That's right. I will no longer be posting on this blog, not that I posted much here anyway. I have moved to http://ramblingstray.co.cc/ and will in time re-write and move some of y old posts to that blog.
But from now on I won't be posting here.
Well I am back!
I'm back from Australia.
Back in Korea.
And back in the cold.
But all in all I had a very good holiday. I spent my Christmas pretty much packing and getting all my stuff stored away because I had to leave the place that I was in at the end of my last contract as it was provided by the school.
So as dull as Christmas was I had a really good time over New Years as I was back in my family and my girlfriend was able to come with me for the first week. So for the first week we did a ton of tourist stuff around where my parents live. That was great fun but by the end of the first week when we dropped my gf off at the airport we were all pretty much exhausted. That and we all had colds.
For the second week, I had some time at home and did some stuff with my parents and we all just had a rest and got to spend some time with each other. But then at the end I had another nice long flight back to Korea.
But yeah. Now i am in my new place in downtown Cheonan, getting everything sorted out. And now I have some time off until before I (hopefully) start my new job in March.
Anyway more blogs coming up about what I have been up to and what I got planning in the next little bit.
Well it is the season!
So here is a pic that I saw on the great photo blog by Anamboy
Hmmm . . . I wonder what the bad boys get?
Well i have been a little quiet on the blog side of things lately as I am coming very close to the end of my contract and visa as well here in Korea.
Lately my life has consisted of hunting for jobs and fretting about what to do if I don't get one.
Unfortunately so far nothing on the job side has managed to pan out. There was one that I was hoping to get but unfortunately that didn't work out so now I am in the pool for the EPIK program here in Chungnam. So fingers crossed that the recruiter can find me something located in Cheonan.
What does that mean in the short term. Well I was always planning to take the time off from the end of December until March 2009 when the new school term starts, but I was hoping to line something up so i could get my visa changed over. Now though I am going to fly back home on the 27th of December and see some family and friends for 2 weeks around new years and come back on a tourist visa. My parents are really excited about me coming home and so am I. This time Amy is coming too, but only for the first week as she still has to work after that, unlike me!
When i come back I have organised what they call an officetell in the downtown of Cheonan to live. With the money I have saved and the money I will get at the end of my contract I should have enough to live comfortably until I am able to get into another job around March. And if I can find a job. Well I will deal with that when the time comes.
That's all I got for now. I will post some pictures of my new place a bit later but at the moment it is time to get back and teach some more kiddies
So I know this is a little late but here is a picture of the 첫눈 or first lot of snow that we had for this winter here in Cheonan. This was taken on Tuesday, November 18, 2008
So my computer died for the second time with the same problem.
Fried a memory module on the graphics card it seems. Happened once as soon as I got here and then again on Friday, November 22. First time it was still covered by my DELL warranty but this time it wasn't so I was expecting to have to fork out some serious cash to get it fixed. But when they gave it back to me last Wednesday the happily told me "no charge" as it was a recurring problem.
So now that i have a PC and some time again hopefully I will be able to put up some new posts.
Be good computer. Don't die again please.
Yes I am still alive, and I intend to keep this blog going too it is just the last few weeks have been so flat out that I haven't had the chance or the will power to sit in front of the computer and write anything.
However it seems like things might be starting to settle down a bit now so hopefully in the next week or so there will be some new posts.
Like some of the following.
- A post on my new favorite day of the year. Pepero Day!!
- My first Halloween . . . . in Korea
- Luke and Renee's Wedding and my trip back to Australia.
- And hopefully some news on the job front as my contract is up in December and I have no intention of renewing here. Please, please, please let that school cal me back.
Anyway that is all for now. More coming real soon.
