my first day at school

I woke up at 6 am (4 pm CST) to get ready for School today. I am waiting on my body to adjust to Seoul. Im also waiting on my bag to get here from the airport. You should have seen me this morning getting dressed in clothes that didn't match.  Anna says, "don't worry they think it American style." 

Funny thing you all thought I would fit in with everyone here. A lot of my students are taller than I am.  I have more than 25 students in a class, sometimes I have as many as 36.  I have 23 different classes a week.  Each class meets once. The good thing is they all have their names sewn into their shirts. The bad part is it's in Han'gul. Han'gul is the Korean alphabet. I am in the process of learning Han'gul so that I will be able to read their names as well as the streets. 

My body is sore. My eyes are tiered and this morning they were swollen. my feet are still swollen almost twice their normal size. 

Sara, the girl who lived and worked here before had left me little notes in my apt and at school in MY classroom.  I am excited about the students and we are getting to know each other. 

When I got home from work I decided to take a quick nap.  I had to go to Emart to get an alarm clock. Everything that had an alarm on it has died.  anyhow my nap ended up being almost 5 hours long.  I woke up made some rice and went to Emart.  With in two hours of being back from the store I fell asleep.
