At last

Well hello everyone. I have finally taken the big step of creating a blog. Now comes the even bigger step of actually keeping it up to date...

I don't have much time to write right now, but I'll try to do a quick up-to-speeding.

Let's see....what's been happening. Where should I start?

School is going pretty well. I really like it here, the work is easy yet somewhat fulfilling. And I really do love kids, so it's nice to be around them all the time. Even if sometimes they are little shits. But it's nice, they treat you alsmot like a celebrity. Accosting you in the halls and giving you presents. And they are so cute, it's almost unbearable sometimes.

This past week was a little trying because the teams were particularly low (as in their English skills are very very weak) but it kept us on our toes for sure. My team were a bunch of sweethearts though, so that makes it easier considering I spend about 40% of my time with them.

Last weekend we went to a water park in Everland, which is a huge amusement park (I guess it's a blatant rip-off of Disney Land. Though I wouldn't know cuz I only went in the water park part of it) near Seoul. We had a blast. Though the rules were very odd. Everyone had to have a bathing cap on at all times and life jackets were manditory in the wave pool. Which might be understandble because I doubt that many Koreans can swim very well. But when they see you doing the breat stroke and then whistle at you to get out of the water...wouldn't it click that maybe you know what you're doing.... Anyway, it was midly annoying but didn't really put a damper on our fun. We all got sunburned and were exhausted by the end of the day. It was pretty sweet. And we got some cool bathing caps for a souvenir.

I finally bought some rollerblades a few days ago. Haven't been out on them yet because its been really hot, and well, I do have a social life sometimes. I'm afraid I'm only going to be able to use them in very specific places which kinda sucks. Not like at home where I just blade down the middle of the street and no one seems to care. Here I would die if I tried to do that. But I discovered a Youth Centre near school where they have a rink specifically for rollerblading. It's really small, but the area around it smooth too, and I've seen people skateboarding there so I'm thinking blading would be allowed. I can't wait to get on them this weekend. It will be very freeing.

And I'm officially obsessed with Home Plus. It's a department store that's less than a block from our apartment and I have been there every day this week. But they have everything a person could possibly need. That's actually where I got my ill-fated bunny that some of you may have been aquainted with. And my rollerblades. And my guitar. And pretty much everything I've bought since I got here.

And I thought I'd sign off with some wisdom from a t-shirt I saw and almost tried to buy off the woman's back. I probably would have if I thought she would understand me. It said:

Algebra is for lovers.

Think about it.
