New Semester, New Names.

It's been a good week. First of all my birthday was on Wednesday and my Aunt put together a feast for me and a few of my co-workers. Aside from my phobia about having "happy birthday" sang to me in front of large audiences, which I had to endure twice, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. Being that it was my birthday and I like to party I also managed to see the sun come up the past two mornings and I have accepted that it is my nightly signal that I should head to bed. Usually getting off work at 11pm, then having a few at the table outside of our favorite corner store, and finally deciding to head to the bar, makes for a long night/morning. But fear not, this is not all I am up to.

The Lakers are headed to the NBA Finals and if you know me very well then you know how fantastic that makes me feel.

The new semester started this week. I have quickly realized how much easier it is to start a semester fresh then getting dumped into the throws of battle. I have some great students in my classes, "What" sits in the back of one of my classes and I spent a good five minutes during the first day simply exchanging "what?"s with him. Another one of my favorites is "Jga" which is the Korean word for "sleep." Rule #2 of my classroom, "NO sleeping," need I say more? "Zero,""One," and "Two" sit in the rear of my most basic class and oddly enough forgot their books on the first day. Did I mention that they receive their textbooks on the first day? I am asking you too many questions and for that I apologize, just trying to keep you motivated.
