A While
Hey all,
I haven't written here for a while, I know. I just haven't been in the mood for it I guess. Plus I'm on Facebook and Myspace now so I have a lot of contact with people back home through there.
Anyway, life is good. Still teaching away and having a fairly good time most days. I'm still not sure when my vacation days are going to be but I've applied for a contract extention and it's looking good. My VP seemed surprised. Could be that I don't put off a really happy persona in the office but I think that's forgivable due to the fact that I still haven't learned much Korean.
Could also be that I have given up on the school lunches and am now packing a bag lunch. I think this may have insulted him a little, or maybe he's just super worried that I'm not eating enough (if it's not hot, Koreans don't consider it a meal). He seemed appalled when I showed him my peanut butter sandwhich the other day. Oh well, rice, soup and sidesevery weekday for eight months was long enough. I might go back to it in a while but for now it's gonna be PB+J, yogurt, fruit, and granola bars.
I found a melon that I really like too. I am calling them Canary Melons because they are bright yellow and I think I once saw something similar in IGA with that name. The are awesome. Like a one person version of a honeydew. MMMMmmm. I love trying fruit I've never had before.
I was on the team for the Elementary teachers' volleyball tournament too. I was not too bad but the Korean teachers all made a really big deal of it whenever I managed to do anything. It was weird. I felt like the slow kid in Gym class because of all the lame positive reinforcment. We won a few games but ultimately failed to advance beyond the district level. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
The Korean teachers keep bugging me to bring in my guitar and play for the classes. I have already played for a few of my favorite classes but am not too keen on doing it for all of them. Stage fright, plain orneriness, who knows why? But, I found out recently that one of the Korean teachers also plays, so I told her that if she plays so will I. She will not. I might anyway, we'll see.
Uhm.....
That's all I guess. Not too exciting, just the everyday thrill and disorientation of living in a place where logic often seems either lost in translation or completely non-existant.
