Friday Letters #34

Happy Friday Y'all! 

I hope you had an amazing week and all have amazing plans for the weekend. 

My week pretty much consisted of work and getting ready for our trip to Cambodia. 

Dear Saturday and Sunday, Like most weekends nowadays- you were spent studying for the GRE and relaxing. I started re-watching the series Bones on Netflex. I don't know why- but I just love binge watching shows. I seriously have a problem. On Saturday night, Matt and I went to see The Amazing Spiderman 2. Although I'm not a huge fan of Spiderman- the movie was pretty good. Plus- it's hard to pass up seeing American movies in theaters since a lot of movies don't make it here. 

Dear Monday, You started the week off right with a shortened work day. Thank goodness for middle school tests that happen four times a year. The tests usually mean a lighten work load for a month, and one week of easy/ absent classes. 

Dear Tuesday, Again easy day. I had a pizza party in one of my classes. This class is one of my favorites. I went down to get the pizza and when I had come back up they had arranged their desks for their party. So cute. :) I also got to leave work two hours early and it was amazing!

Dear Wednesday, Usually you are one of my harder days because my 6 classes tend to go pretty slow, but today it was awesome. While I had to stay for the full length of time, my day was good. A lot of my classes had presentations, so we got play games after they were finished. I brought SkipBo to work and had fun time teaching them the game. Dear SkipBo, Thanks for being a fun game that forces my students to practice giving instructions and counting in English. 

Matt went to the bank to get the money for our trip. Cambodia takes USD so we pulled out cash to use. Dear USD, After 9 months of using Korean Won- it's weird holding and seeing you. 

Dear Thursday, You went by quick- and that's what count. Matt and I spent the evening packing and cleaning up our apartment. 

Dear Friday, You are finally here. Although the week went by fairly quick- I'm still happy to see you. Matt and I got up earlier than usual with the hope that we can go to bed earlier since we have to wake up really early in the morning. We'll see how that goes. I also spoke with my mom for a bit- which is always a nice thing. 

We have everything ready for our trip tomorrow and are very excited. Today our school had a movie/ pizza party all day so work was super easy. And I got to go home two hours early! Woot Woot! 

{There is nothing better than getting to leave work when it's still light outside.} 

Dear Cambodia, Finally you're here! After months of waiting- it's finally time to leave. I can't believe it. I hear you're going to be 95 degrees. I'm not looking forward to the heat, but I'm sure the temples will more than make up for it. 

Well- I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend. I won't be in the blog world for a few days, but I'll try to keep in touch with y'all via Instagram. 

Love, Alex 

Oh PS- Dear Joe, 생일 축하합니다!!!!
