3rd YEAR GRADUATION

I decided before christmas that I wanted to give my 3rd years a leaving present, so I suggested that we make a music video together. There were 7 classes each with about 35 students, and together we chose a song and then I taught them the meaning / and gave each class a verse or chorus to learn.
Then the following week we filmed everything in a 45 minute lesson! That might not seem too bad to most of you but believe me when I say that is no small feat! especially since I spent more time trying to control the class, or motivate students to participate rather than actually doing any filming.

But somehow it all came together, with a few rough edges. Sadly, because a few classes were away I couldn't finish the video until graduation day, so I didn't get to show the students personally, I told them all to check it out online, it's kind of a shame really. But i'm really proud of them and will miss them all very much.

OUR NEW FLAT

So finally I have moved into our new flat! it's technically only one room but I call it 'open plan', also there is a kind of mezzanine floor so it feels like a proper home.

I absolutely love it, I guess I hadn't thought much about it but I haven't really had a proper space to call my own since coming to Korea, it's very peaceful (probably because there are no dogs anymore). But also it's a great way to anticipate our wedding, before we were living in the same family under the same roof, but now we have some separation it's been great to really look forward to the wedding and also look forward to moving in together.
The only slight issue with our flat is the bathroom has a transparent door, which is a bit awkward for guests... we're going to have to do something about that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EUN-MI

It was Eun-mi's birthday on the 19th of january. It also turned out that we had a church retreat on that day, but we had a great time and we went for a lovely coastal walk with everyone.
