The Last Monday

Today was the last Monday of instruction for this school year. I can't believe how fast it is coming to an end. I can't say I'm disappointed, though. I can almost taste the end now. I'm so excited for the summer; I will be home in just over 2 weeks!!

I have been trying to make the most of these last few weekends because many students and staff are leaving TCIS. The past two weekends I have been to Taecheon Beach, about 1.5 hours from Daejeon. I can't believe I hadn't been there before. It is such a nice beach and so close.

The first weekend I went with 90 middle schoolers for Middle School Retreat. We had wonderful weather and stayed at a lodge right on the beach that is owned by our school. It was so nice to enjoy being outdoors and spend time with each other. We played games, sang, made skits, had quiet time, and even roasted marshmallows around a campfire. Here is a video of the kids during a worship time singing their favorite song. :)

This past weekend I went with my 4 best friends here in Korea. Sarah came down from Suwon, and we went on a road trip! Anna got a car this week so we all packed in a drove to Taecheon Beach. Although the weather was cool and rainy, we had a great time. We managed to avoid getting lost and found plenty to keep us entertained. We went to noraebang, had mud massages, and watched movies. It was a great getaway before we all get really busy with grading and packing and life. It was even better to spend the weekend all together for probably the last time since Lynz and Jenn are leaving TCIS after this year. I have attached some pics here. Enjoy! And see many of you soon!
