"Teacher, North Korea... CRAZY!"

Yup, that was uttered by one of my students yesterday. I had no idea what was actually happening until around 6 pm (hours after it happened) when a co-worker told me, because my kids kept insisting that North Korea had dropped a bomb on South Korea (which I figured I WOULD have heard, despite no radio or TV).

But yes, still safe, and far far away from the area that was actually hit. Could my paranoid decision to NOT teach close to Seoul in case of a North Korean crazy attack actually be a good decision? Shocker! But if I had been truly paranoid, I wouldn't have gone to Korea at all haha.

So my last post was entirely a lie. Laziness and work are catching up to me. But I will update.... sometime. I refuse to work Saturday, so maybe then ^_^

Now off to finish prepping for my class today. I'm making all my children into Indians and Pilgrims and forcing them to sing Thanksgiving songs.

Still Alive

Haven't updated in a while because things have been crazy at work. And my life has been pretty boring. I swear, pinky promise, that I will update this week.

I just had a sudden realization of what I want to do with my life. But I'm keeping it close, just in case this realization is sleep deprivation driven instead of an actual epiphany. And no, it does not involve teaching English in Korea forever. It does, however, involve me going back to get another undergrad degree (which should hopefully take less time) and continual travel. A pretty nomadic lifestyle, which will suck if I ever get serious with anyone. It's just so hard to pick a career when you're interested in everything!!

In other news, went to a temple on Sunday, which was pretty awesome. And I experienced doctor fish as well (on Saturday), which was just mildly creepy
