My First Week In South Korea
It’s been a few days since I last blogged, I know. I’m finally settled into my apartment in Sunae. That’s after spending a week in what my coworkers call the “love motel.” I think that has something to do with the motel-provided condoms and the pay-by-the-hour rates.
I’ve enjoyed the school so far, [...]
Seoul-Bound
So, I’m a little behind on blogging. Almost three months behind to be a bit more exact.
I’m not exactly sure where to start, but I’ll come out with the big news first. I’m going to Seoul, South Korea to teach English for a year. Yes, pretty big news.
I had somewhat of an [...]
Applying For Editor & Sample Writings
Since I’ve been a little bit lazy about posting this week, and still so tonight, I have decided to double my readers up on some content. How’s that? I’ve posted two new stories in the writings section tonight.
This morning, I finally sent my resume and sample writings to the Union Springs Herald. [...]
Thursday 13 - I Do/Don’t Like This Semester
I don’t like that I had to buy two copies of Wuthering Heights for The 19th Century British Novel. The on-campus bookstore should’ve had the correct version to start with.
I do like my Bible as Literature class. There’s way too much homework, but I enjoy learning new things about the Bible. [...]
Customer Service, TiVo, & New Career Idea
I just got off the phone with a guy from India who works for Amazon’s customer service department. Yes, I asked where he was from. I think it was because I’ve been reading The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman. And reading [...]
The Cookie-Cutter American
This past Sunday, I was on the phone with my dad having a normal day-to-day conversation. So, I decided to mention that I spent part of my weekend working on the new website, Books In Bed, I’m designing.
“You shouldn’t waste your time on stuff like that,” he said. (Although, he later claimed [...]
Event Staff Job Probably Won’t Work Out
There’s always a multitude of topics I can discuss at the end of the day; but, as usual, I have failed to leave myself adequate time to post about them before going to bed. I will, however, talk about my new job with the CSC Event Staff.
Today was the first day to call [...]
Quitting Work For Better Time Management
I quit two of my yard work jobs today, Mrs. Cannon and Mrs. Crowder. It actually went fairly well. Especially with Mrs. Cannon. I thought she’d be the hardest to get rid of, but she said she could probably find a replacement for me pretty soon. So, no worries. I just [...]
Site Paths & Last Day Of Finals
I must write this blog before I head off to bed. Well, I really have to write this blog to make myself go to bed. See, I always write right before I go to bed. That way, if I want to post about something, there will be nothing left to post after [...]
Einstein, Yardwork, & ALLTEL
I came upon a nice little set of quotes on a website that I came across today.
“If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.”
“A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and [...]
