One Week Down

Well I passed training, and headed down to Busan last Friday. Today I have my last two classes of the week, and so far I really like it here. My apt. is a slightly different story, but the school is unquestionably a good place for me.

I teach three different classes, with students between the ages of about 7 and 14. I teach in the evenings, from 4:30-10:30pm, which works nicely. I like the kids a lot, and my fellow teachers are very nice and I'm getting to know them better bit by bit. The branch (the school I'm working for is a franchise with branches across the country) I'm working at is nice, the facilities and resources are great, and it's a 30 second (yes, under a minute) walk from my apt. building.

My apt. is nice, but the guy before me smoked, so I've spent a good part of my week cleaning, re-cleaning, and spraying air freshener, including spraying the walls completely with the anti-cigarette spray stuff. Now that I'm cleaned obsessively for a week, things are starting to look up, and I'm beginning to make it my own space.

In general, I'm happy, I'm doing well, and I'm looking forward to settling in more and getting my life set up in terms of internet at home, phone service, TV, bank account, gym membership...all the things that I'm hoping to have in place after a couple months! Then I'll feel like I'm really living here, rather than just spending time here.

That's all for now, because I have to get down to business, but I wanted to post a quick update!
