My Apartment and School

So I know this has taken me forever to do, but I just wanted to get settled in and organized. So here is what my apartment looks like and my school.







This is my apartment building on

the biggest hill and either way you
walk up yo
u have to go up it.
























This is what you are greeted to when you walk in my front door. This is my lovely kitchen.

















This is everything set up - wardrobe,
desk, computer, printer and tv/vcr. I am so lucky that the wardrobe fit behind the door. Just in front of the wardrobe
is the fridge - it doesn't
fit in the kitchen.




















This is my bathroom. I learned really quick
not to leave my toilet paper in there while I was having a shower.
















This is another view of my room. You
can see the balconey - this is where
I store my luggage and do my laundry. Thanks mom for sewing me the sheet,
it really came in handy.

As most of you know, this is my second time in Korea. These next pictures are those from my old apartment.





UGLY kitchen









Dark Living Room





This is the kitchen in my old place and the UGLY living room before we (Sarah and I) painted it.















This is the lovely step-in bathroom that I almost killed myself getting out of in the morning because I was still half asleep and this is my lovely room. I don't mind the layout in my new apartment even though I do have a fridge in what is technically my room. My apartment that I am in now is way brighter and I am getting used to not having a roommate.

These next pictures are of my school.





This is my school - LCI
Kid's Club.
We have the 5th,

6th and 7th
floors including
the roof.
Up on the roof,

there is a kiddie
pool and a jungle gym.




















This is the what you see when you walk into
the school
on the 5th floor. That is Lisa at the
front desk.















This is all the teachers in the staff room.

We are all sitting at our desks.
















This is the other end of the staff room where
all the Korean staff works.
That is Nicole, she
is the best. She started just after Beth and I and she
is really on the ball.
















This is the media room where all the kids
hang out after lunch.

Well, much to my dismay, I don't have a picture of my class room. I have it all decorated for Halloween and I will post some pictures of Halloween, including my classroom.

Hey, Two White Girls!!!

I haven't written in a long time. It's already the second week into October and so much has happened. In regards to the title of this entry, Beth and I were walking home this past Saturday and some random Korean guys was like "Hey, two white girls!?!" He was in shock, I guess, seeing two western girls in Mokdong. It was just out of the blue and really funny, you had to be there.

Things have been going well, but really busy. We had so much stuff to prepare for the end of the month and marking up the wha-zoo. The marking seems never ending - I seem to do more of that in class than teach. Right now I should be planning for my kids graduation for February; either a play or song or something, who knows. Instead, I am working on my blog. I have so many pics to post too.

So in the month of September, I got my jerseys and I played in the Ungnyo-Muin Cup. Basically, it was all the guys who regularly play split up onto two teams.


This is what our jerseys look




































Dark Jersey -
Sexi Lexi















White Jersey - Biatch

The name on the White Jersey
is courtesy of Tyler.










White Hotts vs. Red Eyes



So this is my team, they are a fun bunch. I was on the Red Eyes and we ended up winning in a shoot out. I had three awesome scoring chances and MISSED!! Enough about that, after that we had a party.















This is most of the team at our sponsors bar
Rocky Mountain Tavern or RMT as
we fondly call it.















This is Karl (red team) drinking from the cup.
















This is me drinking from the cup.















Peter, Aaron and Scott...some of the boys.
















Brian - the Reds goalie.















Bill, Me and Ian















Ian, T-bone (Trevor) and Mark















When you are drunk and laughing too hard,
you find yourself on the ground and low
and behold someone always has a camera - Smile!!

K, well, I would love to continue this post, but it is 12:30 am and I have a late day tomorrow - I finish at 7pm. So look for more in the coming week of the picnic that my school went on and the drum festival I attended and other random thoughts and pictures. Ciao.
