One Month Down

I haven’t written anything because things have been so uneventful. Last weekend I went to Seoul and got to see my friend Joyce for the first time in about 6 years. It was wonderful. Definitely the highlight of the trip for me. The next day Sandy (the other teacher I went with) and I went and checked out one of the national museums. They were having a modern art exhibition which was, delightfully, free (because of their 60th anniversary). So I wandered around for several hours getting a feel for Korean understanding and development through art. It’s amazing how new everything is here really. There was a picture of the Seoul skyline from the 20s or 30s, and it was almost entirely traditional buildings, and now it boasts as many sky-scrapers as the most enthusiastic city-lover could wish.
Today I start my new schedule, working afternoons and evenings. We’ll see how it goes. I think I’m going to just shift my sleeping and eating schedule, since this will probably be my schedule for the next several months. I’ll be working from about 3 to 9 most days, some days a little bit less, some days more. That’s about it, just wanted to update everyone so my mother doesn’t get nervous.
