5 minute heaven highway

a lot going these days
like....

a decent parents' participation day.
except for the fact that it was held on saturday.
'what's a parents' participation day?' i hear you asking.
well, basically we just had to perform a couple of classes in front of the parents.
it's so the parents can come check out the teachers and make sure their kids are having fun and learning and stuff.
of course, it's all practiced before hand so the kids don't botch it completely.
and we do some special activities/games to help the kids learn better.
nonetheless it was another day of work. on a saturday.
but it was a lot easier than i expected.
and i guess it was all made up for with a free dinner with the co-workers followed by some norae-bang.
in korea, we don't use such garbage terms as 'karaoke.'

teachers.
good news: kim teacher is definitely coming around.
she's pretty cool.
no worries with her.
but tammy teacher....
bless her heart.
and lord, grant me patience.
she's a character.
i don't know how to peg her, other than she doesn't really fit in here.
more so than the average foreigner.
maybe i can explain it later.

getting some training done.
more details on training to be posted extremely soon.
i can't contain my excitement about my new training aid.

lining up some language exchanges.
with the help of a korean friend (최서영, 고마워요) i now have multiple avenues to acquire korean.
and help those who need some practice with english.
so hopefully now i'll be learning korean at a more accelerated rate.
though, this means i'm going to have to find some more time for....

LOST
lost ftw.
omgz.
so ridic.
deep into season 2 now.
and it's just getting outta control.
good news for those of you who have been long time followers:
i've successfully converted two non-believers.
may they be blessed and guided down their path for all their days.
many thanks.
amen.

contact.
it's good to hear from people back home.
and a fair amount of that has been going on in the last week or two.
even if i don't get to hear or see them, i'm trying to send some folks my sounds or my ugly mug.
hopefully more of that with more people will come soon.
and i can't forget about contact here and meeting up with old friends.
like oh jung chul/오정철
great times. and more to be had. and with brandon miller too. you better believe it.

a downside of my lost addiction and my new setup of learning korean:
less time with the homies probably on the weekends.
i'll figure it out soon.

anywayszszszsz.
i've got a day full of radiolab lined up.
for dessert: an episode or two of lost.
we'll see how much of life's questions i can stomach.
what with the combination of radiolab, lost, being alone in my apartment all day and what have you.

seoul international marathon training update/post #2 to come this week.

lost of love,

jo
