Teachers' day

Back in the States, I always thought that the holidays were so heavily marketed. Valentine's day started in January. Easter began in February. Halloween in September. Thanksgiving in October. And Christmas... It's recommended to work on the list all year round.

Although I didn't eat 짜짱면 (black bean noodles) on Black day, I had a tough time walking home from work with my hands full- sweets, flora, toiletries, and my personal favorite, handmade cards, just to name a few.

Just a simple hug would have conveyed the message, but I find myself with more reasons to be thankful.
