OK here's my plan: I'll give you short concise summaries of the events that have happened over this week.
Monday was the first day of a volleyball tournament and also the last day for us. The atmosphere was off the hook, something I never expected from a bunch of middle-aged teachers representing their schools. But some of the younger female teachers from our school showed their support and were cheering the whole way through all of our loses on. It was really cool to be there with the cheers and the gasps at every play. I wish I had played a better game but we did the best we could've done considering our school doesn't have a gym and these other club teams practiced daily.
Another awesome thing about this event was watching other players run an entire game. The level of skill is peaks and valleys. Luckily, for those good-spirited teams with little talent, and in typical Korean fashion, there's an abundance of free snacks such as half-decent rice cakes, cucumbers, and watermelon. The principal who watched both our games took us out to dinner for some spicy octopus, shrimp and cow intestine. It was great.
And that was my Monday!
