A Day in the Life

As suggested by Mrs. Kelly Hall, this post will show what my normal day now is really like.

Who I previously spent my nine to fives with:
Kelly and our "little brother"  

Nowadays, life is a little different. The day begins every morning as my alarm goes off 

and I wake up to Kaskade - Turn it down (no pun intended).

This is my walk to work.
The day I chose to take photos, it had just snowed.
Most days the snow does not stick. However, it is still very cold.
I have to wear leggings under my jeans, a shirt, sweater, sweatshirt, and jacket.
Needless to say, we aren't in Kansas anymore.
Somedays, I even wear two scarves.
Even with all of this, the wind is chilly on my face. 

But, it sure is beautiful.

My morning starts with a cup of coffee and time to prep for my classes.
My office is on the  top floor of my building and I share it with
my two foreign teachers. This is DJ.

This is my class schedule.
It reminds me of SDSU days, and making wish lists for classes.

In the morning I teach twelve freshly turned
7 year olds in the Olive Classroom.

Welcome :)

We switch books about every 40 minutes.
They learn phonics, language arts, science, math, spelling,
reading, writing... it goes on and on.

I have my little ones all morning until lunch.
I spend the first half of lunch eating with the kids.

Most days, we have meals cooked by my owners mother in law
(who lives in, and owns, my apartment complex).

Sometimes, they order food in.

I spend the second half of my lunch writing my reports for the kids.
We write a sentence or two about their performance that day. 

After lunch, the kids brush their teeth.
And stick their tongues out at me.

Depending on the day (MWF, T/Th) I have different classes in the afternoon.
These are all kids that go to Korean school during the day,
and come to my privateschool after they finish around 2 or 3 PM.

After work, it takes me about 15 minutes to walk home.

I usually go grocery shopping and grab something to make for dinner.
Even though it isn't as easy as back home, I still love cooking for myself.

This 7/11 looking grocery store is directly below my
apartment complex. and very, very small.

Sometimes I cook alone and sometimes I cook with friends.

Sometimes I chill at starbucks and listen to music.

Sometimes, I take the subway a couple stops to
Kaylee's for girls night, dinner, and a movie.

Pride & Prejudice on an awesome projector. 

(When its freezing) I stay inside, read my book, paint my nails,
or watch one of my favorite shows from back home online.
This is also a perfect time to plan my adventures for the weekend.

If the timing is right, I get to skype with some of my favorites from home. 

It's a great time to catch up, but more importantly, be silly.

I try to get to bed before midnight, but I rarely succeed. 

And before I know it, i'm starting all over again.
