Seonbi Code

The Seonbi Code

We will work and play as a team.
We will respect all people, their feelings, and their rights.
We will trust our teachers.
We will be honest and do our best.

The festival that the teachers who did get asked to participate, is the Seonbi Festival. Ironic isn't it?

Underneath It ALL

Nonsenscial Rant

So today I walked in to class cold turkey. Although, I had actually prepared a lesson, but it was too much work so I switched it at the VERY last minute. I emailed myself this really cool website that had English speaking games on it. Before I well and truly get into my rant, I must explain the English Center where I work. On Wednesday's we get the kids from the elementary school that we are joined with. The other days we get kids from the surrounding schools. So as today is Wednesday, we have our home grown kids. So go into class and I pre-teach the game. All the while there is a Korean teacher wlking around "supervising." So I pull the website and we begin to play the game. Korean teacher comes back and so Vice Pricipal, numerous times. So as I teaching the Korean teacher comes back with a pen and pad and precedes to WRITE down the website, that I researched for my many minutes. Yes, I know it is a website and therefore I cannot claim owership, considering I didn't even design it, but.....I have this to say to Korean teachers who pinch websites. Why? You have so many more resources! You speak korean and English. You are in your country. You understand the written language of this country. So why would you take a English speaking website from someone who has done hours of research and brain-racking? Why?

Where You Will Go.....Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

Yes! I am back it has been over two months since my last post, and it has been very enventful... To say the least. I arrived in Korea. Yes, I actually took the plunge and I am now here, and have been for a little over two months. Frankly, I have this to say....I want to go home. If somebody came to me right now and said, "If you leave everything but the clothes on your body, you can go home. Right now." I would arrive in the States with no clothes, but I would be in the States.

I Stalk, Therefore I Am

I have become a log and email predator.....I check my email and all the blogs at least ten times a day. Do you think this may be lending to the reason that don't have work or packing done? Haha.
Every 30 mins. most times less, I check my email or Snafu's, Kzoo's, somebodies blog. I must, I must check. It's good a thing I don't have a job any longer 'cause if I did I would surely be fired for being on my phone.....lol. I will soon be there but for now I just have to my daily stalks in.....

All Back In

I stuffed more crap in my closet. Yea! It all fit. Trying to do something productive, school books are gathering dust and such. Waiting....Getting ready to be a bridesmaid. Hoping my makeup and clothes look ok. Want to say thanks to everyone who stops by. Thanks to Snafu and MSN for all your "hotel" help.

Cleaning Out My Closet......

In the sprit of Korea, I have started cleaning out my closet. Loads of crap, obviously I am a pack rat. Like 50 year old newpapers pack rat. I trouted it all out and got rid oof stuff, I should have gotten rid of long ago.
It has also been a very unxpected treasure trove. I found things from all the way back to elementary. Things I had forgotten, things that made me smile. Things that made made me cry.
I found notes that were passed in class and in between classes. As I was reading the notes, there were quite a few, I remembered. It was great and not so great at the same time. I have changed, and not all for the good. I lost some things that were such a part of me that they sometimes still struggle to come out. I am a different me. Yea, I know you grow and things change.....but are supposed to lose apart of yourself? Are you supposed feel so lost sometimes, that you know you will never find your way back? That you don't even want to try? I think I am going to stuff all this crap back in here and live in naive bliss for the next few years.......

The Progression

Haven't made that much progrees in any areas. No packing, no homework, no nothing. And I am not even stressing. What a change. Usaully I would be super spazzing......maybe it will hit me later. I am no longer employed, so that means I will be broke fast.....lol. I sent this totally heavy ( 37 lbs) and costly box to Korea. I hope it beats me there! So I will soon be there. Can't wait.

Woe Is Me.....

I just feel like whining today, so here I go. Today has been a trying day...I'm really tired. Been trying to pack and washing clothes and cleaning things out. Went to a job that I should have quit weeks ago, been duped into training the new hires....UUHHHHH!
Got a email from Snafu, she likes Korea, I knew she would, but hasn't received her Alien Card and is not happy about that......
Packing is still a problem. Gonna send some stuff ahead cause otherwise I would still be sitting this as* in America.
I want to give thanks to everyone who comes and reads my insane ramblings....THANKS!
I really want to give a special thanks to all my friends and family who have supported me and put up me in general even when I didn't especially deserve it. Thanks I Love Y'all Lots and I Will Miss You Much.

From the Roots...

Today I went luggage shopping. Wasn't fun for at all, cause I was accompanied. Question: "Why is it that a person who complains about everything, and whom is going to want to leave .2 seconds after you arrive insist on coming along?" Why? So I started packing and I very afraid that won't have enough room to take all the things that I need. So I am at a complete, complete loss. Help! I am in a perdiciment that I just want to rip out my hair from the roots, and that is NOT a good look. Any suggestions?

Nothing to Write About...

As the title indicates I ave nothing to write about today. The only thing on my plate is a load of graduate level course work that I haven't even cracked the book for.

"Here I Am Again On My Own......"

Dropped off my BBFFFFFFF........this morning at the airport. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Because the person that I started this whole "journey" with has moved on past ans without me. Soooo yeaaa. As a person who absolutely prides herself on self reliance I find that I cannot quite face doing this alone. So here I am debating on whether on not I cancel my ticket. Money Be Damned. But I won't come June 24th I will find find myself on a intercontinental flight wondering how I got there.
Today when we were at the local airport and she was checking her baggage and preparing to get on her flight there was such a bubble of elation surrounding her that just couldn't voice what I was thinking. I just have so many mixed emotions.
I just can't wait.......but I can.......

'Ice Ice Baby...."

I am in such a state. My BFFFFFFF.....is leaving. Friday. Without me. I was always under the impression that we would start this journey together and we are not. I don't know how to feel. I have evengone so far as to consider canceling my plane ticket. Yeaaaa. As it gets closer the colder my feet get......

Reconsidering......

Bought my plane ticket. Wishing I hadn't......

Salt Water in My Eyes

Enjoying my time at the beach. Happy I came. On a side note, salt water burns if it gets into your eyes.....bad. Pictures. Pictures!

"Beach Blanket Bingo"

Slightly happy today. Have plans to go to the beach. Even have a far-fecthed plan to sleep on the beach. Hoping that everything goes slighty like I want. Trying to shake the cloud that has settled above me.

"It's A Small World, After All...."

So today at work, I work in a photo lab, I was asked to do a passport picture so I took the customary three shots, and merrily skipped my way to the machine to print them out. As I editing them within passport guidelines, I asked, as I do with eveyone, where she was headed. Her reply was...."Korea." Could have knocked me down with a feather. So I then asked her what part she said "Yeongju." I was almost jumping up and down for, "Yeongju, with a Y?" She looked at me a little strangely at this point and said, "No, with a W."
Is it not amazing that the first passport picture I take after I received my VISA number is of another person who is heading to a consulate to get a visa? Wow. So we preceded to chat for a few minutes and she told me about some real cool phrase books she and her husband liked. You can guess what I did immediately after leaving work......bookstore bound. I went and bout them and even picked up a couple more I thought were interesting looking.
It really is a small world. Or should I say a small town near an Army base?

"Leavin' On A Jet Plane...."

So now that I have my VISA, number I have began to look for plane tickets. Ugh, an arduous process, if there ever was one. I have been to every major airlines website and signed up for many a sky miles program. I want a flight without to many stops.....Delta is looking better and better.
