See ya in Korea. Thursday, February 14, 2008. It's 9:39 but all i've had for dinner is bottled water. i'm debating the merits of eating the octopus potato chips the new girl in the goshiwon gave me last night. these are chips that are molded into the shape of an octopus, featuring a bewildered looking cartoon octopus in snorkeling gear on the packaging (do octopi need underwater gear?

See ya in Korea: April 2007

http://seeyainkorea.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

See ya in Korea. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. I just spent three hours wrangling with my computer, but I've done it! Tuesday, April 17, 2007. Sunday, April 15, 2007. It’s festival season in Korea, and for good reason. The trees are starting to show some new growth, and the perpetually brown, muddy mountains are finally turning green again. Who wouldn’t want to celebrate? At Woobang Tower Land in Daegu with some of the girls from Samsungwon. Also at the amusement park.Kaya and friend. Cherry blossoms in Jinhae.

See ya in Korea. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Today at lunch one of my museum coworkers told me, "Has anyone told you that you look like Katie Holmes? When I answered "No, but thank you! She was quick to add, "I mean, I have to say you are not as pretty as her." La la la. Sunday, February 24, 2008. I'm not in the habit of carrying an umbrella.that's true of most people from Seattle, right? Speaking of the strange timing of various personal accessories, have I ever mentioned SHOES? Given to me by a girl ...

See ya in Korea: June 2007

http://seeyainkorea.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

See ya in Korea. Wednesday, June 20, 2007. I just found a file on my computer where I wrote down some of the things my students wrote in their letters to Jeonju Girls' HS. I think the first one is my favorite. My zodiac sign is virginity…. My character is a little activity, but if I meet a girl I become a stone. I hate English. Oh! This is my phone number. Really. But don’t call. My zodiac is waterbottle. I want temptation. If you are beautiful, temptation me. I love you. By the way, are you pretty?

See ya in Korea: March 2007

http://seeyainkorea.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

See ya in Korea. Tuesday, March 27, 2007. Why is it that when computers act unreliable I start to feel less human? Thursday, March 15, 2007. Monday, March 12, 2007. Today I taught the lesson that I think every teacher who comes to Korea tackles pretty early on, which is to completely erase the phrase "Fine, thank you, and you? From students' minds. Anyway, I taught one class the word "dude," as in "Hey dude, what's up? Tuesday, March 06, 2007. All over my forehead and neck? The middle of my back?

See ya in Korea. Monday, April 28, 2008. Well, I have completely forgotten the password to my Flickr account, and Yahoo! This is a picture of my goshiwon, the place I lived in Seoul over winter break that was so small that I could reach out and touch the walls on either side of me. This is before I moved in, so it's looking barren and desolate rather than about to burst from a single suitcase-full of belongings. One weekend we went and saw NANTA! In Seoul. It's a non-verbal performance involving a bu...

See ya in Korea: September 2007

http://seeyainkorea.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

See ya in Korea. Monday, September 10, 2007. One of my students got the HIGHEST SCORE IN KOREA on a practice exam for the Korean SAT. I already love her because of her Harry Potter glasses, but this is just too much. Though sometimes their efforts make for a nice backdrop.Incidentally, in addition to a giant orange towel to my class (why? Tuesday, September 04, 2007. Today the Korea Herald led with the following headline: “Will Koreas See Big Bang This Year? What is your capability to drink alcohol?

See ya in Korea. Friday, January 25, 2008. Yeah, me neither. Anyway, that made things tough to start with, but since instinct wasn't kicking in for the boys when it came to adjective/verb distinctions, they turned instead to book smarts, leading to questions like, “Can I use an instransitively passive helping verb here? What about defibrillated conjunctive inverse adjectives? 8221; To which I would reply in a very teacherly way, “What? The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (kind of an awkwardly long name, right?

See ya in Korea. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Marina: What movie are you watching? Me: It's called "Singles". Marina: Hey, just like you! She also likes to tell me that I'm lazy, and to teach me Korean words that turn out to be nonsense which I then use with other people. Yeah, she looks sweet, but it's all a lie. Thursday, February 08, 2007. Hm, that didn’t fill as much space as I had hoped. Oh! Does any monumental age-changing happen between 21 and 30? Also at Wat Buparram. This guy reminds me SO ...
