Schedule and other things


Just got my final teaching schedule. 

Things are starting to come back. I forgot what time of the month it is as I got a surprise today. I have reinforcements but it is disappointing that I haven't settled and will be dealing with this on moving day tomorrow. At least the bulk will be done by Monday.

 If you have looked at the first picture you will notice that the schedule runs from 8 am (homeroom) until 5:30pm. Yes. 5:30pm. The kids live at the school, and this is an education focused culture. As I see it, I am in for a BIG education myself. 



I think I've seen these or something similar in the States. It's on the outside of two pieces of glass. I took a video of it but haven't figured out if I can post video on here. Maybe I will put it on Insta.


Final lunch in quarantine. Lovely mixed greens that came packaged. I didn't get to them until they were were limp, but I had enough other items so I didn't get miffed by the texture. There is tuna fish, hard boiled egg, quartered cherry tomatoes, along with the three types of greens that I have no clue how to name. Oh and that is seaweed. Not the healthiest as it has MSG. Also, the sodium is bugging my ears. I have to watch sodium or else the tinnitus roars. 

Ever since my internship in Japan, I have been enjoying eating salads with chopsticks. Korean chopsticks are very nice to handle. When you get the hang of them, they fit snuggly into your hand and wind up being like silverware.

Going to try again to write... Tomorrow I escape. My time of leave has been granted for once a month. I can walk the plank and jump onto the sandy beach without fear of the crocodiles. Well, in reality I'm escaping the crocodiles. I have to do this at least once a month. It helps to renew strength of mind. The renewal doesn't last very long but it is there.  My writing may seem disjointed at times. I'm not sorry for that. It is necessary to be perfectly honest so that I do not mention any particulars. I write irregularly because of the stress I have been going through. It is not that I do not want to write. It is because I do not want to be negative all the time. This little valley is where I currently live. It is a town out in the country. There is no major stores here - just groceries and shops. It's not a bad place to live if you're a local.  My mountaintop rest I like to hike. I typically hike alone for various reasons that ac...

January 23rd Ikea! Looks very similar to the US Ikeas. I guess they're designed pretty much the same with cultural and legal tweaks to make for local standards like kimchee rice with Swedish meatballs. Office setup the way I imagine my brother would have his one day. View from my business apartment - Still undeveloped Sejong. My breakfast January 24th Smart City Sign on Daejeon bus stops Why I took the bus to the next city Divine burgers...first burger I've had in over 5 months. It was wrapped in lettuce instead of bread. Ok. Next time I'll cut it into a salad. I think the flavors will go much better. Missed mustard. Fries were decent.  Fries bag...

Finally realized not to add the fillings until after the base of the omelette. Cooked the onion, colored bell peppers, and mushroom. Set them aside and then cooked the egg flat. When it was more than half done, added the veggies that were sauteed in coconut oil, salt, pepper, and (my standard) turmeric.  My workspace. Enjoying the kindergarten class. Is it child labor to have them color the shapes? I'm going to cut them out later, laminate, and use them for learning activities. That class is fun. Just have to move and be speaking English with them. Of course, what I say and do is very purposeful but it's fun at the same time. Sejong City Hall - used the panorama setting with the camera vertical to get this picture. The angle was too tall and too wide for regular pictures. Panorama has other uses beyond the 360 degree view.
