quick update

so things are going pretty well.

at school i had a week of self-study classes (where the students just study by themselves and i don't have to teach :o) then there was chuseok holiday (4 day weekend! :o) jens and i chilled most of the time but we went to gwangju for a night and that was nice. we took the pups and gave them a couple long walks around town which they loved! then when we went back to school i had a 4-day week of supervising mid-term exams. incredibly boring but easy. plus i got to leave early everyday which was great!

this weekend i had mostly to myself. jens had a guys night friday night and then went up to seoul with some friends for a guys' weekend sat./sun. it was nice to have some alone time. i had a very confusing girls' night and tonight is canadian thanksgiving! a friend of mine is making all the food, we just have to show up :o) so i'm excited about that!

this next week i'm just letting my students make halloween masks in all the classes because post-exams they're totally useless lol i need to find some pumpkins though! i want my extra class to carve pumpkins for the classroom...it should be interesting trying to get 3 pumpkins up to school on a scooter...lol may have to do one per day.

next weekend some of us are gonna make some halloween decorations for the big party on the 31st. the weekend after that jens and i might visit an old friend in daegu and then the weekend after that will be halloween! not sure what i'm gonna be yet. i've gone through a few ideas...

soon enough it'll be nov. and we can have american thanksgiving! i'm definitely doing something small this year. when things get big they can get messy lol we already ordered a turkey from the underground and i think jens and i are gonna try to make everything ourselves like my friend is doing for canadian t-day. i think it'll actually simpler that way.

i wish i could just cram the next 3 months into 3 weeks though lol just skip all the working and teaching and all the annoyances that come with that and just do halloween, t-day and x-mas! lol oh and finish it off with a new years bash! don't know what i'm doing for new years this year. i think we'll be in mokpo though. again, i think i'll do something small with close friends.

i'm starting to see the value of a small close group of friends more and more.

alright! gotta go get ready! <3
