The convenience store near to my school has banana ice cream (in a container shaped like one of course, freezie style), without chocolate chunks, or chocolate syrup or the like ( Read more... )

X-ray appointment is scheduled Tuesday 2:30pm. I have to leave right after lunch (and miss my one afternoon elementary class).

If I haven't passed it, I go in for surgery that afternoon and stay for Wednesday I think.

Then I return to work Thursday (huzzah!)

I must do my lesson plan for the entire week this weekend just to be safe.

Well, I just came out of being in the hospital in horrible pain. I know I said I wanted to explore Korea but the toilets, the puddles, and the hospitals were all not a part of my plan - honest. I was in serious pain from kidney stones and all they could do was relieve it (it took 3 shots). I feel better, but I hope I don't have to go back again for ( Read more... )

Today I woke up really sick. Vomitting and other details symptomatic of food poisoning. I blame the pork we ate last night (because it was gross, imho) but since the other two (to my knowledge) didn't get sick.... I'm going to have to say it might actually be the cheesecake I ate at the bar. (It was a good, clean, foreigner bar, so who knows...). I ( Read more... )

So........ tired. I don't have class until 4:45. I have to figure out a way to help some students improve their writing skills (two in the next class). We have assigned journals, book reports, they have to do weekly. I am going to ask them to write their own speech for the contests and I will also ask them to write me a report about their city: ( Read more... )

Soooooooooo tired. Sooooooo sleepy. Went out for dinner when I was already tired. Then, instead of going shopping I went to go home with some friends. Said friends wanted to go get some beers. Same said friends who can sleep in later (they have afternoon classes mainly). So I went, because walking home at night, from the distance I was at, was not ( Read more... )

Today is payday. Fa la la. I'm hungry. I need to buy cereal and milk at HomePlus tonight. Maggie wants to get something to eat together (which is cool) but I need to drop off my books and go shopping. Maybe I'll just cave and buy a pencil sharpner. Apparently they only have mounted pencil sharpners (like in schools) in SK. Tiny handheld ones can be ( Read more... )

I was just given an oragami floral heart by one of my students. I'm touched. It's been my fourth gift, and my third homemade gift ( Read more... )

Today was good, but of course journal class kinda bombed. Either, I don't have enough time (first period), or I have too much spare time (third period), so I let them out early to get a drink after singing the zoo song twice. I was being observed, so I'm probably going to get reprimanded for it. Then we came back and tried to learn "Baa Baa Black ( Read more... )

Exhausted. I freaking stopped teaching back at 3:10... (mm. yummy tuna and celery sandwiches and orange juice has kept me going... today lunch had hot dogs in spicy ketchup sauce - yum!) and yet I'm still here. STILL HERE. Trapped. I had to do lesson plans for the next month (September) and the weekly plan was do tommorrow so I thought I should get ( Read more... )
