Slackin on posts....

I have refrained from writing much on the blog for lack of time, and motivation when it happens that I do have time. I can’t write at school because the website is blocked for some odd reason. So I decided to write in Word and then paste it into the blog (novel concept I know) and to do this while I am at school and have ample time. I just finished reading Bleak House by Charles Dickens which claimed my attention at any and every free moment: at a stoplight while on the bus, during my off time at school, at home, at the bust stop, and, yes, even in the bathroom. But now that’s done and I don’t know what to do with myself. Ha. It was a freakin good book if you have the time to sit down and read a 1o00 pager. (or something like that, I can’t remember precisely). And now on to the next! Man I’m going to be so well read by the time I get back. Anyway, the new plan is to keep you guys updated. Sorry for our lack of info, but we are neophytes in the whole blogging business.

Ok so, Korea. Korea is awesome! At least I think so. Micah is having a little bit harder of a time because his co-teacher isn’t a guy so he can’t relate as well to her and can’t form a closer bond. Whereas I have the best co-teacher ever! Seriously, I’m not just saying that because I know she’s reading this, hehe. But truly, you will have to come out and meet her when you visit. Or she and her husband will just have to visit us in the States.

I just got back from a training week for GEPIK (Geonggi province English teachers) that lasted four days and three nights. And when I mean just got back, I mean last week…. It was really long, but really good. The food was great, the company was fun, and the materials enlightened me as to the Korean culture and how to teach English better here. I was really inspired to do the best I can and get the most out of my experience because of three people from Bucheon: Darren, and Martina and Simon (you may know these two from “Eat your Kimchi” a sweet blog that they’ve set up. If you don’t know them, you should check out their site because it’s hilarious!). So I am learning Korean like a fiend and trying to talk more with my co-teachers and be a “cool” teacher by brushing up on Kpop culture. Seriously, go to You Tube and check out some of “Rain’s” music videos. He’s a good dancer (even if a little conceited) and they’re fun to watch. Ok…..on to the next blog because I’ve been expatiating for too long and your probably not reading anymore anyway blah dee bloo dee blah! Hehe I shall see who read this far by the comments….
