England, here I come...

After contemplating a trip to England a dozen times, I have bitten the bullet and am going this weekend. Its indulgent and irresponsible, but as my friend said, we both have the 4 days off, and all we are going to do is sit there on Yahoo and say "Wish you/I had come" and get all morose about it. So, what the heck? As Armenians say "Life is two days long!"

Oscar-Cho (meaning little Oscar) will be well taken care of by Yoli. She came over last night and met him again, and he took to her immediately. He knows someone cool when he sees one. That is why he picked me out of the thousands of Koreans who had walked by him.

We just got in from a walk, and I often bump into these three sweet girls on the street who know Oscars name already. We met early on in September. I am sure they have talked about us, because now I hear total strangers calling out Oscar on the street. This is limited to my hood obviously and the two parks around my house, but it just goes to show how unusual Oscar is and how our story has gotten around. I am sure they all know all about us. The crazy Canadian who carted a dog from Korea to Bulgaria. I really am a nut case aren't I? A bag of mixed nuts was always my favorite. A little nuttiness is not only fun but necessary to survive this kind of lifestyle, I think.

Also, what is the point of taking life too seriously? So many things are out of ones control!

So I am packed already, this being Wednesday morning. Everyone who has traveled with me knows that I pack way in advance, and this IS way in advance seeing as I got my ticket on Monday.

Today is "wing it day". We have finished the unit, tests are on Wed. next week, and I have to ad-lib classes till then. Fortunately because of the CELTA course I took, I am able to pull lessons out of my #$*. or shall I say out of thin air.

Today, ANIMALS. Not just ANY lesson about animals, but how we use them as adjective to describe people. My favorites: Pig (of course), Cow, and snake. Should be fun. And Friday, we are tearing apart the Black eyed peas song "Where is the love?" Its a lot of work, but the kids are excited. Also on the menu, readings from The Great adventures of Oscar the dog.
