It’s been a while since my last entry… sorry about that. It’s been a little crazy at work. Actually, I don’t even remember what my last entry was
Updates: Basically, I’ve been working… a lot. It’s not too bad. I generally wake up around 10ish, go to work at noon, and then work until 8 or 9 pm. Then it’s usually either off to eat something quick with my coworkers, or head back to my apartment, where I generally watch a movie or two (or drama or anime) before I nod off. Nothing too exciting. Sad news is that my internet disappeared on Sunday! Well, not MY internet, but the internet that I was mooching. Le sigh. So I can’t go online unless I go to the café or work. So lately, I’ve been heading out around 10, so I can have an hour or two of internet before heading into work. Like I said, way boring. The most exciting thing, well actually, there’s two! The first is that I discovered that HomePlus takes Visa (which so far has taken a beating in the last two visits). The second one is that there’s a new foreign teacher, a GIRL teacher! Wooo! I’m not the only girl anymore. She’s actually pretty cool, my age, and she’s from Cali. Actually, a new teacher came Thursday, so there’s another guy here. At least it’s two girls for three guys. And another teacher arrives manana.
Hmmm, what else?? I observed the other campus on Friday. It was pretty interesting to see how the classes are taught. Oh, and I gave a demo on Thursday (without ever actually seeing a class), so it was pretty nerve-wrecking. Especially since the boss and the Korean teachers sat in too. I didn’t do TOO bad…. The criticisms I got were that it was a little too much like a lecture, and that I spoke a little too fast. I’m giving another demo tomorrow. Hopefully, I’ll do a little bit better this time.
Today is my only day off from work. Yesterday was a placement test, which took way longer than expected (so hardly any internet use). Afterwards, we all went out for a pizza and then for some beer and soju (which is gross, but extremely delicious in cocktail form). ^_^ The whole “that’s what she said” FINALLY made an appearance yesterday while drinking! I was wondering if only people from the states did it! We rounded off the night with a game of “Never Have I Ever,” which is always a good way of meeting people haha.
No exciting plans for today because I’m quickly running out of money, so I have to conserve!! I had hoped not to use my credit card at all while I’m here, but that turned out to be impossible. I still have some money left… I just didn’t want to exchange them into won, hoping that I would be less tempted to spend it. So I’m off to the bank tomorrow to exchange the rest of my money.
That’s about all I can think of right now. I’ll try to blog more frequently. It sucks not having internet!! Hopefully, though, I can get a phone soon! Or I’ll soon become a frequent visitor of cafes and HomePlus
Mm, pizza in Korea! Is it as delicious as U.S. pizza?
ReplyDeleteAlso, hope your second demo lesson was rockin'!
Pretty much, although I just got a cheese pizza (I was poor and couldn't afford toppings). My second demo went really well!! The only criticism I had was that I went through some of the material a little to fast, but that was it :)
