Hello...

I just finished teaching a group of 100 students from the islands surrounding Incheon. They don't have the opportunity to practice their English as much as the kids that live in the city. It was an interesting week. Although their English ability is really low they tried hard. After spending four days with them I can tell you one thing -- they know how to say hello. I heard about a million hellos and their variations this week. Everytime you pass a student in the hall they say hello, hi, or hey. After awhile I can't say hello back anymore. I just smile.

Thanks for all the comments folks. It's good to hear that people actually read this thing.

Not much is happening in Korea. I've been a little down lately about my job. It's a routine and everyday is the same thing. I either have students at my school for 4 days where I teach the same lessons everytime we have students, or we don't have students for months at a time and I sit around and think about what else I could be doing elsewhere.

My friend, and partner in crime, Jen is leaving Korea on June 17th. In less than a month I will be in a foreign country almost completely alone! It's kinda a scary thought. I'm going to miss Jen being next door to me. I'm going to miss having a familiar person from home that knows me and can relate with me. I will probably have a 55 year old New Zelander move in and really what do I have in common with a person I can't even understand. Seriously, I can understand a kid that barely speaks English but a New Zelander -- I have no clue what they are saying. They speak English but I need a translator. I will be okay though. I've become quite the independent person since moving away. It feels good.

I'm going to a soccer game tomorrow. I have to wake up at 6:30am ON A SATURDAY. It should be fun though.

Oh yeah, watched Blades of Glory tonight - dumb movie. I don't recommend.

Peace!

Cured

To the two people that read this (Mom and Sarah) -- don't worry! I'm cured. I fought off the last cold. I feel a-ok.

The sun is shining. Summer is on its way.

I have to start teaching next week. That sucks. Really sucks. Have I mentioned that I hate my job right now? Yeah, pointless job.

Anyway. That's all.

Peace.
