한국어 모르겠
















Those are from a seafood market across from my school, i had this for dinner that night:

Bahah, ok. So I go to a place called Angels-in-us to blog and study. Well, study not anymore, I'm supposed to get my scores back in 3 days. I sat down and started and this old man (akashi in korean, use 'g' for 'k.') came up and started hangeling to me and I had no clue as to what he was saying.

So i just said "hangel mal, mo-ly-o." (korean language I don't know) : featured in Korean in my title, as I've been working on writing and reading it.

His granddaughter (prolly 12) came up to me and asked me a few questions, regardless of her nervous and diffident giggling, she said:

what's your name
where are you from: seoul (haha, she laughed and said, 'really??')
how are you?

It was pretty funny, I love this country. This is part of why:



We left for Waydaldo Saturday and caught the 2:20 ferry out there, it took about 40 minutes and runs until 6:30 for anyone who is in Korea and needs that info. It was amazing.





Mokpo has 1000 islands surrounding it, some inhabited, some not...














Carlo was not impressed with our minibok:




Carlo and I shared it, and one MASSIVE dude named Chris.

Hey Chris, I found your sleeping bag...


They had a water park on the island, filled with chlorinated saltwater, that was a bit different from the water park I'm used to seeing...haha.

2 weekends ago we celebrated Steve's 213rd birthday, on Jindo Island. In a bogata.





Marie did good with Steve's birthday


haha, i love these pics

"let it be" quickly turned into 'let it steve' (which really made no sense)

Monday through Friday its a job, Friday at 5:30 til Sunday at 11:00...its a vacation

Monday was a bit odd. I found out that I've got 31 3rd grade munchkins, 19 4th graders, 19 5th graders and 7 6th graders for my 4 week English camp. It wouldn't be Korea with out an odd one week 'preparation-teaching-time.' Haha, I've got all my lesson plans on google docs and all the games ready to go. I'm set.

So, during the week of being at work from 9 to 5 not teaching or lesson planning...I will apply to grad school at:

THE University of Houston,
Texas State University,
Florida Atlantic University,
Pepperdine University,
Chaminade University (in hawaii),
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. haha, IUPUI. I love saying that one

Next week will decide if I will apply to the University of Notre Dame Australia, in Freemantle...If they have the same accreditation as the other schools, I'll prolly go there...for REAL!!!

A year ago I graduated college, and a year later I'm deciding on graduate schools stretching from Hawaii to Florida. What am i doing with my LIFE?!?!? haha
