Today is Sports Day. This means a day filled with music, races, parents, cotton candy, balloons, and an entire-school Gangnam Style dance bonanza.
I forgot my camera.
However, I do intend to get some snazzy iphone footage of the socutecanitakeyouhomeplease first and second graders running around. Maybe get a shot of the 5th grader wearing the "ATHEISM COMMUNISM AND FREE LOVE" (Reed College motto) shirt. That's a lot of worldview statements for a 10-year-old to be sporting. To be fair, he wears it with a big smile and lots of energy.
In Korea, Sports Day doesn't just happen. You spend a week practicing for it/making shirts for it/thinking about it. On Tuesday, classes were cancelled for a school-wide rehearsal, which basically meant a few races, some dancing, and an innumerable amount of students running up to me and pointing at my legs.
"Teacher! Long! Wow!"
