2 Chicks and a Plastic Bag

This ain't no shopping trip with your girlfriends! This blog is literally about 2 baby chickens and a plastic bag. Allow me to continue...

So I walked into my classroom today to begin teaching my second 2 hour class and there on Lily's desk laid 2 baby chicks that were hardly moving. It was chaos! Everyone was crowded around the poor animals trying to pick them up and touch them. It was actually quite sad, especially looking at the plastic bag Lily carried them in with.

My first instinct was to have everyone get up and go wash their hands. These things were probably loaded with germs and diseases and the constant germs I already come into contact with on a daily basis is quite enough for me. I ran to my counter staff for assistance with the children and birds. I sent almost every student back to the restrooms to wash their hands again, this time using soap (because they really don't do that here). Yuck!

We made it through the rest of class without any more distractions but I never would have imagined I'd walk into a class with chickens.

That's Korea for ya! I'm slowly learning just to always expect the unexpected.
