Updates

Yup yup... been busy. The past weekend was one of going out with friends (soju cocktails and norae-banging), then hitting a sort of "International Community Day" in Gwangju. We like to call it the "Foreign Food Festival", since it's mostly comprised of food kiosks from around the world. We got to eat Nepali, Indonesian, North African and Mexican food... and then we went out for supper at Outback (where the wait staff sang "Happy Birthday" to Ty and I in Korean, to the tune of "Feliz Navidad") with Zach, Terry and James.

School is going well, with the students functioning like some sort of well-oiled machine. I finally got my reimbursement for my summer vacation (which isn't worth as much as it was, since the won is still pretty low and unstable), and everything seems perfect...

But then...

This is a secret, but... I'm waiting on an answer back from a job application in Abu Dhabi. Yes, Abu Dhabi. If you're older than 25, you'll recognize that as the place that Garfield always tried to send Nermal (the world's cutest kitten). If you're in the least bit aware of the planet, you'll recognize it as a random city in the Middle East, and one of the emirates that make up the UAE. If you're like me, you'll have to look it up on a map, then stand there for about 10 minutes until you're like "Ohhhhhh, there it is" ~ south east corner of the Arabian peninsula.
I'm 34 today. THIRTY-FOUR. Daaaaamn. Ty will be 28 tomorrow.

And so it goes...
