Hello everyone!
The holiday season is underway! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I'm not sure what I'll be doing for that...maybe skyping with the fam and watching them eat turkey via webcam.
We're on the last leg of the semester now, as students have a week before the final exams. What puzzles me are the three weeks of classes we have after the exam. I'm not sure how I will keep my students motivated and interested, but I'm sure there will be a Christmas lesson and New Year's resolution lesson in their somewhere. Now I'm just going through the daily grind of teaching, and I can tell all the teachers are ready for the semester to end.
I also wanted to make a quick response to the airstrike that happened on a small island off of the west coast of Korea. Many friends and family have sent messages voicing concern and curiosity, and I just want everyone to know that things are fine here. Everyone is going about their business as usual (what else can they do), and the vibes I'm picking up are not of great worry. If you can recall, I was here this spring when the North sunk a Southern navy vessel. I saw on our American news outlets the hype that the event was getting. In all actuality, the only real effect we felt here was the South Korean Won's value dipping down a bit, which was annoying for us westerners transferring money home. So I'm thinking the same predictable outcome will happen with this event...threats from both sides, finger pointing, and eventually back to normal (that's how it's been here for over 50 years). So don't let the CNN's and FOX News people freak you out. I'm perfectly fine, but appreciate your concern.
I will also post the rock concert video on the blog soon. Thanks for waiting.
