Choo Suk

The long weekend is coming up. The school is buzzing with activity. I got this "Dried Fish" gift box, the size of a computer from parents association. I have no clue how to prepare them. I hope my aunt does. One of the mother who had a leading role in the play also gave me 2 tickets for a movie. I wonder who I'll go with. Maybe I'll go by myself twice. I'm so glad the 6 Landmark leaders came back from Bankok safely. I don't feel so overwhelmed with the responsibility. They are bouncing off the walls. It's so cool to hang around them. When all looks so dark and dim, having a conversation shifts everything around.

September events











So far I have had a very eventful month. The school started on September 3rd. OK it would have been the Labor day in Korea but I get 4 days off at the end of the month - ChooSuk long weekend (I get 6 days off with the weekend). Besides I was at this training for the new teachers for the whole week at this fancy resort. I met some interesting people from the English speaking countries - U.S., U.K., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and South Africa. 40 of them came from University of London, Ontario, right out of school. It must be that the biggest employer in London, Ontario of the fresh graduates must be the Gyung-gi province in Korea.

On the September 14th, my students who prepared for the English theater/arts festival performed.

I was holding the "leadership role" while all the main leaders went for the training in Bangkok for the Landmark Forum team in Korea.

My grandma - another dozing off moment is hilarious. My polite Aunt was returning her "bow".
