So just a video of the Busan area on a rainy Sunday Morning. This is the University area near to my house. Its like a mixture of the liveliness of African markets with the modern day inside store thing. Its a wonderful place for people watching. Anyway, so far so good here. I don't have a video of the school, but its a little hard to do while I'm still trying to get everything straight, which day for weekly lesson plans and which papers to copy and when the speaking tests and progress reports are do etc. I really like it there though so far - I knew the school would be better than most just based on the interview, but its really delightful to discover that what I at first considered a job to be done, is well on its way to becoming something I thoroughly enjoy. Also after all my screwups these past 3 years with teaching, its rather fascinating to realize that along the way I seem to have learned something after all, and I might just be good at it given the proper circumstances.
So all in all, despite a really tight budget and struggling to stay afloat with all the new things, I'm really just skipping with happiness underneath. Also this highspeed connection for the first time ever doesn't hurt anything. The apartment is small but really might be perfect when I get the right things for it - which will come in time. Life is good!
The kids though at my school, really really are kind of great! Just so you guys know. I'll have about 7 kids in a class, except for the one class where they are combined with another smaller class for about 12. They are really young...maybe 4-5 by U.S. age standards so its a challenge to keep them still but they are SOOOO cute. SO cute. Its fun to hear them learn!
