Ok, I B.S.ed through some high school and university test, but nothing like these answers.  For example, a student’s essay on El Nino, starts out:

“El Nino is Spanish.  It is the Spanish word for child.  Like all things Spanish, it is dangerous.“

This was my other favorite test answer:

I’ve been feeling tired and overwhelmed lately. I’m three weeks into my new job, but don’t feel settled yet. I’m still getting a feel for how things are run at this school, creating templates/forms/attendance sheets for the semester, and planning how I want to teach the material. Since the beginning of the semester, I still haven’t had two full days of relaxing at the new apartment yet. I’m constantly trying, but never feel caught up or well rested. That’s probably one of the reasons I became sick recently.

On that note, I figured I’d to force myself to upload the St. Patrick’s Day pictures, even if they’re a week late. Otherwise, things will keep getting piled up and I’ll never get around to it. I wish I had time to write descriptions for all the photos and a detailed description of the night. Unfortunately I don’t. These are my quick views on the event:

• It was fun
• Worth the 60,000 won
• In the beginning of the night, it was WAAAAY too crowded and hot
• At least there was a free coat check
• The place was packed with mostly all foreigners, which I expected
• I basically only talked to the people I knew - I wasn’t in the mood to meet new people.
• The food was pretty good. By the end of the night, I was SICK of eating smoked salmon, which is something I LOVE eating normally
• The party started at 7 pm, and all the beer was out by midnight, if not sooner.

3 photos from St. Patrick’s Day

I intended to post my St. Patrick’s Day pictures on Monday night after work, but caught a cold that afternoon.  By the time I got home, I just wanted to go to bed.  I’ve been sick the last two days but am slowly getting better, even though my throat is still killing me.  I scrounged up enough energy to post these three photos, even though there were a lot more.  All the St. Paddy Day photos should be up in a couple days.
