Photographer, Teacher, Chef, and Cowboy

It's been a busy week. Final tests... grading diaries and essays... speech presentations... book reports... student evaluations... creating new lesson plans for whoever follows me... saying some good byes... and much more... here it is all at once.

I spent this week being a chef... each class put together some recipes and then we actually made them. Some classes were wimps... and we made "Ramyeon" (noodles). Other classes were brave and we made kimbab, sandwiches, and even burritos. It was fun. I was told my cooking skills will make my future wife happy.

These girls were throwing rocks into a frozen lake in an attempt to break the ice. They needed bigger rocks or more muscle...

Joanne needed some more magic hair photos to record the awesomeness of the straight hair. I practiced my portrait photography.

I caught and broke this wild bronco before it could injure any children or old people.

A few characters in my life story...

These two are in my youngest class. We're learning the alphabet, days of the week, and months together. Today this involved me running around the room hitting them with a balloon while they shouted out the days of the week.

She writes with both her left and right hands, but prefers the left for drawing. She once gave me a frog egg as a gift. Her birthday is in December like mine. I think I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for her.

This is Dain... He's an excellent student. Sometimes, when he wants to answer a question and I'm not calling on him, he'll say, "My name is Dain." It cracks me up every time. He insisted on the "study pose" for his picture. Great kid, he'll probably be president or something someday.

This is the famous artist and humorist Harry from a previous post. I asked him to pose with the tool of his trade. I think this represents his personality quite well.

Another young artist. Speaks perfect English when I coax it out of her... the rest of the time she draws in her school books... mostly cats and princesses.
