Waiting for the Sun

The rain just won't go away no matter how many times I get my kid's to sing the nursery rhyme. It has been sunny on and off. At least the weekends have been nice. The heat is still unreal and the humidity has been 100%, bringing the temp up by almost 10°. It's been around 40° every day at least. THANK GOD FOR AC!!!!

This was a short week as we had Monday off for Korean Independence Day. The weekend was spent playing hockey, reintroducing myself to Korean Night life and outfitting my apartment with a desk, chair and bed so it is now more comfortable. There will be pictures of my apartment soon - it just needs some cleaning. I also took Beth out, she is the new teacher that arrived just a week after me. We went out last Thursday, for a welcome and good-bye dinner. Scott, who taught at LCI for 4 years, finished on Friday. Here is a pic of the crew.

Going Clockwise from the guy with the glasses:
Ian, Beth, Scott, Sharlene, Angie, Ross, Kalee, Me, Peter and Kevin
It's nice working with this many people.

Everyone has been really nice. Peter took Beth and I out to show us where the LG mart was. It's kind of hidden and then we went for drinks. It was supposed to be one, but you know how that never works. So much for an early night. I also have a small roommate that likes to visit occassionally. Kalee, my neighbour has a beautiful siamese cat - Sniff. It took forever to get a decent picture. Just this evening, she was enjoying a playful moment with one of my flip flops.


Last night I had hockey and that was a blast. Tyler, aka The Dark Lord, decided that he would be the welcoming committee. Well, he initiated me into the team. Keeping me on my toes and well, off my feet. I wish I had had a video camera to tape my stellar, um, nose-dive towards the ice. I wasn't even ready for it and Tyler was behind me and just SHOVED me!! It was hilarious! Well this week, we were on the same team until some guys starting leaving so I played on the opposite team. Much to my dismay, I had to take a face off. Not that I didn't want to, but it was against Tyler and my past performance against him hadn't been that impressive. So I lean in for the face off and even before I am set, Tyler cross-checks me right. I was sort of ready, but not really and I fell flat on my ass. It was picture perfect - all I could do was laugh (don't worry mom - I was and am fine). So when I took the next face off, one of the other guys snuck behind Tyler and crouched down so if I pushed him he would fall. That is exactly what I did - Tyler was too busy yapping, so I got my revenge :) I shoved him and he ended up on his ass!!! It was too funny. I am so glad I have my equipment here.

I am calling Aaron and his friend to see how they are doing and if they are coming up this weekend. I hope everything is okay. I am just talking with him now and his friend was sick. His school sounds completely unorganized. Well, it is a Wonderland, but that is another story. Until later, ciao.
