Speaking of hagwon days, I recently found my old PDA (Palm Treo) and imported my schedule to iCal. Most of my time has been accounted for, except for a large missing chunk from August 2007-February 2008. This was probably the time I felt a PDA wasn’t cutting it and just stopped using it. Then I [...]

This is me, kicking my own ass. There’s lots to say and lots of pictures to show, but I’m one lazy girl when it comes to writing. I’ve never been good at it, and that’s probably why I don’t blog more constantly, even though I really want to. Here’s to more constant updates. Recently, we [...]

My first week back at work was yesterday, and what an easy day it was. Our classes officially start this week (a week earlier than other universities across the country), but all the classes aren’t fully up and running yet. My conversation classes start this week, next week the kids classes begin, and the week [...]

I enjoyed reading this post by Brendan Carr, who’s a lawyer in Seoul. To summarize, he has a message for English teachers who call him up in the evening, complaining about their hagwon boss: “You can’t afford my legal services, so please stop imposing on my free time.” I feel bad for him because I [...]

I wanted to post some pictures from our bowling night in Suwon, which was almost 3 weeks ago. This was also the first weekend that Ras got back from the States. While bowling, whenever anyone got a strike, he/she had to do a little dance. I think I danced twice, and the number one dancer [...]

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending my first ???, a baby’s one year birthday party. The birthday girl was Susana, David and Cathy’s daughter. I had met David at a photography class taught by Mike. Walking into the banquet hall, I had no idea who would be at the gathering that night. Guess [...]

Ras flew in last night and I went to meet him at Incheon Airport for his 9:30pm arrival. The last bus to Gunpo is 10:30pm, but we made it out of the airport to catch the 10:10pm bus home. Unpacking was a lot of fun because it was like Christmas! I received things I requested, [...]
