Birthday Adventures

Hubs recently joined me in our "last year of the 20s".  Yikes!!  When did that happen?  Guess we better fit in as much wild and crazy stuff as we can before we hit the "responsible 30s" next year. :)

We were both pretty tired from a long week so we kept the birthday celebration low key.

We did enjoy the excuse to try out one of the Korean Baskin Robbins' ice cream cakes.  They make seriously elaborate ones here!  We had one of the more simple ones (it was a hard decision between this and one shaped like a Korean cartoon character) but it was still super yummy!

Ignore the placement of the chocolate ball.  He didn't turn 209.

Since we didn't get the Korean cartoon character shaped icecream cake I was excited to find some on birthday hats instead!!

Hubs wasn't quite as excited about them but he humored me and wore one anyways. :)

Junior High ESL Adventures

I don't know who picks the topics in the "English as a Second Language" book we use for our reading curriculum at my school.  Whoever it was, I have some suggestions for articles they should take out for the next edition.

While zits are in fact an appropriate topic for my junior high students, it makes class discussions a bit awkward.  Especially when they ask me to help them translate the meaning of the sentence:  "As the levels of hormones in teen' bodies change. . ."


And if you don't think that is bad check out what the topic is for next week's class.

Did I mention I'm teaching this to a class of 12 and 13 year olds, predominately boys?  Should be interesting!
