Not Much New...

Kyle enjoying his Galbi!! Yummy!!














This is us getting ready to have Galbi. You can see Zak and Terri and some of Arran's arm.

They bring out hot coals and put them in that bowl in the middle and then a rack goes over the bowl. The smoke hood comes down and they you cook the Bulgogi. It is soooo good.













Not much is new right now. We both went to teach tonight. It was one of my short nights (I keep losing my Monday night short night because of long weekends, but I guess that is better!!). I am not sure what the plan is for tonight or if we are even doing anything.

My director had read over Matt's resume and has sent him the contract to begin working at the beginning of August and to be here at the end of July. I am so excited to have him working with me when John leaves. Very excited.

Yesterday, we didn't post on here because we really didn't do anything. We got up, sat around, planned for today's classes, slept, ate ice cream and then went over to Terri and Arran's to visit and have some spaghetti. It was a good day all in all, but for some reason I am still tired. We even were able to sleep in today until 10:20am!! That's the latest yet!!

Teaching was good tonight. A couple of my students are still trying to get through without listening to me and doing their work. They always pretend they forgot their books at home so they will not have to do the work, but I just say I am going to make photocopies and then the books magically appear on the table. I started a new textbook with one of my classes tonight and they seem completely disinterested in it, but it is the text assigned and I have to use it. At least since I have been using it for one of the other classes, I can use the same lessons again and maybe make them a bit harder. That makes my life a little easier.

It rained here today, I guess this is just a warning that monsoon season is starting in a month. Not very excited about that, but I know it will still be nice and warm after monsoon season ends. Also, when Matt gets here he will have missed the majority of monsoon season. Lucky him. We are planning on going into Seoul soon. I am not sure when, hopefully after payday so that we can actually afford to go. I am having the hugest craving for Shabu Shabu right now. I think I will see if anyone wants to go for it tonight. It's so cheap. I will also try and take some pictures so you can see what it is!!

Other than all of that babbling, there is nothing going on. Cleaned the house, made spaghetti, went to work, did the laundry (I miss having a dryer and an oven) and nothing else. I am really missing having my cats around. It is sad coming home and not having them greet me at the door. I saw some really sad stray cats the other day. It broke my heart. Koreans are afraid of cats though. They believe that if you cross a cat or do something to anger it, it will take revenge on you ten fold. So, they would prefer just not to be around cats. There are also many Korean folk tales about evil cats, so that doesn't help.

Good night all.
