So yeah, I know I meant to get everything up from the past week up and viewable, but report cards and lesson plans got in the way. You do enough of those, you lose your will to do just about anything. That and bleeding wordpress has decided to make doing pictures a right [...]

Stupid Report Cards
Posted in Uncategorized on June 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
They suck. They take forever to do, and you have to do them every month. That’s not so bad, but when you factor in that I have 55 kids to do, you can see where this begins to become tiresome. It roughly takes an hour to get through a 10 kids, so you do the [...]
Blog name change

After last night’s strangeness, I thought it was apt. I’ll explain more later, and try to get everything up from the game (which unfortunately turned kind of lame) later, but I’ve got a ton of report cards to do and such. So we’ll see.
Broadband

Yeah, my internet here is all sorts of awesome. Let’s put it this way, I downloaded all five of Muse’s albums in something like 5 minutes. Not bad when the file was something like 355 MB.
Anyhow, heading to World Cup Stadium now. Bringing the camera with a fully charged battery to hopefully get some decent [...]

This is just one of those things that you begin to notice over here. A lot of time, especially at night, is spent just sitting around outside somewhere having a beer and watching the world go by. Now you’d be surprised what you see if you just take a couple of minutes to observe the [...]
The Middle of Nowhere

When I woke up this morning, effectively that’s how I felt. I suppose this was my first real day of homesickness, but it wasn’t like I felt like I missed a whole lot back there. Maybe it was just feeling discouraged for some reason.
I ended up at the Manhattan last night, mainly to work on [...]
Tuesdays…

Nothing really happens on Tuesdays outside of my long classes, but tonight I ended up wandering over to the theater to catch the new Hulk movie that just came out. I figure with the speed that movies come and go over here, better strike while the iron is hot so to speak.
The verdict… entertaining enough. [...]
First trip to Suwon

First off, this is how the night began:
And this is how the night ended:
I’ve got other pictures, but they just kind of keep going downhill from here. If you’re dying to see them, click here.
The nice thing about Korea… One thing just kind of leads into another until it’s just a flaming heap of [...]
Sea Snail… Round 2.

Sea snail wins. Yep… I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to shellfish.
Got the internet hooked up at my place finally. I’ll post about this weekend after I miraculously get through the day. Or pass out. Which ever comes first.
Teaching English is Hard
Posted in Korea, Teaching, tagged Manhattan, Teaching on June 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Well, let me rephrase that… Teaching is hard. I feel for all of the teacher’s that I tormented in school now, just because there’s really not a good way to teach grammar. Your source material is quite frankly dull and the only way to really learn it is to read until you can’t see straight [...]
