Lunch(e)

I ate lunch today with my kindergartners. Because I’m vegetarian the fare is pretty simple… Today’s menu is illustrative of this: rice, kimchi, mushrooms, and bean sprout soup.

After lunch, I taught math to my six-year-olds. One of my students was having a hard time understanding some of the concepts and apparently felt guilty about it…

Now I am home but am getting ready to head out on a bike ride to test out my new GPS app and to purchase a pair of (padded) bike shorts.

Desk.

My desk at work… Messy from planning a 500km bike trip from Seoul to Busan for the Korean Chuseok holiday (the 29th of September through the 3rd of October). 3 days after that I will be running a 10K in Osan. Busy times over here, but life is good…

A Conversation on Homogeny

Student: Siid-a-ney Teacher, why do you have dots?
Me: I was born with them. Why do you have black hair?
Student: Everyone has black hair. (Looks around at the other students. Students nod in affirmation.)
Me: But I wasn’t born with black hair.
Student: You dye it.
Me: No. I was born with red hair.
Student: Oh, you’re different. Does everyone in America have dots and red hair?
