Seeing myself on camera recently made me want to lose weight. More specifically, it prompted me to get healthy. My reasoning is that since I’m already short, it would a be a disservice to be both...

Inspired by the success of last year’s events, April held its 2nd annual Market Day in honor of Children’s Day last week. It was an exhausting 2 days, but it was so much fun at the same time....
Being nice to negative people is so hard. No matter how nice you’re trying to be, all they do is continue to negate the situation, themselves, and ultimately, you. I know I shouldn’t be so hard on...
…. because when the lesson involves a chant about a kangaroo dancing to rap while an angry koala is napping, it really makes sense to dress up as a kangaroo to teach class.
Inception time. NEWEST ANNOYANCE: Overprivileged complaining foreigners. It’s not really a “new” annoyance, it’s just been brought up so many times lately that I’m going to complain about...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST BABY! ♥ Thank you Petsmart for e-mailing me and reminding me of this precious occasion. I think I registered for online coupons awhile back and that prompted me to enter...
Despite being extremely broke and still recovering from my luxurious American vacation, I still attended G-Dragon’s concert today. I spent 88,000 won on the ticket and they were pretty good seats...
Another week bites the dust. In some sense, this week was somewhat better than the last. Children are amazing in that they adapt very quickly to their new surroundings. One minute they’re crying...
Described as a time of emotional and physical transition… in Korea, it’s a term used to describe why middle school students act, sound, and look miserable. At my school, we use the term...
My big comeback at April this past week was nothing short of glorious. And with glory comes exhaustion. The week started off like any other first week… extremely new children, lost children,...
I am finally back at work after a glorious 2-month vacation. Although I did work a few days last week, I’d like to consider this week my official comeback. Last week was merely a pre-game. Monday...
My mantras for the upcoming Season 3 of Korea (premiering Thursday): I can’t be bothered with being bothered. I don’t work for free. That’s it hahaha. I thought the list would be longer but I was...
As I wrap up my comforting stay in the states, I can’t help but feel sad. Home is so comforting. America is so convenient. Everything is so cheap. If you don’t have to worry about rent, health...
I’m conflicted between spending approximately $600 to extend my vacation by a week or just going back to Korea on the 14th. Spring term normally starts during the last week of February but this...
I’m currently on my “screw the world” kick. I can’t be bothered with being bothered. I’m not in high school anymore. I shouldn’t feel the need to “try” and be accepting in front of others. Since I...
Well, here I am, back in America. After a 18 hour flight (2 to Beijing, 4 hour layover, 12 to LA), I arrived in LA on Monday evening. Strange thing was that Air China’s arrivals was not in Terminal...
Korea’s winter has not been so kind to me. I just got over a 1.5 week cold which consisted of a stuffy nose and endless headaches. What sucked the most was that I lost my taste buds and wasn’t...
Snow came really early this year! I remember it didn’t start snowing until Christmas Eve in 2011. This year, however, the snow came pouring down last Wednesday night. I sense a miserable (yet...
In the words of Ja Rule, “I’m not always there when you call. But I’m always on time.” Stress has just been piling up on me this past month. Apparently, everybody else at work is feeling it too....
My lack of posting is due to the amount of annoyingness/rudeness I deal with on a daily basis, which in turn, has caused me to do nothing but sit on my couch with a box of cheez-its after work. My...
I LOVE holidays! I love preparing gift bags, I love dressing up, I love how happy everyone is! Halloween at April was nothing short of amazing this year. Bono dimmed the lights in the lobby so the...
I am so excited for Halloween this year! My costume arrived Wednesday afternoon at April. I ordered a kigurumi pajama costume on Ebay since GMarket didn’t seem to have what I wanted. I was...
As “badass” as I am about my teaching methods, I cannot help but sometimes (just sometimes) feel guilty about how things are. I stress the importance of writing a 5-paragraph essay. I hover over...
I have an aching pain in my left hip/leg. I am 22 years old -_________- The rate in which my body is deteriorating is scaring me. I am such a grandma at times, dragging myself from one side of my...
Today was the last day of my 5-day weekend courtesy of Chuseok (추석) & Foundation Day (개천날). Since we were told that we would also have Tuesday in addition to Monday & Wednesday off at the last...
I made pizza with one of my summer intensive classes… it was awesome. The best part was my mother being there to help out. There’s just something about a mother’s presence that makes kids listen more.
September has been a shitty month for blogging. I am too busy complaining and trying to figure out the new program structure at work. The amount of effort I am putting into work is just shocking....
It’s currently Fall term at April. And with a new term comes a new batch of little shits I have to deal with: THOMAS: This kid talks like he’s singing in a tone-deaf noraebang 24/7. Besides being...
It still amazes me every time a new term starts. Mainly because it amazes me how I’m still settled in one place. Compared to all the newbies we’ve been getting at April, I am an old timer. I know...
