First Weekend

So first I want to describe my school. It's like a corporation, they own a few schools in the city and are starting one in Seoul, and possibly somewhere else too? Anyway, there is the main campus in Bongsun-dong with Reading Star (elem.) and Avalon (middle). I thought I would be at that campus, but I am at Kuhmo-dong (which actually has a different spelling, but that's how it sounds) and the schools are Langcon (elem.) and Avalon (middle). I like the area we are in and the fact that most of us teach at both schools...I think I'll get so much more experience that way. Today will be the first day of classes for Avalon. We won't have to teach though because the students are taking tests and there won't be time. I think I'll just be handing out books and going over the syllabi that I made up. Hopefully they're good :-) I probably will give them too much homework...I guess we'll see.

This weekend was my first chance to get out and see things. Friday we went for dinner and then went out. Apparently we missed dinner with our coworkers though which I'm sad about...but it will happen again this Friday! Anyway, one of my coworkers and I went downtown and ran into Danielle and then saw Megan!! It was so exciting. Also, I don't know what time bars close here, but you can definitely be out until the sun comes up...

Saturday one of the girls from another class was moving out and my coworker Ashley was getting some stuff from her place so I went along to help carry stuff. I ended up getting a hairdryer and some other stuff from Rupsha (who was moving out) so I was VERY excited. And yesterday Ashley and I went shopping and I got a few other little things, like an orange teapot for $5 :-) And she had an extra comforter that I asked if I could use because my school supplied one is really ugly. So I feel much more settled now that I have more comfortable stuff.

Saturday we went out to celebrate a birthday and to say goodbye to the girls who were leaving. A lot of the people I work with were there, so it was a lot of fun.

So, now you're updated a little bit more. There are pictures on Facebook, and probably at some point I will start a new picture page thing...somehow...anyone have recommendations?
