New Lunch Table

Today was the second day of our new seating assignments at lunch and dinner. And it is AWESOME. My table before was composed of primarily boys who a) didn't particularly care for my forced English conversations and b) couldn't speak English at all. I basically just sat there and listened to them speak Chinese for thirty minutes each day.

My new table is all girls and already by the second day we have been trash talking the other teachers (in jest of course), talking about our favorite boy bands, and been touching on the subject of how to talk to the boys we may or may not have huge crushes on. Needless to say, I now metaphorically skip to lunch whereas before you just about had to drag me there. I mean, who doesn't like to go eat at a table where you are unconditionally loved?

As if that wasn't enough of a day-maker right there, I also found out that I will be attending a Korean pop boy-band concert this Saturday with a handful of students and our Dean of Faculty in Taipei. It's like god looked down upon me and smiled today.
