So it's been a few days since i've updated and since them i've arrived in Korea! woohoo! I am currently staying with another teacher in her apartment until Tuesday which is when the teacher that i'm taking over for moves out. All the teachers seem really nice and I hope to make good friends! The first night... despite jetlag... we went out to eat "Korean Italian"... it definitely was very good! then we went to hang out at a few places which includes the HUGE CGV Movie Theater almost diagonal from our school... we climbed to the top and took some awesome pictures...
I'll have to load pictures up later because this is the first time i'm taking out my computer... my ipod was dying... and anyway... yeah i need to preserve power so hopefully this blog will be quick! ^_^.
My first day observing was Thursday, July 23rd... I went to different classes...which included classses i would take over and other classes I watched to get the hang of things from other teachers. It was a tiring day with jetlag setting in at the end... but overall fun.
Friday, I also observed different classes and got a taste of preparing for lessons...woohoo! afterwards I went and saw my apartment. After work we held a going away party for some teachers... we did Naerobang... which is a Karoake Room and then have just hang out every since...
Friday I really conqured some feets (lol at least to me! hehe)...
I walked about a block to get coffee on my own for me and a teacher then walked back to my school... hehe! THEN, later i was able to take a taxi back to where I am staying... this is hard because it was 5am and i dont know much Korean especially not directions so i picked some up from a friend and was dropped off and i walked from wherever I was... come to find out... I was going the RIGHT way! woohoo! i got back home and still not asleep... now i'm writing... hehe... I've tried Kimchi... YUMMY!... a bunch of other Korean food that is just delicious! I'm so excited...
things i'll have to get used to is the Gazmillions of stairs that I have to walk up and down about everday... i probably will end up building muscle in my legs from this! It's so hard! lol!
The students seem very nice and smart... definitely smart... and although a few of them have issues with my size... i think they'll grow to love me no matter what!
I already feel so at home... it just makes it so nice! ^_^.
Tomorrow (or today... i guess... lol Saturday)... My friend is taking me to Itaewon to look around and just hang out! it's so nice of her! ^_^... i cant wait so i better go to bed! Nights!!
i'm so sleepy that i cant think of anything else to write...
the weathers not bad right now... and it just rained today but not too bad!
okay i'm falling asleep typing so goodnight!
Anyoung!
