Much thanks to all of my students in class 46! Your desire to make each other laugh saved what could have been a disastrous morning.

I stepped outside of our office in Cheon-eun Kwan when I noticed a squirrel running for his (I’m just going to assume) life through the corridor. Before I had time to think about whether I was seeing things correctly, two other English teachers — one armed with a cardboard box, the other with a trashcan — burst out of their offices giving chase. Apparently, the little guy had come in through an open window. It’s times like this I wonder if we should press the university to make sure all of our windows have screens.
The squirrel dashed to one end of the hallway where he had hoped to make his escape. We would have gladly obliged had the door not been padlocked. He wouldn’t gain his freedom till a security guard came to unlock the door. I’m sure it was an agonizing fifteen minutes for our furry visitor.
I wonder if squirrels get PTSD.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Korean translations of The Walking Dead comic book are available. Thanks to my student Joon-hyun Lee for loaning me these.

When too many of us complain about first-world problems or allege threats of questionable urgency, I’m happy to see a living history maker talk about how she had the courage to put herself on the line and fight for the most basic civil rights. We are all familiar with the heroic actions of Rosa Parks. Claudette Colvin’s story may be lesser known, but is no less inspirational.
