Late Post - Feb. Update - Last few days at Jeonju University

Hey guys!!!! I'm still alive!!!! I know I've been REALLY REALLY lazy... but i' updating now... so I hope you guys can take on two weeks' worth of updates!!!!! Well... maybe 3 :P.... I'm gonna post about Here it goes!!!




Feb. 20 / Sunday
- EXPLORATION DAY! so today we climbed the roof of the University. Took pictures, but i'll have to post them up later. I'm still selecting which ones I can post up and which ones i can't :P... it was a nice view up there, but i think just being able to go up there and discovering that the doors weren't locked were more amazing... it was awesome , lol

Feb. 22/ Tuesday – Lectures, walked to the bank to exchange money, but only to find out that the bank doesn’t do exchanges b/c it’s a small bank -_- …. performance from elementary school kids…. Skipped class for volleyball… chilled and then watched ‘the ugly truth’ with ppl


Feb. 23/ Wednesday – woke up to go to the gym at 7;30am, breakfast, lectures, finally learned something useful in class like how to play games with the kids, went to the bank to get money, worked this time… took the bus too! Afterwards, we went to the gym, saw the university ppl practicing TKD, they were pretty good… then dinner, rested up a bit, then went to Kaeksa? I dunno how to spell it but it’s like one of the places to be in Jeonju city. Took the bus again, went there for a couple of hours, I bought a sweater for $11 and then came home, … then we went up to nghi and sujin’s room and we just chilled, took turns giving out psychology personality tests and jokes. Good end to the night

Feb. 24/ Thursday – woke up, did not go to the gym… coughing and wheezing like a sick person… but I refuse to believe I’m sick… skipped breakfast… went to lecture, turns out the lecturer was late…. Went back to our rooms, then went back to class again, had a short time on how to tell stories and then next lecture on singing/chants with the kids. Went to lunch…. I’m coughing up and wheezing like mad… don’t think I’ll be able to do much for the next few days… went to go meet our mentor teachers… turns out I have a new mentor teacher now, and I also saw my co-teacher too. Well, one of them anyways…. He’s 18, but 20 in Korean…. And my mentor is 25, 27 in korean, so that was pretty cool. Then packed a bit, then went out for dinner… chicken and pizza!! Drank a bit in there, and then when we went out, Donald and pretty much everybody that was there with us in Jeonju was in the restaurant beside us, and Donald told us to have a shot with him and so we all went in for a shot and then we went back… but then decided that we should go to noraebang…. Hanna and Nghi were battling to see if we stayed or go… they used rock, paper, scissors. Hanna won, hence us going to noraebang, lol… so we went, and the rest of the TaLK ppl went to the same place as well… nearby…. Downstairs…. Ghetto looking but whatever, it was still fun b/c we were all enjoying it. Took a gazillion pictures and some videos…. Will have to go through those later. Then when we the night was done with noraebang, we went back to club211, or bryce’s room… and we woke up Justin lee…. Crashed there for a bit and talked… I passed out for a bit… then they all left, I slept some more and hten went back to my room to sleep


Feb. 25/ Friday
– woke up by the stupid alarm they were giving over the p.a. system… so I woke up …. Showered…. Started packing… took forever… but I took out my duffle bag and packed the dirty clothes in there…. And finally I had to rush a little bit, but this time I was more prepared… took everything downstairs and then into the bus. Waited on the bus for like 30+ mins, turns out there were still a few ppl that were still packing, so we were waiting on them. Finally when we got everybody, we went to the office of education and had a closing ceremony…. This was retarded b/c… when we got there…. 5 mins later, the ceremony began…. And when the guest speaker was up…. He spoke for literally not even a minute and htat was it and then our POE declared the ceremony was done and that took….. 5 mins literally…. Stupid -_-

So then we went downstairs to get our stuff, and packed it into this other teacher’s car. She live sin Jeonju but teaches at the same place as mine, her name is Ms. Park. She’s also the same age as my new mentor teacher, Ms. Lee.

So they drove me back here, along with my co-teacher, then we went to the school…. I met the principal, along with the vice principal…. In the teachers office, they were all busy writing away on papers, trying to come up with the school schedule I guess… regardless, they were just busy
