Videos!

Swearing video snippet (NSFW).... Don't judge me, haha. They laughed a lot, and I did, too.

Today was Korea's definition of "field day" at my school. The events were more like a weirdly sexual talent show/pep rally, but it was still pretty fun to watch. Also, no one explained to me what was going on at any point during the day, so I tried my best to guess. There were quite a few events: a lot of award giving, dancing, singing, playing musical instruments, and three HOURS of volleyball, haha. By the end of the day, my head hurt. I tried to take video as much as I could.

Below is a snippet of three of my second grade girls- Rhianna, Courtney and Alicia (who are EXTREMELY shy usually!) dancing together. Rhianna (the center dancer) was the breakout star of the day, dancing in this number and singing in three others. She hasn't said a word in my class in two months!

...And another dance, by my third grade girls. Katie, Brittney (my biggest troublemaker), Jane and Olivia (the smartest girl in her grade!). I find their outfit choices absolutely adorable, considering every other day, they wear uniforms, and were allowed to choose anything for this performance, haha. 

A strange twinge of pride welled up in my heart for most of these, though it came out as laughter. 

Below is by far the coolest one, in my opinion. Though it's kind of hard to tell in the video, my students are playing traditional Korean drums. I've never seen this before, and I don't know anything about what they were doing, but I really enjoyed it. It was kind of tribal-sounding. 

More to come soon!!!
