Still Here

August 29, 2006

We were just assigned our classes this afternoon. Ironically, Thea will be teaching more senior classes and I will be teaching more basic classes. They were supposed to base assignments on our demo lessons… so I’m not sure how they decided that I’m better with small children than Althea. I’m fairly certain [...]

From the other side of the planet…

I created this blog to record and broadcast our Korean adventures.  And we’re finally here.
I’m currently in the teacher staff room since I won’t have Internet in our apartment for a couple weeks.  It doesn’t leave me very much time to write since I’m only on lunch break between training sessions.  But I’ll punch out as [...]

We returned from [...]

Well…

August 6, 2006

I’m married. This afternoon in Square One while buying some stuff for our honeymoon, I kept conspicuously finding ways to use the words “my wife” in a sentence. Sentences with “my wife” in them are way better.
