1 term finished as 'a Englishee Teecher'

I have finished the first term here at the school and monday starts a new term. Again I will be teaching 4 classes in the afternoon but different levels. I have a level 1 (those that passed starter), my same preschool class, Level 3 (those that passed level 2), and my same Middle School Class. I figured i would say goodbye to my old classes with class pictures I took of the students during the last week.

Kindergarten classes


Backpack Starter Class



Preschool Class

Backpack Level 2 (the boys and girls refused to get together for a picture)

I dont have any pictures of my advanced class (Because they always hide if i pull out the camera)

So those are my students for the first term. Next week I will see who my new students are and who i have again from previous classes.

Weekend Beach Retreat with College Life

August 15th was Korean Independence day so I had the day off from teaching and was able to go with the Korea Young Adults group (AKA College life) to the East sea on a end of summer retreat.
It was a long and busy weekend but lots of fun. We left Thursday around 9 pm and after a midnight breakfast (yes midnight breakfast on Thursday night) we arrived at the church we were staying at around 3 in the morning. Friday we woke up to rain so we spent the morning just being lazy and getting to know one another. By the afternoon the rain had slowed down and we went to the beach for a few hours before heading back to the church for dinner and worship. After worship there we had an intensive prayer time that went about 4 hours. There was another midnight breakfast that night (fried chicken this time) and then to bed around 2 am. Saturday we woke up and had another worship/devotional before hitting the road around noon. We drove to another town and had raw fish for lunch (which was actually edible). The soup with lunch had whole fish heads in it and my table gave me a nice big one :X I picked the pieces of meat from around the head and avoided the eyes and brain. Overall it was a nice meal and everyone was suprised that I actually ate the fish. After lunch we piled back into the bus to head home (so i thought) but instead went up a mountain to a cave. We didnt get to explore the cave because of a lack of time so it was just a detour up and down the mountain to look at some lovely scenery. We finally arrived back in asan around 11 PM (after leaving around noon).
Over all the trip was lots of fun. I met more of the Koreans my age and found 2 that spoke pretty good english (i thought they didnt speak any). Even with the long hours in a cramped bus the trip was definatly worth going.
Pictures will follow in another post (because the photo uploader is not working right now)
