Greetings!

It seems like that's all I type anymore. "Greetings". I have been typing out the year long program plan for the afterschool English program that I run by myself. The first unit of all programs is "Greetings".
Supposedly they bought me textbooks? But I haven't seen them, and I was asked to hand in the year plan, so I'm BSing it. (shh! don't tell!)
I can competently make a plan. At least I have that confidence. I have made my own language plans for years in Japanese, Russian, Chinese and Swahili. XD It pays to be a linguist, linguaphile, and self-motivated learner. But if I get those books anytime - I might have to change my plans. LOL. I guess that is how it goes.

A lot has gone on since I last wrote. I have finished 2 weeks of work. Today started week 3.

I started dating my neighbor Jongsoo. It's a surprise to everyone, including us ourselves. Just kind of.. you know. We hung out all the time, we have similar interests and tastes, and just clicked. It's not an uber serious dating thing, sorry all my fundie raised friends. He and I just decided to see where it goes.

Since then we've celebrated White Day together (my current fb picture). White Day is an Asian holiday like Valentine's. They celebrate Valentine's by females giving chocolate and gifts to males. One month later, March 15th, males return that favor (or not, or pick other female(s)). And I guess there is even Black Day? On April 15th, singles wear black and go out and eat jjajjangmyeon (black bean noodles) and may potentially meet other singles and find someone to date. I don't know since I've never heard of it before. Jongsoo was telling me about it.

Jongsoo and I also went to Itaewon (district of Seoul) to have dinner with his cousin Chaesoo. We went to a Brazillian BBQ place called Copacabana. OMO. So delicious. It's all you can eat BBQ - you get a steak, and they come by with all kinds of bbq'ed meats like bacon wrapped chicken, sirloin, samgyeopsal (three layered pork belly.. so so so so so good.. and i hate fat so yeah.. it's worth eating), and more I can't think of. I had some red beans and rice too. So delicious. I should get some pictures up. In the meantime I put up some on FB from Jeonju.
