You're never too old to become younger

Top of the morning, to you! Things have been much better this week, almost as if a burst of rainbow dust (not yellow sand) has been released into the air current to greet those below with good energy. Or maybe it's just the warm breeze and chirping birds that accompany Spring? Nay, I prefer the former!

Anyway, needless to say I'm over my stomach ailment and feeling a little better about my classes for the semester. I've made it a goal to work at least 3-5 days ahead of each class which seems to help things go more smoothly. Still though, you never know what you're going to get when you walk into a class.

Take my last class of the day on Friday, for example. It's a group of 30ish 4th graders who are very, very ornery. They were learning greeting phrases, such as introducing a friend to someone else and saying their name. Well that was hardly possible! Last week a brigade of 4 young boys assembled DIY toy guns and this week the same kiddos acted out. I just use them to my advantage. I had one of them sit with me up front the entire class period and he was my volunteer each time I needed one. He even had to pretend he was Julie's mom (who all the kids think is so funny).

And when he decided to inform me that he was "crazy," I simply replied, "I know - a crazy monkey!" and all the kids died laughing. It's so hard to be mad at them for more than 2 minutes.

Moving on... the weekend was nice. I had voice lessons yesterday and felt like I had a mini breakthrough which was nice. Ryan had me do a warm up that involved yawning before doing a 5 note scale and it kind of changed the way I think when preparing to breath. The "old way" is habit so it'll take a while to break.

Ooh, before I forget, Friday was such a nice day and the setting sun was letting off some really beautiful light so I decided to take my camera out and shoot a few things. I bought this lollipop on "White Day" last week (March 14) for the sole purpose of incorporating it into a shoot. I allowed Goguma to sit in and then took a few self-portraits. The result:

and me.

Next update I have pictures from an Irish Pub that David and I visited in Itaewon Saturday evening (food was sooo good...drinks too!).

Ciao!
