#5o last day of schOol/teachers tRip

last day of semester assembly..


so its the last day of semester 1... students are happy because they get 6 weeks off school.. today (21/o7) we didnt really do anything.. students only had 2 periods then they were able to go home after assembly on the field..

after that all the teachers got on the bus to go on a trip to gangwon province (2days 1 night). at first i didnt wanna go on the trip because half of my co teachers weren't going (1 left, the other 1 pregnant).. i was like who am i gonna talk to? in the end i decided to go.. i had nothing else to do.. if i didnt go then i'd have to come into school and just sit..

the trip took quite a long time.. about 3 hours ish.. we went to a beach which was really cool cos i havent been to the beach yet since i got here. On the bus.. within 1 hour.. i started to see a change in the teachers.. they weren't like what i expected.. they were all getting drunk and rowdy on the way to the beach... everyone was telling jokes.. laughing.. walking around giving out food and beer.. it was totally crazy.

we got there and was assigned to our dorms.. 6 teachers in one dorm.. i stayed with one of my co teachers Tina and her friends... they were all young so i got along with them well. We got change and headed to the beach for banana boating.. this was so crazy and totally awesome.. about 12 of us got onto 1 boat.. none of us fell off which wasnt fun.. i wanted to see someone fall into the water haha..

after banana boating we headed back to the dorms to change and go to dinner.. we had dinner at a sashimi place.. the teachers ordered TOO MUCH alcohol and by 9pm everyone was drunk off their faces... when teachers get drunk.. they start speaking english .. its hilarious.. most of them were trying to talk to me.. we were speaking in broken english and broken korean.. i got to know most of the teachers more through this dinner.. alot of them made me drink with them.. i was really surprised because nearly ALL of the teachers can speak english .. i was wondering why they never spoke to me at school.. they told me they always wanna talk to me but im always so busy and they dont feel confident enough because they think their english is not that great.

anwyays so after dinner we decided to go to karaoke.. the VP got so drunk she was running around kissing everyone on the lips.. i was so scared of her i ran and hid on the bus.. karaoke was like a big dance party.. we got one very big room that fitted all 40 or so teachers.. no one was even sitting down .. the whole night everyone was dancing around like crazy..

daniel.. one of my co teachers told me that him and some of the male teachers were gonna go to a club.. he told me to come so that was our plan of actions however we never made it.. the clubs ended at like 3am.. we ended up going all going back to their dorms.. ordered some fried chicken, bought alot of soju and played games. i was taught many korean games that were really fun (esp when drunk). hahaha

we all didnt get to bed until 4am in the morning.. the next day.. breakfast started at 8am so i was dead when i woke up... after breakfast we had time to clean up and rest b4 we head home.. i was so tired i just went back into the rooms and slept until 11am when we had to hop on the bus..

overall.. it was a fun experience.. i got to talk to many of the teachers and got to know them more.. now when i walk around the school they actually talk to me instead of just bowing their heads and saying hello.

(sorry didnt take any photos at the teachers trip.. i was too busy on banana boats and getting drunk haha.)

안녕~
