Some more randomness :)

Well, I just talked to Boss James yesterday and supposedly he wants me to take up some Pre-school classes come December. We are at a shortage of teachers (as usual) and nobody really knows what's going on (as usual). Anyways, it will be nice to make overtime wages but not so nice to do overtime hours :)
Random thought: So at E.C.C the students refer to the teachers as "(first name) teacher", so the students call me Laura teacher etc...Even our colleagues refer to us that way...it's kind of odd...hmm.

Last weekend Kevin, Danny and I went to Bukhansan nat'l park again (in the middle of the city) and hiked Bukandae peak (the highest peak in the park, but it really wasn't that high). This is the one that Danny and I tried to do a couple weeks ago but ended up on the wrong side of park due to the taxi driver dropping us off at the wrong end. (all the gates sound exactly the same anyways). There were a lot of people at the top which was rather discouraging, but it was still a decent view. Behind us is another mountain which is where the hard core rock climbers like to go. I unfortunately won't be going there anytime soon...hmm..

This weekend we are having a going away party for the 4 girls leaving within the next week. Other than that I think I will take this weekend off from hiking and buy some Christmas gifts for the family, attempt to find a half decent coffee shop, and maybe hit the sauna. pretty chill.

It's easy to spend a lot of money here with things being so cheap (I just bought a wool sweater for $3 last weekend). Food is relatively cheap as well. yay :) I'm getting use to sweating while I'm eating (food is sooo spicy!)...my taste buds will be shot by the time I get back though, but then again I was really never that picky of an eater to start with as most of you know :)

Oh, so here is a pic of some of my students with their true colors coming out . This was during the Halloween party fiasco. Basically a day full of chaos. This is a class that I actually love :) Great students, decent English, and a long attention span :)
Okay, so I think that is about all I have to say for now:)
