lazy days
a friend of mine blogs really often and it's inspired me to do the same. so here ya go! another entry!
being back in korea the past few days has been pretty nice. we've gotten everything unpacked and now all we have to do is take down our christmas decorations lol we left for texas in the middle of dec. so we have yet to do that. i just need to get a box to put all the stuff in.
other than unpacking we've mostly just been hanging out at the apt. - eating, watching tv, surfing the net, reading, playing with the puppy, doing laundry, etc.
we had dinner at lisa and barry's the other night and that was really nice :o) they made chicken and broccoli alfredo- yum! they'll be going to bali soon so we gave them lost of info about that.
today we finally went for a walk. we had been wanting to go on one the past couple days because the weather was actually pretty nice. almost too warm for my feather down coat i got this xmas. the thing is we wouldn't think about going out until the sun was almost down lol so we resolved today to go before 4pm. unfortunately it was rainy most of the day but we went out anyway! sadie LOVED it! we could barely hold on to the leash! lol on the way back home we stopped at "kwil-tuh shyawp" to buy some yarn because jens wants me to make him a scarf. i just got a knitting for dummies book for xmas and i found out two of my friends know how to knit here so i'm gonna give it a try! :o) sadie's feet and most of her underside got muddy on the walk (remember it rained?) so we had to give her a bath when we got home. after that she ran around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get dry and it was hilarious! lol
oh guess what- there are no longer any episodes of oprah or dr. phil on youtube! their companies somehow found out the name they were posted under (ows and drph) and disabled all the videos!!! i'm so upset :o( i watched project runway on there today for the first time though and it was pretty good so it may be my new youtube'd show to watch ;o)
jens is playing video games now and in a little while we're gonna go out for samgyeopsal! that's pork with 3 layers of fat that you grill at your table. i like the thin kind- it's reeeeally thinly sliced so the fat is barely noticable and i LOVE IT! can't wait!!!
we haven't been out since we've been back. we've been cooking. so far we've made a lentil dish that didn't turn out too well (first time to make lentils) and our black bean soup (which we've made before). also jens made bread and i made whole wheat cranberry pecan scones (so good! if i do say so myself and jens's bread was awesome as usual! we rock! ;o)
later this week we have a doggy play date/lunch with the heaslips (you know, the ones with the baby ;o) so that'll be fun. they said they found a park that would be good to let our dogs run around in.
then friday jens has to go to work- maybe just half a day. and monday we both go back for stupid graduation week- ugh it makes no sense and i hate it! sorry it's true! lol i may or may not have any classes to teach but i'll have to go to school for 2 weeks.
then we're off for about another week and then it's the start of the new school year.
we'll probably continue to just take it easy. i'll try to finish that scarf...and i may paint. i have all the materials....
i'm not looking forward to teaching again. i'm sick of elementary school and i'll have to do it for 2 months before i change to high school. plus i know my school didn't give me a positive renew so i'm a little ticked at them. i don't realy want to interact with them, ya know?
hopefully i'll like high school better and i'll like the teachers and the students.
i'm a little worried because this online tutoring thing was started in jeollanamdo and they're making it mandatory for 200 out of 300 teachers in the province and i REEEALLY don't want to do it. it's for elem. kids in rural areas and the program sounds completely ridiculous. not only do i not want to deal with elem. kids anymore but i don't want to deal with the actually online program...it sounds completely ineffective :oP i hope i'm not picked to do it. the only good thing about it is the money- 40,000won for 40 mins. twice a week.
anyway, so things are going alright right now since i'm not working but we'll see how things go when i have to return to school lol
