It goes way back to the days of the vomit in the ball pit. No, you read it right... vomit...in the ball pit. No good right!? We were doing stations in gym class and this sweet little girl named Stella comes up to me with vomit all over her thigh informing me of her sudden bout of illness. She also lets me know that the remainder of the vomit resides in the ball pit, where there are thousands of balls now germ infested. Awesome. Needless to say the ball pit was off limits and still is as they have not been thoroughly cleaned. Imagine how difficult it is for me to remind little children each day that the ball pit, the amazingly fun, colorfully awesome, every kids favorite activity, is still off limits. I am even sad about it as I enjoy the occasional dip into the pool of balls. Why are those things so comfortable!?
That weekend I took part in an activity I quite enjoyed and was a natural at...imagine that ;). I played disc golf in a park a few blocks away from me in the middle of the city. It was super fun and a good source of exercise. I had missed going out and doing active sports besides walking to school and hopping like a bunny in gym class. Disc golf is one of my friend’s hobbies and he plays it weekly so I am confident that I will be playing again, getting better and better with each throw. It is also a great source to meet friends. It is nice to have a variety of people to bump into on the streets when you are the minority. I still don’t mind being the minority by the way, and everyone in Korea continues to be extremely nice and understanding of my Konglish.
Love love LOVE you!
