Blue Skies & Bright White Clouds

By Stephanie | Life, Teaching

I was in the middle of one of my 6th grade classes yesterday when one of the girls looked out pointed out the window, “Look, teacher!!” I strained to see what I figured to be an airplane in the sky, but didn’t see anything. Two other girls turned around and started oohing and aahing. At

26 Days Left!!

By Stephanie | Life

I have a feeling this last month in Korea is going to go by fast! There are a few things we’re going to do and a few people we’re hoping to see… but other than that, we’re just working, packing and trying to relax. I’m starting to get excited! I’m trying to contain myself somewhat

29 Days Left In Korea!

This vacation has been really nice. Matt’s been working on his blog (he’s using WordPress instead of Movable Type) and I got back to re-organizing mine. We’ve both been talking a lot about our company and have come up with some new ideas. I prepared two boxes for shipping home and we’ve watched several Lost

Care for a shawarma anyone?!?

By Stephanie | Life

I have this picture in one of my online photo albums and a friend asked me what a shawarma was. I’ve only ever eaten them, so I decided to click my way to understanding over at the most trusted site on the internet, Wikipedia (hehe). Shawarmas are from the Middle East and are basically cousins

I decided that whole add-graphics-as-I-go wasn’t working with my banner. So, I trashed it and did something different. I really want to learn more about graphic design… Matt and I re-arranged our apartment again yesterday. We didn’t have enough room to workout and we were always bumping into the couch or the bed corner when

I is mad, then I is not.

I waited in line for 15 minutes to get a Coke from McDonald’s today. What’s more ridiculous? The fact that they were running around in circles, unable to assist customers, or me, standing there for fifteen minutes? It sucks that there is only one place with fountain drinks in our area! Gosh, the worst part

Freaking Mosquitoes

By Stephanie | Life, Teaching

I’m not sure what it is about the mosquitoes here but they are bad news. Whenever I get bit, the area around the bite swells up at least triple the size of a normal bite, and that’s without scratching. They drive me crazy because they not only itch like crazy, they also burn a little

Productive Days Make Me Happy

By Stephanie | Life

I got two “okay” nods from my taekwondo instructors tonight. That made me feel pretty good. I’m really trying hard to work this whole thing out. I need more strength and flexibility! Today was a really nice day at work. I have a lot to do again, because it’s nearing the end of the month,

We Finally Hiked the Mountain In Our Backyard

By Stephanie | Life

The second I opened the curtains, I knew we had to leave the house. We just couldn’t spend the day indoors when it was so clear outside. Thank God for breaks in the rain during monsoon season! I suggested we hike Suri-san since we’ve never been over there. Suri-san is the bigger mountain we see

I was in a weird mood yesterday, and I’m in another weird one today. Yesterday it was raining like crazy. It was hot outside but it was freezing inside from all of the air cons running full freakin’ blast, it kinda felt like it was fall. I was walking back and forth from class wishing
