Are you a rapper?




This week has been full of ups and downs. The children have been acting SUPER crazy this week, to say the least. Last Saturday Sujin came to my apartment and we had lunch and then she took me to get some medicine from the doctor. Thank God for that woman because she takes GREAT care of me. She also brought in a humidifier and lots and lots of tea. The funny thing about Sujin is she will always take me to eat somewhere I can get American food, even though she HATES it. She took me to Pizza Hut and I had to explain to her, "We can eat Korean food I don't mind". After lunch we went to the doctors when I was informed I am having bad allergies due to "yellow dust" which is just dirt that is blown over here from China, it last about 3 weeks. So the good news is I know whats wrong, the bad news is I still have 2 weeks to go :(. I got some medicine and a mask to where lol, which is extremely difficult to breath in, so we will see how thats works.

The children were so crazy this week! During one of my 5th grade classes this week one of my students was out of her seat. I asked her to sit down twice, then I walked over to her to walk her to her seat, can someone PLEASE tell me why this little girl swung on me?? I had to ask the Lord for guidance not to KILL this little girl! I grabbed her chin looked her sqaue in the eye and said " DON'T you EVER in your YOUNG LITTLE LIFE try and hit Tasha teacher again! Do you understand me?" I was soooooo mad! I could not believe her. The next day in another one of my 5th grade classes, one of my students says, (as he is pointing to his lap and back to another student) "teacher, she is a ummmmmmm a testicle" I was ROLLING! I tried to be the adult in situation, but that was too funny. Oh man, I am STILL laughing about that one. The kids were cutting up! The next day one of my 3rd grade students came up to me and said "Tasha teacher, I love you" I was so taken aback by that. It was so sweet! So that made up for all the crazy kids this week. Sujin and I had a pretty wild conversation today that I just HAD to share, this was our conversation:

Sujin: "Tasha, in America do white people only like white musicians and black people only like black musicians"
Me: "Well, no it depends on the person really"
Sujin: " Oh because I saw a Taylor Swift concert and she only had white people there"
Me: " Yeah Taylor Swift is a country singer, so she does have a large white fan base, but I am sure she has some black fans too"
Sujin: " Oh, so what kind of music to black people listen too?"
Me: " Sujin that really depends on the person, a lot of black people like Jazz, R&B, rap, but some like country, rock and alternative music too"
Sujin: " Ok, Tasha are you a rapper?"
Me: "ummmmm no"
The fact that she even asked me if I was a rapper slayed me! I was cracking up, mostly because she is so innocent and doesn't know any better. Who knew Tasha the rapper BABY! On the ones and twos out here making hits from SOUTH KOREA!!!!!!!!!! I am super GEEKED about this weekend John Legend concert!!! I cant wait! That's all for now.
Still Seoul Searching
