well, the wellprodigal blogger returns...
So its been a long six weeks. I figured that I should explain my absence, seeing as how just about everyone fired me off e-mails complaining about me not posting anything. Right......
So a long time ago, when I figured that I would be able to get a job in Canada, I finally found out after begging and prodding the gov't of Ontario, I found out that I was missing one university course in order to be certified to teach a second teachable subject. I had the brilliant idea to take the course as a part of a six-week intensive course taught at one of Ontario's Education University's. The first week started off pretty well, and it wasn't too hard to be working full-time, and then going home and doing about three hours of homework a night. After that, nearly everything went downhill pretty fast, and work started getting really busy, and as the school semester wound to a close, my work with my course started heating up. For myself, when the going gets rough, the rough language gets goin'...Needless to say, when the course finished not two days ago, a few "Hazaa's" were hollared, and a flood of relief came over. Now, I have yet to receive my grade yet, so we'll see if any typhoon's will be leaving my mouth when I find out my grade.
So, onto other things. I'm learning quite a few things about the Korean Education system. One, right now I'm sitting in my office with absolutely nobody else in here right now. When I asked casually why I'm the only one in the office now, I was told "It's in your contract that you're supposed to be here because we "pay" you too be there." It was nice of them to write me up a contract that has me holding down the farm...I'm proud to be here... I'd still rather be here than at my old hagwon, that's for sure. Why is it that when we get greedy, we still want more?
In other news, if anyone is looking at travelling in an amazing country, check out Hong Kong and Macau. Macau was just amazing, and Hong Kong as well.
Well, so far, that's all the news I have now. Now that I'm back, I should be able to keep up with the old blog a little more. Sit back all, and make sure to enjoy the ride...
