Yesterday, jet-lag caught up with me in the afternoon after school. The school day starts at 8:20 am and ends at 3:40 pm. I eat breakfast at 7:30 am in the cafeteria with the dorm students, then head out to my class at 7:50 am. At around 4:00 pm yesterday, I felt very tired and went back to my room to nap for an hour.
The 5th grade teacher, Christine, volunteered to take me down close to town to the nearest market so that I would know where to buy groceries. Christine took Brittney and me down to the small corner market shop and I was able to get some milk, noodles, and cereal. Its about a 10 minute walk from school and the shop has almost everything I would need. I'm going to venture into the city of Daejon this weekend and find some traditional markets.
When we came home from the shop, I was so tired that I went to sleep immediately. I sleep all the way through the evening to the next morning, which is why I'm writing this blog entry a day late.
At school yesterday, we had two fun things! We had elementary chapel and show and tell! We had chapel first thing in the morning in the gym. The praise team (elementary students) lead worship and Tavin's dad shared a special message about God answering prayers. The chapel service was very much so like an Asbury service with elementary students! It was very uplifting and a great way to start the day!
After chapel, once we got back to the classroom, Lilly presented her show and tell. Lilly brought in blown glass and a gingerbread house figure. It was especially great to see Lilly present in front of her peers because of her English background. Miss Bechtold said that at the beginning of they year, Lilly wouldn't share for show and tell because she couldn't speak any English. Now she is up in front of her peers, presenting in English!
