Today is a busy one

I'm heading out the door to go the Express Bus Terminal to pick up a new top to wear tonight. I'd rather be sleeping but due to a mass amount of bruises I'm still sporting thanks to my crash landing while paragliding, I need a hot top with long sleeves. The only one I have that isn't too wintery is off limits tonight (that's the prob when you and two of your friends buy the same top and one is already wearing it!). Then I have to boot home for noon and get all fancied up to go into work. Today is Father's Day so all of my kindies and their fathers are coming in for an hour lesson. Then a quick tea then home again to de-fancy and get hotted up for a night out. Tonight should be a good one as everyone is coming out and Min and Heidi finally get to reunite! Tomorrow I am sleeping!!

Is it the weekend already??!! Thank fucking God! I also want to say...to all the people who commented on my post about my being sick..if you made a comment about it being booze induced or that I drink too much, FUCK YOU! I drink a few times a month and choose to post photos of my nights out. A few times a month does not constitute as having a drinking problem or that I drink enough to induce sickness!!!! A, hope you feel better soon would have been suffice. Some people are so insensitive!

So much work!

I don't think our school could have pilled more work onto our shoulders in one month! I have to write 4 tests, report cards, Father's Day..it goes on. I can't wait until next week when everything will just be smooth sailing until Christmas vacation. I'm meeting up with the ladies tomorrow night which will be awesome and hopefully I'll be able to blow off a lil steam. Then before I know it, the weekend will be here and I can chill. Going for tests at the doctor tomorrow wish me luck!

More kiddy pics

Saturday..

The weekend is upon us and I have ZERO plans. That is a first in a very long time. I love it! Rachel Lynn, Heidi, and Cam have taken off for the weekend, so there really isn't much going on. I have report cards to write, and 4 tests to do so that will take up some time. Other than that I'm free as a bird to do whatever. I might hook up with Joel tonight which would be nice as we haven't hung in a long time :)

I didn't get around to posting my photos from my journey to Nowon last weekend to chill with Adrian or from our trip to the caves. I'll get em up now!


Adrian, welcoming me to Nowon




We went to eat steak, it was so delicious as we were famished. Adrian thought his potatoe skin tasted like popcorn because it had about a pound of salt on it. I told him to lick it..he did. I didn't take anymore pictures because we were too busy riding hot sweaty subways, barganing for dvd players, and having good times. Notice though the worst animal print shirt in the history of EVER. I didn't want her to catch me taking a snap of it's heinousness. It's zebra print with zebras on it. AWFUL!


Gosu Caves

After our paragliding jump last weekend, our guide took us to Gosu Caves. I wasn't sure what to expect but they were pretty cool. They are thousands and thousands of years old. We all bumped our heads respectively a few times on the low hanging rock. The stairs were steep and winding but the view was spectacular.

Usually my kids wow me with their awesomeness. Today, I wanted to give them all a shake and say what the hell is up? We had our father's day observation class (that is when the school's owner comes and watches us practice our lesson that we will be doing next Saturday for the dad's). Anyway, my kids CHOKED! Seriously..they choked so hard I wanted to run out of the room. Granted I have made the lesson VERY hard but we've been practicing for a few days and they do well in class. I don't think Mrs.Oh was very impressed, however she was sweet and smiled and said they just need practice. AHHHH! So I guess she told them in Korean that she will be coming back to watch again (she didn't say it to me). Only the crappy teachers have two observations! I think next week I'll be running my class like a military operation. Constant drilling until they eat, sleep, and breath it!

Sooooo tired. Seriously, I could sleep for days. Actually the thought of sleeping for days sounds wonderful!! At least tomorrow is Friday!

Paragliding Part 2

Yeah! Some pics of me!! Thanks ladies for passing those along :)

After Heidi and Jes jumped everyone sort of abandoned RL and I on the plateau and we were left to lay in the sun for about 45 mins before someone drove back up the mountain to get us. There were only 2 tandem instructors so we had to wait until after lunch for our jumps. We went to a little place at the bottom of the mountain for some food. RL and I weren't too interested in eating. We wanted to jump already!!!! Finally we headed back up and RL was first up. RL was a super trooper! I think because she was sooo much taller then her instructor, when they took their running start something went wrong when they almost lifted and they crashed. I swear to God my heart stopped beating in my chest. I have never felt panic like that before. When she stood up it was the most relief I have ever experienced. After going down into the grass face first she walked back up and tried again. The next take off was beautiful as was her landing. I'm glad we got to jump around the same time because we got some pics of us getting into our gear! I was stoked! I think the look on my face is a dead give away :)



Rachel Lynn's Jump



The first jump



The second jump


I guess they saved the best for last, ME! I was calm and ready I wasn't the least bit nervous! We ran and took off without a problem. IT WAS AWESOME. I expected to feel butterflies or something in my stomache like when you are on a rollercoaster, there was nothing. It was just calm and easy. The guy I jumped with was really great and he kept trying to scare me by stopping the glide and then letting it fall a bit then moving again. I guess he wasn't aware of the fact that I get off on rushes like that!!! It was great. Seeing the road and the water and trees beneath my feet was amazing. It was certainly a THRILL RIDE! Everything was going so well until..it was time to land. We came in too low and the landing surface was hard clay and rocks. I was told on touch down to start running but we were so low I couldn't stand up properly and well I did a face plant into the rocks and we were dragged a bit by the shoot. So I'm kinda banged up but it was sooooooo worth it!!!!!!!!!! I'm totally ready to jump out of a plane now! Which will be in the spring :) RL got pics of me coming into land and well on the ground tangled up. Sadly no video of my jump cause I wasn't there to take it.

My jump







After we finished our guide (Seong) took us to a famous cave area. I'll post about that tomorrow.

I just want to wish my amazing parents a very happy 35th wedding anniversary! I wish I could be there with both of you! I love you!

Bible Brew

HAHAHA!

Paragliding Part 1

Yesturday morning the four of us hopped into a cab and headed over to Sadang for 7am. We were to meet up with the people from Jonathan Sky, and go paragliding. We filled out the forms and got into the truck and headed off to Danyang. This has been something Rachel Lynn and I have been talking about doing since forever ago so we finally made it happen! We had a wonderful guy who drove us up and took care of us for the day. He was the only English speaker in the bunch so I guess he had no choice but to get stuck with the 4 of us! We arrived in the area and we loaded up the truck to drive up to the plateau where we were to jump from. There was about 7 of us pilled in the back of the pick up bed sitting on the parachutes. Sooooo illegal I'm sure but sooo fun! When we arrived at the top, Jes was the first to jump. The only instructions we were giving was run at the top and start running when you hit the ground! She took off and landed without incident. Here is a video and some photos of her jumping!

Jes' Jump




After Jes had her jump, there were some people in the flying club that made their jumps and then it was Heidi's turn. She took off without any issues (well a tree branch smacked her in the face but she said it was no biggie) however, when she landed she did an ass plant into the ground. Poor Heidi :( She looked awesome doing it though!

Heidi's Jump




Rachel Lynn and I didn't get to jump until after lunch. So the story about that later. I still haven't received any pics from my jump yet so when I do, part 2 of this post will follow with RL's exciting jump and mine :)

I can get er up but gettin er down is another story

I won't tell you about the amazing time we had paragliding today because I'm tooo freaking tired. There will be about a zillion photos and video to follow. Hopefully my dear friends (you know who you are) will send along their photos they took of me gliding as I couldn't take them of myself. Here is a little taste of the awesomeness that is to come!

Us

Last night Rachel Lynn, Heidi, and myself headed out to Hongdae. Beaks caught a ride with us because he had a hot date there. We started in Tin Pan (which really isn't any surprise). We met lots of people and in should walk Mino, Jiho, Jayme, and Kim. I like those guys! We got drunken and danced and had good times! I was stoked when Jes decided to come and join us (I love her!). I ended up coming home at 4ish because I have a big day planned today with Adrian. It will first start off with FOOD then shopping then some beers. I'm also soooo excited because in less than 24hrs I'll be on my way to jump off of a mountain!! Those pics will ROCK!

It's going to be a good one!

This weekend is going to be a great one! Out with the ladies tonight for the usual festivities, tomorrow I'm chillin with Adrian, and Sunday I am jumping off of a mountain!!! Wooohooo!

On another note, we had a field trip yesturday to Seoul Grand Park. The kids got to make pinwheels, clay things, and they got to play in a big inflatable castle. Here are some pics!

I should never play hard on a school night!

Last night Rachel Lynn, myself, and my new partner teacher, Sunny, went out for some food and a few beers. A few beers turned into many and the many beers turned into cherry soju and so on and so on until Rachel and I ended up at the Family Mart drinking and eating a stranger's chicken. I can't express how happy I am to finally have a co-teacher whom I totally love. Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that my old partner teacher, May, sucked ass. Seriously she had zero personality and we pretty much hated each other. Sunny, however, is so freaking awesome!!! Although she did pass out in my lap last night because of drinking too much..hahaha!

I love Rachel Lynn so much it hurts my spine.

From the LCI Kids Club album

BLAAA! Back to work! Not that I don't totally love my job, because I do. I just prefer doing what I want when I want to! My calender is full for the entire week...at work and for play. It's hard being me sometimes!

This one's for Jes

The thing about holidays is...

The thing about holidays is they never seem to last. It is Sunday and my week off of work is almost over. The only good thing is that the next time I have a holiday I'll be flying to Egypt which is pretty awesome. Tomorrow back to work and then busy busy busy! I'm stoked that next weekend we are going paragliding which is something RL and I had planned on months and months ago. Work is busy with field trips, Father's Day, and so on...things are great right now!

I went out last night....and the only comment I have to make is...EVERYBODY deserves a little hot sexual chocolate every now and again!

We are the definition of awesome!

Okay so scary sleepover didn't happen because SOMEONE was afraid to watch scary movies! So we watched some others and had some drinks and some PEOPLE started getting sleepy so RL, Heidi, and I went up on the roof and had a limbo competition (thanks to a crutch we found in the hallway) and we ended up in the noraebang singing every NKOTB song known to man! Fun times!

Scary Sleepover!

I'm finishing some cleaning up around the house because tonight I will be hosting our first annual Scary Sleepover! The girls are coming over for some drinking, some ouija board, scary movies! Should be fun times! I know you wish you were coming :)

I snagged this one from Marissa. I was curious what my friend's names and my name meant..haha!

Jes -- [adjective]: Like in nature to a train-riding hobo

Rachel Lynn -- [adjective]: Visually addictive

Heidi -- [noun]: A person of questionable sanity who starts their own cult

Shelly -- [noun]: A dance involving little to no clothing

I'm so hot I burn like dry ice!

Although we were all hurting and hung over from Monday night, we all got our butts up and out to enjoy the sunshine. We met at Sujis in Itaewon (excellent brunch if you have yet to try it!). We sat on the rooftop and ate yummy food and enjoyed the warm weather.



After brunch we decided we should do something cultural on our holiday week so we headed over to Gwanghwamun so we could hit Gyeongbok Palace. I hadn't been to the palace in 5 years (since the last time I lived in Korea) and it was nice to go again and see it in the evening sun. It really is a beautiful place.



After the palace it was back to Itaewon so the girls could get some pitas. Heidi told a funny joke about her being as hot as dry ice and Rachel Lynn's pita came out her nose!



We decided it was time to hit the bars again so we headed over to Bungalow. It is a cute little bar that has sand on the floor. Marilyn and I had fancy cocktails and Heidi and RL had some wine.



We then headed back to Geckos. We were eventually joined by Cam and Saejin and one of Saejin's good friends who was on a blind date. It was a good time (especially when Saej
