Fourteen days ago, I extended my contract to stay in Korea.
Eight days later, I changed my mind and voided that contract.
By doing so, I won’t have a job as of September 1st. I usually would think nothing of not having prospective options but for some reason, I am annoyed about this. I am not worried but [...]

Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana – Groucho Marx
It has been 6 months in Korea.

As December and January came, I found myself in a solid routine. I was reasonably satisfied. Then a funny thing happened…

School Days are back and man, it is great. The biggest change being in school is acting like a teacher as opposed to the student I have been often for the past 28 years.
It’s very hard not to behave the way I want to. When you do something and you immediately see kids follow your [...]

This past month has been a big one for me. Enjoyable as well, despite people dear to me having some troubles. Thankfully, all has gone well on all fronts!
