6 months already gone by...

Well it's hard for me to believe that I'm already halfway done with my contract. It seems like it was forever ago that I came but at the same time it seems like I just arrived...weird. Everyone says that the last 6 months go by quicker than the first...crazy.

Well this past weekend some of my friends and I went rock climbing and hiking. It was my first time actually rock climbing outdoors and repelling...Great times :) I definitely wish I could have done it for a longer time, but you take what you can get I suppose. Anyways the hiking was great...it was mainly ridge hiking, so we hiked up one of the main mountains and then hit 6 other peaks and then descended; like a 5 hour hike so not too bad. The weather was gorgeous! Not too hot, not too cold...just right. It was great to be out in nature again...I definitely miss it. I'm realizing indoor jobs aren't very good for my sanity...:)

Anyways, this week flew by for sure. The kids were decent...I didn't send anyone to detention this week so that was good I suppose :) Things at Avalon are still disorganized...yup. We keep getting new teachers, losing new teachers, etc... what do ya do.



Last weekend we (my roomies and I) went to Seoul to check out the cherry blossoms some more. On the way we saw policemen in the park doing leap frog...or their version of it I suppose. Very humorous. I feel very safe in this country ;) Anyways the cherry blossoms were amazing to see at night in Seoul. Unbelievable. I stopped by the largest member Church in the world last week. Hopefully I'll attend a service soon. Should be interesting...

The weather has been warming up, but I think we are hitting the rainy season and possibly the start of mosquitoes....oi.....

Taekwondo is going well. It can be frustrating at times, but I enjoy it for sure. I have my test in a couple weeks so hopefully that goes well...I'm already getting nervous. They yell out commands in Korean ....ahhh! I need to work on my Hangul for sure....

Other than that nothing major has been happening. Just taking things as they come and going with it. I figure I should start thinking about what I'm doing at the end of these 6 months but a lot can happen between now and then...
