It has been over a month since I have blogged. This was due to NaNoWriMo which is now complete, though I am still finishing up the final chapter of my Novella.
Before saying anything else, I would like to say that I miss everyone. Yes, I have made lots of friends here. I am settling into my school nicely, but I miss everyone. I am still a bit sad that I washed out of LA, but that's moot at this point.
I am in Korea now.
Last night, was my first traditional Korean BBQ. This is unusual since just about everyone else has already had Korean BBQ several times. I am just a late comer to it and I don't like spending money on slabs of red meat and Soju (this is the Korean version of Vodka), of course if the company wants to pay for it than I happy to accept.
I had lots of red meat and Soju last night. I skipped Karoke though.
The school itself is fairly nice and well run. This is quite a dramatic change from my last teaching gig that everyone already knows about. The Korean kids are all fairly well behaved and get their work done. Recently, I had some kids get up before class for a speaking project and one of them sang an impromptu song. It was nerdy and funny.
I am still not completely settled into my apartment, but it is a nice studio that is divided by sliding doors. I have to get a desk and a bed, but am waiting on them until I actually get my contract, which I don't have, but hope to have at the end of the week.
If I don't get my contract I go home.
And for those of you who are concerned, I am not getting blown up yet.
