within five months, i've been to the golden gate bridge twice now. yes, that's right, yours truly got roped into taking a new group of students on the ggb field trip last friday. to mix it up a bit, we stopped off at the palace of fine arts. this group only consisted of 4 students [2 japanese, 2 koreans]. it was much more manageable than the group of 26 i had the last time. the two koreans students [erin & tom] were very chatty, especially for new students. miki & seiko, who have been at our school for awhile were still very quiet. it's like pulling teeth getting those two to speak. needless to say, i was quite happy to have tom & erin in the group. i commended them both for their use of english. even amongst each other they spoke in english. before we even left, erin mentioned that she had heard good things about me and wanted me to be her teacher. how sweet. that made me feel good. it's nice to know some of the students think highly of me, sometimes it's so hard to tell with them. erin's a screaming. with every new experience she has, she yells out in excitement. she's quite dramatic. she yelled when she heard i lived in korea. again, when she found out i was a graphic designer. and once again, when she saw a duck. it was actually quite comical. you could tell that both erin & tom were taking in everything they saw with an awe of excitement. it was great seeing things through their eyes. i look forward to more field trips as long as the two of them are there. just where will i end up next is any one's guess. stay tuned for more.

stay gold & be well…
