In other news, my first complete grad school application is done and done. The world around my sighs with relief, but all is not at peace. There are 4 more to go.
Right now my neck is cricked from sleeping the wrong way on my bed, which is a mutant piece of furniture. The headboard is something from a zombie princess castle - made of two shades of pink velour all rouched and quilted and fashioned to look like a crown. The mattress is as hard as the floor. Good for my back, I suppose. My stomach is gurgling unpleasantly with an overdose of street food. Yes! I finally tried the Korean street food. Three pieces of seaweed-wrapped glass noodles soaked deep-fat-fried several times over. Yum? The food stand seemed to be a display of steaming oil in vats of various shapes and sizes depending on the delicacy that was soaking in it. Heart-attack corn dogs, anyone? Diabolically delicious pastries pressed flat into a sheet of oil and left to steep? The paper bags in which my treats were handed to me dissolved into a mess of greasy parchment.
I gobbled down more than I should have as I sat in the staff room writing up next week's plan. We're covering the scintillating theme of Transportation. Now, which half-assed paper craft am I going to impose on those children next...?
OMG tell them about American monster trucks! Ask the kids to come up with pros and cons for them. I think it would be hilarious.

I might just be really hungry right now, but the Korean street food sounds really good..
