Tick Tack... !

My first week as an official teacher is in full swing, it's alot of work but the kids are so damn good, smart, cute, witty and amazing that it's more than okay. I'll be taking pics of my kids this week because they're one of the main things that's going to make this year awesome. 

So, at the weekend, I took my first trip into Seoul and it was epic. It's such a cool place, and I finally found a record store where I could geek-out and satisfy my thirst for some k-pop in CD form. 

 

Then, it was off to Monkey Beach where anything goes... they serve their cocktails in actual buckets and you can dance on the tables. Fun times.

After a hilarious night out in Seoul on the Saturday, it was time to chill and unpack on Sunday. I've finally made my apartment my own, and it's looking so cute! I didn't sleep well on Sunday night though, I was slightly terrified for my first day of teaching on the Monday, but I swear, people aren't lying when they say it's the kids that make the experience amazing. I don't know how the hell I'd have managed if they were anything like the kids back home, but the kids here know their manners. Even the tougher-to-handle students aren't so bad once you have them sussed, or that's what I'm hoping heh. 


Today was day two, and it had it's ups and downs... some lessons tanked, others were great, but I guess that's how it goes. No partying tonight I'm afraid though, I need a night off! Roll on Friday, aka, girls night! Time to try out a Korean cinema (I'm sure I saw a sign advertising movies in 4D...) and obviously, we're going to see 'Breaking Dawn' ;) 


Tick tack tick tack tick tack...

Thanks, stress.

The past 48 hours have been completely manic... yesterday I received an email from my agency saying that the job I thought was mine had been given to someone else who's already in Korea. Gah. THEN, I was given an interview with another school, which was this morning. About an hour ago, I was told I got the job! Now, I've never been a huge believer when it comes to the "everything happens for a reason" philosophy, but if anything is going to change my mind, it's this. The new position looks great, the wage is better and the apartment situation is sorted. Good times.

And instead of leaving a week after finishing my exams, at least I have a few extra work-free weeks at home before I head off.


*collective sigh of relief*...
 

U-Kiss - "Neverland (네버랜드)"

So I named my blog after this song as it represents my full-blown ADDICTION to k-pop. Mmmhmm. Just look at all that pretty...
