I had a little bit of a rough week. I was left with a lot to think about. I was also pressing myself to make things known to others. I spent a lot of time thinking and a lot of time with Jason and Amanda. It's hard to explain everything. I got upset and now I feel like I'm giving up. I can't win the battle, so I'm walking away. In light of open class, the school has decided to rearrange Katie's and my class. Katie and I spent a lot of time thinking about what would be best for the kids. The school wants to do what will make the parents happy. I don't understand. This is school, it isn't a business. I think that it would be worlds better if they quit looking at it like a business, but they won't. So I'm done. I have nothing to help them with. I am not here for the parents. If they would just tell the parents we have the students' best interests in mind. Kelly lied. She really didn't want me here to improve the school. She wanted me here because of little piece of paper I own and the words on it. She thinks having people with a certain degree will make her school better. I read a proverb and it is right, "You can pound a fool and the foolishness will never come out." It's the message version. So I'm no longer pounding fools.

I went to dinner with Jason and Amanda on Tuesday. Then Jason and I went to get glasses. I got glasses and contacts for 85,000 won. Then on Wednesday Jason, Amanda, Katie and I went to Hard Rock for dinner and then to pick up our glasses. Katie and I went shopping. Friday, I had dinner with Jason and Amanda at Hard Rock again.

had play practice on Saturday, I got up and went. It was so cold. I had lunch with Amber and David at the Express bus terminal. Then I went to Insa-dong. I finished my christmas shopping. I can't find wrapping paper. I'll probably just send them unwrapped.

Sunday, I went to church at SIBC. I then went to lunch. We hung out until it was time to go back to church and see the Children's Christmas program. It was really sweet and they did a great job. It snowed Sunday morning. It was amazing. It was beautiful. It was pretty cold too. It was really nice.

I know there is more to write about. Many of you probably have questions and are wondering what comes next. I have some people I need to talk to before I can share more. I'm hoping that Gayle will let me be selfish so I can call my dad on his birthday. I hate waiting. I got a card from Hilda last week. I haven't heard from Tammy in awhile. She might have gone to pick up Esther.
