Hello everybody! I know that it’s been a while, but here I am. So, these last few weeks have been pretty busy. Two weeks ago was mom week, meaning that moms had the option to sit in on our classes. This made me more than a little nervous, but I think it went pretty well. The same week as mom week was when Matt and Mark came to visit. It was really nice seeing some familiar faces out here. I guess you can say that them being here helped energize my batteries, and I think that I did a pretty good [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone I know it's been awhile since I've last written, but I've had a very busy week, all of which I will be updating to you in painstaking detail. I, however, won't be reciting this past weeks events on this update because I'm currently on my brand new iPod touch brought here straight from America. I just wanted everyone to know that I'm doing great and updated blogs will be coming soon. [View Full Entry]

Hello, hello, hello. After an uneventful weekend, I had a pretty good day at work. First off, I finally got my alien registration card, which means that Korea opens up to me a great deal. I'm getting a cell phone tomorrow. I also got a bank account today, which means that I get paid tomorrow, nice! Those are two awesome things that I've been restlessly waiting for. This weekend is Choesok (I think that's how it's spelled). Choesok is best described as Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled into one. In other words, three day weekend! The second cool part about this holiday [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! So, on Saturday we all went to a teamwork development picnic about an hour bus ride away from Bundang. It was actually kind of fun. The Koreans, Canadians, Americans were randomly put into three teams, and we competed in a bunch of different activities. I was on team C. The first half was indoor talent type stuff. The first activity was a team cheer, which I was barely able to keep up with because most of it was in Korean. We then had an individual talent thing, which Jessica took care of with my team. Next was a Charades [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! I decided to put up a random update, just stuff off the top of my head. To start things off, I think my milk went bad. On Saturday morning I had a bowl of cereal, and I didn't feel right the rest of the weekend. Normally you can tell if milk is bad, because it stinks. The milk, along with everything else here, is a little sweet, so I think that the sweet smell may have covered up the horrible bad milk smell. In other words, I wasn't feeling too wonderful for the weekend. I spent most of Saturday [View Full Entry]

I kind of want to talk about how lucky I am for getting into the school that I got into. A lot of English speakers that come over here to teach don't always fall into the greatest of situations, not to say that they are in bad situations, just not ideal. I'm literally a minute and a half walk away from my school. I've talked to and read about foreign teachers being a half hour subway ride away from their schools, and that's probably the average. My apartment is rather big for being just me living here, and there's air conditioning, [View Full Entry]

I was hoping to have a driver pick me up from the airport, but since there was so much of a mishap with the weather and what not I wasn’t shocked that there wasn’t anyone. Almost instantly there was a guy on me that spoke very little English and really wanted me to ride in his taxi for a bit more than locals pay. Normally I would have put up more resistance, but I was tired of lugging around my luggage, and I wanted nothing more than to finally settle in and take a nap. I said fine, I’ll pay the [View Full Entry]

I realize that I haven't been writing as much as I want to, and I haven't put pics up. My only excuse is that I've been super busy. Between learning the new job and exploring this massive city I've been constantly busy. I think that this weekend should slow down a bit. I also want to apologize about not responding to the comments you guys have been leaving. I have been reading and really enjoying them, but I find myself getting online right before school or bed, so I'm either rushing myself or really tired from walking around all day. I'm [View Full Entry]
