Report cards are all done! Thank God. With any luck the next round I’ll be doing on my computer at home. Don’t get me wrong, using the PC Bang is good and cheap, but I’d rather not come out smelling like some awful combination of sweaty teenager and cigarettes. But that’s just me…
Found out that [...]

Weekend Wanderings…

Figure I have a couple of minutes before class to get to my pictures from the weekend:
I’ve got to admit, this is probably a little more what I expected from parts of Korea. Took a fair amount of wandering to find a place to take these shots, but I think they came out alright.
Report Cards

So, back to the PC Bang.
Turns out that after every month, I have to fill out a crapload of report cards. We’re talking about 50+ students. All who need individual comments. It’s an interesting experience, mainly because I find myself repeating myself quite a bit.
That and we’re talking major grade inflation as well. I got [...]

For the love of God, somebody stop this man before he ruins anymore cherished childhood memories of mine.

Yep, went and saw the new Indiana Jones movie last night. I’ll leave it at this, the title of the movie is “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” I’ll offer some others for you as well:

Saunas

I’ll save some of you the trouble of asking… No, I didn’t take any pictures while I was there.
Moving on…
Here’s the thing about the saunas in the States… they’re always attached to a health club, gym, or something that I’ve never really gotten the taste for whenever I was there. I’ll occasionally bust out a [...]
Picture Dump, Round 2

Well now, let’s start off with the lovely city of Ansan…
That’s my school there on the third floor. This style of building is pretty typical for Ansan…
This is the main drag of the part of town that I live in. It’s not too shabby, but all of the buildings are built pretty much identical. Around [...]

K, so I carried my laptop into work today to jack their wireless signal for a bit to try and get these pictures up and running. So here goes nothing:
Bukhansan
This was outside the subway station there. Not too shabby.

Good news! We’re getting things set up finally. That means we’ll have my ARC all ready to go sometime soon, which will mean cable and internet for me!
Bad news! I’m out of money. I’ve got maybe $50 to get through the next three weeks. Dear Mr. President… SEND ME MY CHECK ASAP PLEASE!!!
So still no [...]
Long time no see…

Yeah, still no internet. So that means little to no actual updating for probably about two weeks. I just today was able to get online to get to a few important things that I’ve forgotten. Turns out I’m like the one teacher who can’t leech wireless access from where I’m at. Weak…
One hell of a [...]
