I signed up to Korvia Recruting Service today, meaning that I’ve taken the first step towards getting a teaching job in South Korea. I’ve been working on gathering all of the documents I need and I still have a lot of things to do. I hope that the weather here stays clear. This winter has been erratic, one day we’re snowed in and the next it’s spring time.

It's official, technology hates me at the moment....
However, Winston (my iMac) is working just fine. *touch wood* I’m not even going to begin talking about the plumbing problems.

Glue stick half-rant
In recent days, I’ve been working on my scrapbook, and I’ve realized that Elmer’s glue sticks suck ass. I mean, I knew it before, but doing this project has just reminded me of how bad their glue sticks are. But what surprised me is that Rose Art, which usually produces crappy products actually has a great glue stick. It actually sticks. Elmer, you need to step up your game on...

A Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Langston Hughes
As I was looking through my high school yearbooks I suddenly remembered this poem and the great...

Advice from Somewhere
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR. When you say, “I love you,” mean it. FIVE. When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in...

I’m trying so hard to be positive, and I do think that I will get this. However, this part of grammar for me is just not soaking in.

I just might go to South Korea after all...
So I talked with my mom today about going to teach ESL in South Korea for a year before going to grad school, which I thought would be really hard. I didn’t want to just up and do it without her blessing because I know how it’s going to be difficult for my folks to let me go like. I’ve never been away from home. However, she’s okay with it as long as I make sure that I can...

I swear i’ve been haunted buy El Debarge and by thoughts of going abroad.
On El DeBarge: They play “Second Chance” everywhere I go. I guess that’s a good thing for him but “Second Chance” is so full of worn out lines and phrases that I just can’t stand hearing it.
On Going Abroad: Lately, I’ve been seeing movies, documentaries, and reading things...
