Music is the glue that binds us

The most beautiful thing happened at work today. I was playing cards with three of the 5th graders, they are all boys, we had the radio on, as we usually do during the afternoons. At one point Set fire to the rain with Adele came on and as we were playing I find myself sitting in a little boys choir as they all sing along to the chorus, I couldn’t help but to smile when I see three 12 year old boys singing their heart out to Adele. It was so cute, because they were totally focused on the card game we were playing and the singing just came. My precious, precious boys, I really love my job SO much and I know why I want to become a teacher so I can work with kids like this forever.

Ma girls...

My darling Cia is leaving on a jet plane soon and I don’t know when she will be back again. She is going to China to further develop her already savage Chinese skills. It will be a little weird that she will be gone for so long. I haven’t known her for that long, it’s actually only been two years since we met for the first time (still remember how she tried to force me to listen to CN Blue’s 외톨이야), but it feels like we have known each other for a lot longer than that. When I became friends with Cia I also got Fia and it’s funny how close we have become. I am amazed everyday that they even want to hang out with this grandma but I thank them for their patience and they are two girls that I will always cherish. It’s funny how our journey together started in Seoul and how we all might end up in that neck of the woods again. Fia has applied to go on an exchange to Hankuk University in Seoul in the fall and I have my fingers crossed that I will find a job so I can go too. It would be pretty cool to all live so close to each other in Asia. They talked about going to Japan next new year and I think that sounds like the best idea ever. What do you say? New Year 2012 in Tokyo BABY!!!
