And now a return to our regular programming..

I’d intended to make this an ink-blog..but it seems my handwriting has suffered and I really can’t be bothered working on it just this minute.

Anyway..this is going to be the first long post in quite a while. Hopefully (I’ve said this before) I will update more frequently. I’m doing my best to distract myself, though.

A few things..

1) I’m now living in Okgwa, having moved from Gwangju in July/August.

 

2) I’m no longer with TaLK. Instead, I’ve signed with the Jeonnam Language Program (which is why I’m in Okgwa). My main reasons for this are the pay (1.5mil to 2.3mil a month is a good move) and wanting to stay in Jeonnam.

 

3) I’m currently teaching at Okgwa Middle School (옥과중학교) and Jeonnam Culinary Arts High School (전남조리과학고등학교). Both schools are around 300 students and have roughly the same English level..even though one is a highschool. Ask me sometime and I’ll go into why that is (and why I couldn’t care less).

4) Okgwa is a small town..very small. It makes Damyang look big. Gwangju is 40min by car (20~30 if you take the expressway). My accomodation is a big improvement though..I live on the 12th floor of the only apartment building in Okgwa.

5) Hyejeong is still in Gwangju..so I get to see her once a week if I’m lucky. Going from seeing each other every day to seeing each other once a week is hard..and we both get lonely. Thankfully…

6) We’ve got rabbits!! Hyejeong has Tiki and in the last week I’ve bought my own, a lovely sand coloured lop-ear named Sandy. Both are boys..Hyejeong and I aren’t ready for grandkids just yet..

 

Not much else I can think of, except that all is going well and I’m keeping myself busy enough. I take a walk every evening, there are lessons to be prepared..and if that fails to interest me I have the 360, 3 more gundam kits and a couple of jigsaw puzzles left to take care of. Not to mention a teddy bear to make and a rabbit to take care of..

Never a dull moment!
