Wee update

• It suddenly cooled down here. It's actually *cool*. This makes sense as everything in Korea runs according to a calendar.
• I spent my first day of school watching the shelves under the window crumble - yeah, just you try to go and mime "water damage" - and chatting with the janitor who wanted to practice his English and didn't care about the wall falling down in my classroom ("The school is old," said he.). I wonder if I actually get to teach next week. The kids were glad to see me, which was awesome, but they seem to have regressed and forgotten all the wonderful English words that they learned before vacation.
  
• Jen got me addicted to this website called Earth Album - really amazing stuff.
• Everything is feeling perfect now: I've got a job that I like, live in a beautiful apartment, am surrounded by friends who had the good sense to move to Mokpo, see nothing but blue skies at the moment - it's like, I can't complain!
• In three weeks, I am heading to Taiwan for a few days.... so much fun to say that.
• And... I finally got pictures of Tyrone where he looks like a real live grown-up. Take that, mean commenters!
