7 Luck Casino

I'm having a lot of luck these days at the Korean casino and am starting to think of it as my new source of added income! I played roulette tonight, and put between 2 and 5 chips down every hand and literally only lost 3 hands the whole night... and I was there for about an hour and a half! That's incredible, incase you weren't aware! I ended up walking away with 57,500 won. Thank you Lotte Seven Luck Casino!

Go With The Flow

This morning, I walked into my classroom at 8:45am (15 minutes before school starts) and my kids were already sitting in their seats. Come to find out, school started at 8:45am this morning, instead of 9am, and Stella forgot to tell me!

Then, instead of 10 minute breaks, we had 5 in between classes! This surely was NOT enough time for the kids to release all their built up energy from sitting in class for 40 minutes, and definitely not enough time for me to have some peace and quiet to prepare for the next class! They were crazy and nearly uncontrolable today - which is NEVER the case!

And I just found out that I can leave work at 1pm instead of 4:40pm today! I have no idea why, and I'm not gonna ask! I'm learning to go with the flow around here, and am becoming surprisingly more and more laid back as the days roll by! - And to be honest... I kinda like the new me!

Picture Day

Today was apparently picture day - Would have been nice to know! I apparently wasn't the only one who didn't know though... Teachers were pulling out their extra blazers and coats to give to fellow teachers to spruce up their otherwise casual outfit! Note, the teacher 2nd in from the left in the front row, Lisa, is wearing my shoes! :)


1st row: (L - R) Laura, Lisa, Barbara, Principal, Vie Principal, 6th grade Teacher , Mr. Jo.
2nd row: (L - R) Crystal, Nicole, Susan, Administrator, Ella, April, Lindsay, Charity, Lee.
3rd row: (L - R) Vivianne, Me, Stella, Chloe, Kindergarten Teacher, Josh, Jason, Mr Beck.

Here, Have My Credit Card!

Yesterday, I was given my school's credit card to buy some bookshelves for my apartment!


I was shocked, to say the least, that they simply handed me the card and said I could buy whatever bookshelf I wanted without an Administrator to accompany me! Although, then it dawned on me that when I was the Office Manager at Millennium High School, I basically had the school credit card at my disposal because I was incharge of the $20,000 Maintenance and Opperation Budget and the $200,000+ Capital Budget and Dr Runyan (The principal) certainly never knew or cared about what I was buying with the money, because he trusted my bargain shopping skills and the way I always stayed in budget! He trusted me as if I were his own personal accountant! Maybe I should be some sort of accountant when I come back to the US! Sure seems like people trust me with their mula~!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

All around Busan, outside of arcades, or just simply on the street in random areas, you can find these boxing games! Ususally junior high or high school aged boys are crowded around them, ready to take out all their anger on the bag! I cringe everytime I see them hitting it, because they come sooooo close to hitting the metal at the top of the machine that holds the bag!
