I like to dog

Marie, here's a funny story from Korea. I'm teaching kids this week "I like to, I want to, I hope to." -Basically to + infinative. I went through this whole long thing of examples on the board for around a half hour and when I asked them to write thier own sentances this is what I came up with:

"I want to computer"
"I like to listen to music and teeth" (actually, this is pretty good use of to + infinative)
"I like to dog" (I didn't ask)

ARGH! Some of the kids got it, but for the most part they are having trouble inserting their verbs correctly. Of course one girl wrote "I like to rock" which I thought was awesome despite the fact that she didn't actually mean she liked to rock, she meant that she liked rock music.

I'm really jealous of all the celebs you guys are meeting. I'm especially jealous that Saul got to meet Al Sharpton. It's cool that he went to Kabul to eat. The reverand knows what's up!

Gin, I don't think it's bad if you want to talk about the good ol' days in madison! In fact, I've found that when you put madison people together outside of madison it is inevitable. Especially when the place outside madison is South Korea where good beer is impossible to find, as is good cheese, and there are no lakes/plazas/middle eastern food to speak of.

I have no idea when I will be coming home. If I decide not to stay another year I will be coming home at the very end of August. But I'm thinking about renewing my contract. If that happens I will be coming home for a few weeks around July/August probably. What do you think? If I stay here I can save more money, but I have a plan for when I'm back so should I hang out here another year or move on with life?

Okay, I better get back to work- my goal for next week is to firm up some grammer points and give out some candy to make sure all the students still like me. The latter part of the plan is obviously the most important.
