EVEN MORE STUDENTS!!!

From left, Holly, Simon, Sally, and Jane. Out of all of my students, Simon is probably the most annoying. The three girls, as is usually the case, are among the least. They also help me carry my stuff back to the office at the end of class each day.

From left, Kurt, Mary, Mike, Elwood, and Sally. Kurt has been pegged as gay by his previous teacher, but aside from a "John Teacher... very handsome", I haven't seen it first-hand. Apparently he fondled the previous teacher's man-boobs on a few occasions, but I don't know if I'm going to let that go down. This class reaches an ear-shattering decibel-level, but they're very enthusiastic and bright. Mike's casual peace sign is, to me, hilarious.

From left, Quincy, Megan, Ralph, and Jeannie. Ralph WILL be the Korean Louie Anderson some day... not the washed-up, three-packs-a-day Louie that you see on "The New Family Feud", but the more-affable, not-dying-in-front-of-your-eyes tub o' lard from the "Rodney Dangerfield's Young Comedian's Showcase" days.

At first I thought Jane's Pictionary rendering of "smell" was unique, but Marie told me that Korean children will often draw people taking a whiff of poo, kind of in the same way that high schoolers scribble anarchy symbols and pentagrams all the time. I'm not kidding.

From left, Anna, Liam, Kaleigh, and Joseph. Liam is the student who I find to be the most fascinating; I haven't been able to tell yet whether he's brilliant or dumb as stone, and it's rare that you have a kid who hits both ends of the ability spectrum. He's also a genius at making card castles, further cementing my fascination.

Just to let you know, my digital camera seems to be broken right now. I'm concerned about this.
