HAPPY BONES at 행복한정형외과
This is my third or fourth time coming to this place. I could come more often but the professional and sexy, silver fox makes me nervous. I have this things for graying doctors. Dr. Song is also an orthopedic surgeon.
The office is on the fourth floor of a medical building that houses other offices such as a skin clinic.
There are always people coming in and out--older, middle aged, and school aged athletes.
Go to the front desk. The women are very nice and some

First night - Hotel sleep
I have been up for the past two hours. Presently, it is 6am and I am in the bathroom with a headlamp sitting in an empty tub. This tub is huge! Why did I think they would have small tubs? Well, maybe, it is only in hotels. I don't want to wake up my roommate.
It feels like any other day of checking email and texting friends but I'm a half day ahead and I'm in Korea.
I have to finish doing this pre-orientation online course. I did it already but I didn't do it correctly. So basically it is a couple hours of sitting in a tub. Again, this tub is nice. There is even a groove that makes a nice shelf for my phone!
Not the nicest hotel I've been in but not the worst - odd light options, two beds, big tube TV, a water cooler, sliding window, and complementary slippers. Nice receptionists! I will check out
Another ---opps i forgot to post this from August 2012

Field trip Friday
Friday- Korean History and Cultural Experience ....opps a "i forgot to post this back from August 2012" post
Started awesomely with the most boring lecture I had experienced. I bet he is quite intelligent and really enjoy talking about his subject but I wish I wasn't there to listen to it. This Dr. R was soooo boring it was almost sad, maybe even fun. I thought he was being funny and was doing that as a NOT "what to do" as a teacher. I wrote notes and tried not to be rude. I was sooo not excited about all what he had to say. Though I am interested in history and appreciate all research that continues to be unearth, he had the worse delivery of history I had ever experienced.
Please don't read off from your pamphlet
Bus trip
Pottery painting at Doja Art Village
This place was enveloped by the mountains, rice and vegetable fields, trees and low clouds.
I believe this village was created to reestablish the art of ceramics that once flurished around those mountains. Creating this art required mud, water and heat- reddish clay, streams, and wood to burn.
Lunch
Gapsa Tour at the Park
Kuk-ak Music Performance
Gongju National Museum Tour and the tomb stuff
Shit Dinner
Sleep
Kids came back

Update March 10, 2015
I can't believe I am still here!
August 2012
I arrived to South Korea. Leaving home was a bit hard but now being hear for a couple years it feels like I have been here longer. It kinda feels like "home."
I had plans on doing a year and trying to figure out what my next plan would be. I thought it would be in the USA, in Virginia teaching Spanish or going back to school. I had plans about starting a food truck business or baking weed brownies or owning a furniture store.
Any who, I should be working on this thesis. A thesis with an unknown title. It has something to do with graphic novels and I just have to finish it. I just need to do this research and finish it. I have tons done but I don't even like reading what I wrote. I am afraid of reading and know my words will be in bound, words on a paper, with a cover, and three people will read it and then stuck on a shelf, never to be read again. So, what is the big deal?
My contract ends this August 2015 but I am thinking of extending it until Feb 2016. In that way, I would finish the school year with my co-teacher. She wouldn't have a new co-teacher and I will have some time to think about my next move. I know everyone is leaving for a new position and that is great. I am not afraid to be left here. I haven't been sitting still. I have enjoyed every moment.
