Quick post...this was just too cool

I just wanted to share a discussion I had with my middle school students last night...while in the last hour of class they asked me if I thought Korea was racist...I was a little surprised by this question and I told them that so far I've had no problems, which is true....I've had nothing but good experiences with people here though I've heard stories of people who haven't had such luck...but what surprised me was when they said themselves that Korea was racist because the society only likes white people...it was pretty amazing to hear their thoughts about the whole thing and it made me smile to know that the future generations have a different way of thinking and want to change things ^_^

I know I'm sucha slacker with updating...

Ok so a few things have been happening & I've just been lazy with this whole blog thing...my bad...now on to exciting events of life ^_^ ummm went to this fort called Gongsanseong. It was awesome I will post pics on the bottom. After looking around the fort we went out to lunch and then we were taken to a place where they make ceramics! I love ceramics and we got to make stuff as well ^_^

I went to Daegu for the day and saw some friends from training. It was a lot of fun, we went to this really nice mountain. I forgot what it was called though lol again I will post pics at the end of this post! Not much else exciting has happened aside from those two things. Oh wait, there was like a work "hike" that I did as well. I say hike but it was a paved road with shops along it on a mountain lol though there were trails that were actual hiking but I stuck with the easy way. I'm not much for hiking and it was pretty hot, or rather, it's been hot lately.  

The term is coming to an end so things have been pretty hectic lately with the kids taking the TOEFL to see if they get to level up or not. I have started taking Korean classes so hopefully I can get some understanding lol plus I just joined a gym...the plan 5 days a week 1 hr workout...ugh...this should be interesting lol I'm definitely sticking with going considering how much I had to shell out for 3months >_< not happy bout that....

My computer has recently turned into an even bigger jerk...it's not even 2 years old yet...I've had more trouble with this computer than the Dell I used to have...On top of that my other student loans are coming out of deferment and I'm trying to open an account at Citibank in the US from here because if you have one here in Korea and one in the US you can transfer money for free....I wish someone told me that before I left -_- sooo if you plan on sending money back home open a Citibank account BEFORE you leave for Korea. Also, I will try my best to update more frequently...sorry to those who keep track and read this
