today...

i learned:

-it doesn't matter how much you can prove that it's not... koreans will still say that fan death is a real, legitimate danger

-if you have a slightly reflective surface (in this case, the tv screen with a black background), your students will use it as a mirror and (unbeknownst to them) provide lots of entertainment for you

-students are like bees when you smoke the hive. turn on the heater and they basically fall asleep. turn it off, and within 3 minutes they're back to being loud and crazy. it's the funniest thing ever to watch from the front of a classroom

-be careful when you wear a hat to cover up the fact that you didn't shower... one of your co-teachers will probably make you let her try it on, and your nappy bedhead will be out there for all to see

-watching kids' reactions to a funny video is usually funnier than the video itself

-"superstition" in korean is 미신

praise the Lord for entertainment in my day!
