seriously?

I made it. So glad weekend is here. Planning on spending the majority of the weekend prepping...getting a pedicure with Laine tomorrow... hopefully doing some hiking on Sunday... must get out of city.

Package from Tanner came today. I told Laine that Tanner had included (per my request and against his will) a trashy gossip magazine for her. When she caught word the package arrived, she ran through the halls with a butter knife and tore the box to shreds.  

..going running in the morning with my new hospital mask!

....was approached this evening (at 730pm after all my classes were said and done) to privately teach AP psychology to the child of some wealthyman on Saturdays...

If you're wondering, I declined.

DONE!

Session one is officially over!  Tomorrow marks the first day of session two, aka, the end of my life.

I'm teaching a completely different reading and writing class, plus biology.

Check up on me if you're worried I've keeled over... I just might.

Dae-han-min-guk!!!!

processual symbolic analysis





Last night a group of teachers and I hopped on the subway to the World Cup Stadium and watched the North vs. South Korea soccer game. As far as the quality of soccer, though I am no expert, I'm pretty sure Tanner could have run any of those boys into the turf...

I have no words to express my amazement of having born witness to such an event. 

Enjoy the photos. 

PS. The above photo is from sushi 990, our favorite new conveyor belt sushi restaurant.

Terror between the sheets

It's 9:14am and I'm so grateful for having had my first experience of sleeping in in Korea. Unfortunately, the reason for my ceased slumber came courtesy of a horrible dream...

Somehow I had managed to sneak into North Korea with my mother. Conspicuous (duh), I was caught by a North Korean soldier who in an instant, took me to consult with Kim Jung Il. He was wearing a blue polo, jeans, and choccos. Weird.

After being analyzed by the Dear Leader, I was given the option to either join his 1,000,000 man army for the next four years, be his lusty lady, or have my head chopped off.

I woke up before finalizing my decision.

Reckon he'll be at the soccer game tonight?
