I'm back in the states; although, it feels like I should describe my status here as visiting home. Which seems like an odd sort of statement to make ( Read more... )

I am finishy with Korea. All my stuff is packed up and gone and all my finances are in order to be sent to my American bank account. I am now in Bangkok and will be in Thailand for a week and a half. It feels pretty good to be done.

So my school ended up compromising with me and moved remedial English for volleyball players a week forward so I still get my vacation time. Huzzah! You might think to yourself, "But Chris, you were full of so much anger and so sure that you were going to have to have a long dragged out fight with your school. What happened?"

Stupid crap randomly happens to it that I can never fix, but that will inevitably mystically have fixed itself when I get the IT lady's help. The best screw up yet though was two Fridays ago when it ( Read more... )

There ya go =)

So this weekend was celebrating St. Patty's day in Seoul! On Friday, I had a pretty laid back night; although, Justin and I did go out to Hongdae for samgyapsal(thick cut grill it yourself bacon) and a hookah at Gr8.
