hey hey hey

I'm not sure if has been a busy week or if I've just been avoiding sitting down infront of my notebook...probably more of the latter. It's a new term at school, new classes to prepare for and new names and faces to learn. The seasons are changing and another Korean winter is here...blah blah blah...so on and so forth. All of my applications for teacher's college in Ontario are off and today was the final deadline for all "aspiring teachers" to get their crap together. Now I just have to sit on my thumbs in Korea for the next 3-4 months waiting for a response. This part really sucks...the wait!

Well, I went to Nampo-dong last Sunday to do a bit of shopping. It's more than an hour away on the subway so lately it might as well be on the moon...too far away. I've become accustomed to nesting in the Jangsan/Haeundae area. Everything I could ever possibly need is within a 10 minute walk...3 movie theatres, 3 supermarkets, 2 department stores, a mountain, a beach, parks, a Starbucks...difficult to leave! It almost feels like Canada....but not quite.

Nampo-dong goodies....every possible vegtable under the sun, pickled in some sort of red-pepper paste...a gastro-intestinal feast...stomach/intestinal stress in a silver bowl!

When I choose an ATM...I like "Nice Cashing"

Ah well...I started a 6 day a week schedule this term. I work Saturdays for the next 3 months. The money will be nice, but I'll miss having a 2-day weekend. I'll be playing tomorrow night at U2..the Hermit Kings will hopefully impress the crowds in Haeundae.

Sunday has now become my new favorite day of the week, especially since it's the only one I have off!! It's one of the joys of working at CDI. What will I do? What will I do? Not much of anything I think.
