apologies for the delayed entry.
Yes, I am currently in the South Koreas.
I landed at 2:30am, Korea time, having spent 14 hours on a plane and being mistaken as korean and the given bad looks when i give a blank stare, assess the situation and apologize for not understanding but I only know English (A foreshadowing of what is to become of me once i land, I assure you)
Janelle, Hannah and I spent a good hour watching the slow, mind-numbing baggage revolver. It took us an extremely long time to finally see our baggage.
F-ing baggage claim.
Anyways, after arriving at my place at 5am, I had to immediately settle down and be ready to be picked up by my supervisor at 12:30pm.
From then on, it's been quite busy since I was suppose to be at the school last week, so now the teacher that i'm replacing has left after my first day.
But my school has allowed we to observe and learn the rings of the trade for two days, before I take on the classes Friday.
Trial by fire? indeed.
But so far, the co-workers and employers that I have seem to be very accepting and cool.
Also, it seems I am the only native speaker who is of asian descent.
It's like my philosophy class all over again *le sigh*.
I apologize for the lack of pictures of my new digs;
but i lack any camera...except for my webcam, but i'm just too exhausted to really take a pic of my place.
It kinda sucks that my work day ends at 9:20pm, but cool that it starts at 1pm.
The weather currently is extremely hot. I've been cranking my a/c up everytime i'm at home.
Thank you to the person who invented the a/c.
And thank you employer for giving me a place that has an a/c.
It's a little sad.
The first time i wanted to take a shower at my place,
it took me a good 2 hours to figure out that there was no shower stall
and that my entire washroom was really the shower in itself.
Perhaps the mold on the door and floor should have indicated that...
but i was in deep denial.
But what's even more sad is that I still have yet to figure out how to open my washing machine.
I've spent over 5 hours just trying to figure out at the washer.
It taunts me everytime i look at it...and the thing is: it's right at the foot of my bed, so it's not like i can't look away and not be bothered that despite having a $30 000 degree, i cannot figure out how to friggin open a gawd damned washer!!
*Argh*
Anyways, i'm exhausted from my day and i'm still suffering from jet lag.
I've finally attained internet at my condo, so I'll be able to post more now.
If anyone wants to know, i'm 13 hours ahead of the majority of you.
hopefully i'll get into the flow of things sooner and settle everything soon
