Naesin (내신 = exam-prep time) is starting again this week, the final of the four naesin periods Korean middle-schoolers undergo annually. I have a tradition (a habit?) of buying a pizza party for well-behaved classes of middle-schoolers during our last class before the prep-time starts, since during the prep-time I don't see them much.
Curt asked me, "Why do you buy them pizza?"
Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, I explained, "I want them to miss me."
When I went downstairs to have the front desk clerk orker me a pizza for one of my classes, Helen asked me, "what is this, pizza season?"
"Yes," I laughed. "Pizza season."
