Monthly Archives: February 2010

The beginning of the 2010 school year for me and my students (who aren’t seniors) begins Tuesday March 2. Which I’m both excited and sad for. I miss my kids and also am sad because the end of teaching at Mokpo Girls High School draws nearer and nearer. I only have 29 days left in Mokpo and lots to do until the end. I’m also stuck waiting to hear whether the job I thought I had in Suncheon is actually available or not. I hate the wait.

Being home is going to be great and will be home just long enough to enjoy it and not be overly bored. It will also help me to appreciate all I have going for me not only in Korea, but also in life in general. I’m looking forward to gardening, photography, family, friends, cooking, eating, and relaxing in general. I miss Keady Market, etc. So being back homr will be nice. I haven’t really seen my sister in two years and it will great to have some time to catch up with her before she heads back to France this summer as well.

Go Canada go!!

Tractor Row

I was going through my external hard drive, looking at old pictures, when I came across the one below. I fell in love with the picture when I took it back in the Fall of 2007 and forgot about it. The picture combined three of my favorite things. Those being photography, farm life, and auctions. This photo was taken at an auction held after an old farmer died. He collected whatever he could and his collection over sixty years made for some rather awesome sights and buys. But the row of tractors fascinated me the most. Only the tractor in the background worked. All the rest were long dead or in need of serious repair to ever work.

The Boat Island

If it’s broken, it’s left on the side of the road, behind someone’s house, or apparently on an island. While going to Oedaldo last Sunday, I took the opportunity to snap some pictures of the junk boat island that is on the way to the island. Everytime I pass the island, I notice there are different boats or the older ones have been broken down (and hopefully recycled). There is so much waste in South Korea and so many things just being tossed away or abandoned. I do hope that these boats are recycled or reused and not just left here to rust.

Changee!!!

The winds of change are starting to be felt. I should be moving to Suncheon in late May to teach at Keumdang High School. I will finish my contract up at Mokpo Girls High school in late March, move home for two months and do my visa, and come back in May. I’m hoping there are no unseen snags that I will have to deal with but so far things seem peachy.
