Bloodthirsty Koreans

So today I was supposed to "give a little bit of blood for a drug test." 5 vials of blood, a cup of urine, an eye exam, a blood pressure test, and a chest x-ray later I was good to go. Except I completely missed my first two classes of teaching, almost lost my passport, and felt like I was going to pass out. I got a free latte out of it though so an even trade I guess. Hopefully my ARC card will follow shortly so then I can participate in the perks of Korean society - a gym membership, a Costco membership, a cell phone, and a bank account. All things I'll have to budget for but may be a rather invaluable plus. Could make my life over here easier. I'm kinda surprised they didn't ask me to do all that before I came over here...
I was also teaching kindergarten this morning and wrote the word "window" on the board for a word that starts with W. I asked them what that word was and with both hands raised Jason yells out "Pizza!" I almost peed my pants. I think that might be the only English word he knows. I think he's my favorite, even though he's quite the handful. My mom told me I could bring him home. I'll think about it.
