Celebrating Halloween with my after school class
Overworked!! Holy moly it's been a crazy month. A drastic change between November 2015 and November 2016, I tell ya. I was sitting on my ass with my foot propped up and watching crappy K-dramas in the hospital all of last November, and this time around...

Fulbright Third Year ETAs
Gyeongju at night
Acronyms are taking over. Pen Pineapple Apple Pen is somehow the hottest track right now. That video is basically all of us English teachers' lives on a daily basis during class... haha.
But anyway, I've been reading this novel, originally split into...

Chuseok in Gwangyang
Two of my students in after-school class
"You Will B Fine" and "Slow Down and Enjoy the Simple Life" have quickly become the mantras of my third year in S. Korea, thanks to a $15 sweater I bought one chilly, rainy, October evening (the few we've had so far) while out wandering...

Budaejigae (부대찌개)
Hey everyone! As you know, I decided to switch things up for my third and final year and made the move to Seoul. The first two weeks back in Korea have flown by, and although they've been jam-packed, it's been a smooth and exciting process so far. I...

I've been back Stateside for summer break! Home for a month, doing absolutely nothing and loving every minute of it. It's gone by too fast. Summer break highlights:
Shopping spree!!! Finding clothes that are actually my size and fit my body type
Hanging with the family - sitting in the living room together, watching TV, and vegetating
Waking up early and then taking long naps in the afternoon......

It was my second-to-last day living and teaching in Gwangyang. All my boxes and suitcases for moving to Seoul have officially been sent off, and I was left with a bare bed, a TV, and a suitcase full of stuff to get rid of once I arrived back in Illinois for the summer vacation....
