies attempt #2 will be sometime soon, I'm sure.
The teaching online continues... and it is what it is. I am looking forward to being able to have the kids back in class. I had to laugh at one of them today though. The lesson was about volunteering for Habitat for Humanity and I mentioned that I've done that before. One of my favorite students asked me how it was that I've done all these things - I know sign language, I volunteered for Habitat, I've been all these places - and I realized I have had a pretty awesome life. My favorite substitute teacher in school was the lady who had been everywhere and seen everything and I think to my students, that's me. It's funny... I hardly ever see my life thru other's eyes, but when I do it's kind of striking. My friend S also stopped in and told me that one of my old students used me in a sentence. The chunk was 'as flat as a pancake' and her sentence was 'K Teacher will be flat as a pancake if Amanda Teacher fell on him.' We got a pretty good giggle about it. In the meantime, I'm more than slightly nervous about coming home in March and trying to find a job... so prayers about that would be extremely appreciated.
Anyway, life continues... no plans for the weekend, though I may have to work on Sat, but we don't know for sure yet. I keep reminding myself that Korea is teaching me how to take life as it comes. It's not totally helpful, but it's a good thought. Much love to all, MUAH! :*
