<p><p><p><p><p><p>Happy birthday</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>I'm doing well. Just getting ready for college (freshman year), and packing my dormitory stuff. Yay college!</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Oh. Oops. I meant teaching at elementary school will prepare for my future. I guess I can see where the confusion comes from. Looks like you had fun: it's always nice to see one is effective or bring happiness. Though I have problems with some kids nowadays. Just 10 years ago Korea was quite like the other places of Asia where most of the children were quite obedient. Now it is starting to look like a mess, mostly due to broken families (which is TYPICAL here now). But I will find out where this is headed, as I believe everything has a reason.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Hm. Well, my parents and my little brother live in America (yes I live alone). I'll be there for two weeks... I think. They just like America better. I can see why, but I cannot. I have ties to my own nation which I don't think I'll ever sever, even if it is rotting right now. Though honestly, there's not enough vacation time here. You Americans get much more leniency with school timing: my vacation is JUST starting <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wacko.png" alt=":S" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wacko@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Toying with PO atm.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Life is going well. I'm on vacation right now and just relaxing. Last semester was a killer with Monday through Thursday schedule. I've learned my lesson. lol Next semester I'll be taking back to back classes, but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Gives me breathing room in between and a 4 day weekend (which includes Friday and Monday!). It's going to feel a lot more flexible. Last semester I couldn't spend the night with friends because of early Monday morning classes. ._.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>How are you doing? <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>It sounded like you were doing Student Teacher training (as part of a Credential program). At least, that's what it sounds like from an American's perspective. Especially since you mentioned in the future you will teach at an elementary school. So Student-Teacher seemed most fitting. lol</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>I did volunteer work at an elementary school for like 20 hours a week average. The principal was very nice and allowed me to use an empty classroom as my own for the occasional art projects I helped put together for the students that received awards that month. I also helped tutor them in reading, writing, and math. It was pretty fun and gratifying to see their smilie faces. Eventually, after 5 months of tutoring, Spring semester approached and I started at Uni. It's been nice and I absolutely love the entire experience. </p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Anyways, what do you plan on doing during your vacation? Just sit back at home and relax? :3</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Oh hey! It's nice to see some old members around. How is life?</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>If you haven't got it by now already I'm an elementary school teacher <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png" alt=":P" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>But today is last day before vacation. Thankfully... for 3 weeks I get to rest.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>That doesn't sound incredibly fun. How come you are working with children?</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>I have been quite busy lately. So much going on when you have to manage a bunch of children (no, they're not MY children, just elementary students). It's all I can do for now if I want to start some form of a future: teach at elementary school. Korea is all about education unfortunately... which I don't approve of. But this is how it is. It may sound like a sin, but unlike North America, we still have school in July. Vacation isn't even vacation as high school kids still go to school from 8:30-4ish (usual time is until 10 PM). It reeks of elitism here. How about you?</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Prowling? lol Yeah, it's been awhile. How are you?</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Meow. Looks like someone else is prowling. Long time no see, 靑猫.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Somewhat. Thanks for asking.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>You still alive?</p></p></p></p></p></p>
