Going Crazy

Yesterday I had a little girl in my class that had to use the toilet. She went because it was an emergency. I am only supposed to let them use the toilet if they have to use it badly. She went out the door and came back in a few minutes. Soon my children were shouting "ddong!" "ddong!". I knew that is Korean for "sh!t". The girl had diarrhea all over the back of her coat. It was smeared straight down the back. She seemed unaware of it and was trying to go back to her seat. She was also near my desk and I didn't want her stuff to get on my desk. I sent her out into the hallway and let the secretaries know what happened.
Back in the classroom, the students were holding their noses and still murmuring "ddong!". I stood on top of my desk and opened a high window. Of course the class was still in chaos for a while. Yet I wondered, "how does someone get diarrhea on the back of their coat?". I then decided that I didn't want to think about that anymore. This week at the hagwon has been like that every day. I am glad it's Thursday.

I know. I do feel bad for her because I'm sure her friends will be harrassing her for a while.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
