teachers' choir started again last week

(I can read the lyrics this time), and I thought for the first time, "oh, it really has been a year." School festival is this Friday, and I can't wait to see my students singing and dancing. I want to say 여름동안 울었는데 요즘 점점 안 울어지고 있다 but instead I'll say these days I am little by little coming out of the depression I fell into over the summer. Maybe it's because of the start of a new year, maybe it's because of the rainy season, maybe it's because of the approaching fall. I'm not entirely sure of why I became depressed or why, given the depression, I have become un-depressed now, but anyway.

I think I'll be blogging regularly again, now. (It's hard for me to communicate openly when I'm depressed.)

My dancing students, my Ro-Jun students, my after-school-soccer students keep on trying to get me to play after school soccer with them, and part of me wants to, but the other part of me says, "Oh Pam, remember dodgeball? Don't embarrass yourself." But the real question is: will my students like me more if I play soccer poorly with them, or if my soccer-playing abilities remain a mystery? Because in the end, that's all that's really relevant.
