Also, as I was walking home from school.. I passed a man who had very dark skin... he almost looked red. Also, his eyes were red and... he just looked rather strange. But, the funny thing was... when he saw me, he gave this little start. His head jerked back a little and his eyes got all wide with surprise. Seeing as I wanted to (but didn't) do the exact same thing when I saw him, I thought it was terribly ironic! I guess I'm still a freak here. Dang it! I thought I was starting to blend in!
Yesterday was school picture day. I was reminded of this by three different teachers, so I took it to be kind of a big deal. Soooo... I got all dressed up (which for most people isn't that dressed up, but you know...) and headed out my door feeling pretty sophisticated and.... well just down right good looking. However, after I had to SPRINT across TWO different roads in order to not get creamed... ones dignity, sophistication and well... just everything sort of flies out of the window. I've seen girls do this before... streak across the road... in heels... hair and scarfs flying... and I used to think... "How ridiculous." I have become ridiculous.
Here are some pictures of my students, my school, my co-workers (In-ji) and me... the "sophisticated" teacher!
As always, thanks for your prayers and encouraging words. I still love emails and for those of you who have sent me letters and packages... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love them!
Please stay in touch!
Miss you, love you, praying for you!

You are beautiful, they see that you are beautiful, so hold your head high and just wink at them when they look surprised to see you!! you'll keep them guessing.
