It has been awhile since I have got a chance to write on my blog. I Promise soon I will write in it every night or try to when I get the internet in my room.
It seems like it was yesterday I was in MD teaching myself how to play the piano and woke up and now teaching Korean Kid’s in South Korea lol.
So far I couldn’t have asked for a better situation. My school is phenomenal at making sure I have everything I need to make me feel comfortable and at home.
My principal is funny he doesn’t speak English every morning I go to his office and we have tea. I listen to him speak Korean he listens to me speak English. I think we just
Laughing at each other is basically what it is.. But I can tell that he is a good guy. He did tell me that he doesn’t want me speaking Korean in the school he says they already know that! He wants them
To learn English and to always speak it in the school. My DAY is as follows
8:40 9:00 am – Arrive to school and have tea with the administration ( they are fascinated with the color of my skin) very chill the tea in the morning is nice start to the day
9:00- 9:30am- Just basically at my desk chillin until the first period starts at 9:40. Soon that will be the time I get on my computer and email my parents and friends back home
We are 12 hours ahead so while my day is starting everyone back home is ending which is still weird.
9 40 – 12:00- teaching a period lasts like 45 or 40 min which is not bad. The school has like 1000 kids maybe 1200 kids in the school so throughout the week
Each class is allotted one period of English since there are so many students. It is hard to remember names as I want to but its nearly impossible. But as always you remember the ones that
Impact you and stick out the most. I have already found that student that will keep me going!
12:00- 12:45 is lunch that is provided by the school. Which is nice so I don’t have to spend as much on groceries but man lunch I struggle I really do. Wow lol will just leave it at that I think the other
Day we had MACKREL, rice, some soup wit seaweed in it I think it was seaweed soup lol, some corn type thing, and kimichi the national food of Korea. It was very spicy I would describe it
As spicy cole slaw hahah and aged
12:45 – 2:00 – last class of the day!
2:00 – 4:30- on the computer literally hahah if our lesson is already planned for the week. Me and my Co- teacher Yi jeon joo are just on the computers lol and talking her teaching
Me Korean and me teaching her English. Side note it is very hard to tell how old Korean women are because they look so young when they are very old. One teacher at my school
Told me to guess how old she was lol I said 20 she said she was married with one child and she was 33 lol hahahha
Overall I am having a great time I haven’t even got to see my two good friends that live here in Korea. Once I get accustomed to the bus and subway system I will travel to hang
Out with them often. I met a guy from chi town today he lives in my Apt building a real chill white guy that graduated at Bradley University. So it def good having someone around I can
Speak English too we have been walking around the city chillin. In two weeks we will meet other native English teachers at the public school orientations I Can’t wait for that…But other than
That I can’t complain one bit…until the next time always always remember
LG Life’s Good.
