I Accidentally Bought the Spiciest Noodles Imaginable...

(That is a picture of Daejeon, by the way)
Well, I got home from school today and was starving...
So, I headed to the store in our apartment complex to grab something to eat...
I picked up a random 5-pack of noodles (the #5 was the only thing on the packaging that I could even read), some Pringles, and a bottle of water...
After I got home, I made the noodles, only to discover that they are spicy as all get out...
Oh well...
A guy's gotta' eat...
Anyways, I am currently sitting in my bedroom with my iPod on shuffle typing out a chapter summary for my World History class...
They have a test on Friday...
After this, I am going to try and figure out a good way to teach my Bible class this week...
It is really hard to teach high-schoolers a Bible class, especially early in the morning...
And, these kids don't get nearly enough sleep...
They are on a pretty strict schedule that the school puts out in their dorms...
However, it's tough, because I want to make it cool for them, but I have certain things that I need to try and lecture about...
However, who wants to listen to a lecture? Especially in high school...
I just can't talk about a lot of stuff that would be cool a.) because of the curriculum, b.) because of the language barrier...
Theology uses crazy jargon, so it is hard to go deep with these kids in this setting, because they don't know what all those terms mean...
I just don't want them to hate the Bible, but I feel like it's tough, because no teenager wants to sit in a classroom...
Sheesh...
Anyways, we went to Cheungju this weekend and hung out...
It was really fun to "go out on the town" and explore Korea some...
Wonder what I will do this weekend...
Who knows, hopefully something fun...

I'm in the Wrong Body...

Well, I am sitting in my 4th period class, watching my kids do a worksheet...
Being a history teacher (or a high school teacher in general) is super-tough, because a.) most people think history is boring and b.) I don't know much about it...
I love the kids, and I feel bad for fourth period, because it is the last class of the day for them and me, so we are both so stinking tired...
God help me...
I really want to bond with them...
That is my prayer...
What a discouraging post this is...
Anyways...
I have had some really good times since I have been here...
I have been to Seoul, Cheongju, and Chungju, but I forgot the USB cable for my camera, so I can't post any pictures...
I think I love this job, it is just super-stressful starting out...
I really need God's help...
I always feel sort of like I am not cut out for this job at the end of the day, but I can't wait to see the kids...
Sheesh...
Korea is a really cool place, though, and I really want to learn the language...
Also, I need a paycheck...
That will be a great day...
Well, I need to figure out a way to kill ten minutes of class really quick...
I love everyone...
Please pray for me if you ever read this...
XOXO

It Smells Like Kimchi Outside of Pizza Hut...

Well, I am here now...
I am slowly but surely getting settled in and unpacked...
Finally got some coat hangers...
PTL...
Um...
We went to Cheongbuk tonight, and are going to Seoul tomorrow...
The guys here are taller than I thought...
I still feel quasi-awkward/boxy/robotic when I am walking around, because I have no idea what anything is/says...
Oh well...
Life is great, though...
Maybe one day, I will get everything out of these suitcases and get paid...
Both of these will be momentous occasions in time...
Until then, I love you all!

The Question Is, When Will I Pack?

Welp...
I leave on Tuesday morning, bright and early...
Yep, I will be pulling out of Cleveland at around 6 am...
My visa got denied, so now I will have to get in on a tourist visa...
It's my last weekend, and I am going to Atlanta tomorrow to see my good friend Brad...
I wish I had great stuff to say, but I guess nothing exciting really happens when you sit aroud a boring town day after day...
Hopefully soon, I will have great pictures of a crazy country that speaks a language that makes my head hurt...
Peace
