it's 1:33 am, oh dear- how's time flying like this? almost another payday, too (woo-hoo)
that means we're hitting month 4? no way!
it's getting more and more fun, too. oh, and busy. i'm doing the online certification course-- although i really should spend more time on it as that it has an expiration date... but when i do get to it, i find it to be helpful for planning. i'm also taking a korean language course two days a week for 7 weeks... they call it beginner's but the teacher moves pretty quickly: fingers crossed that i can keep up.
also, summer semester just began, which means i have a few new classes and a slightly different schedule and new books to boot! today was the first day of that schedule and it was going so remarkably well, by the time i got to my final class i was all kinds of charged with energy and excitement for the lesson plan at hand... but this class happened to consist entirely of brand new students, and i think my energy level scared them more than a little. unfortunately, their somewhat frightened and somewhat bemused faces didn't dampen my teaching fit in the least, and i'm sure they'll be happy to see me on a more normal level on wednesday, anyway.
i've been able to be more social lately-- though i'm missing the german bar. i got in a trivia night, though, with a lovely group of ladies, and some one-on-two time in seoul with some friends from back home (you know, the fancy ones)... made a couple of korean friends, too, finally: helped one prepare for a big english debate (always feels cool to help out).... even made buddies with some local college students over dinner the other night, continued with them to the song room, then kevin wound up trying to carry the drunkest one home.... it was adorable.
and, of course, our new buddy tamara is keeping me all smiles-- shout out, tamz! : )
so it's a shortie- but there's your update, ya buggers. i'm going to eat my potato and call it a night.
*mwah*
