Graduated from training
So I finished instructor training yesterday and immediately after we finished, everyone was split up, and sent off in separate vans on our way to our respective training locations. Sono and I were the only two going to jeju, so we went to Gimpo airport. Once we got there, we had to wait a few hours for our flight, so I was pretty bored. No wifi and no movies on my laptop = LAME.
Anyways, we landed in Jeju around 9:30pm and our branch manager picked us up and took us to our house. Yes, I did say house and not studio or apartment. Sono and I are actually going to be roommates for the next year or so in this huge (by Korean standards) house. I'd say it's about the size of a average 3 bedroom home in the United States. We're currently living with our Faculty manager who is the original tenant. But his contract is up in a few weeks, so he'll be leaving and it'll just be me and Sono.
Talk about good karma. I'm not sure what I did to deserve this lifestyle, but I'm glad it happened. I'm teaching at one of the most prestigious English schools in Korea, in Jeju(!) at that, and I live in a house that is larger than any apartment I've ever lived in. I find myself feeling incredibly fortunate and really like the direction that my life is heading in.
I'll be uploading some videos in a bit, showing the house and my neighborhood, and some other clips. Stay tuned.

Post Medical Exam clip
Nothing special here, but since I recorded it, I figured I'd add it since you can get a nice feel for the weather and how nice the city is.

First day of training
So it's Monday and my roommate and I are getting dressed for our first day of training, which includes the medical examination. This means I was forced to fast for at least 6-8 hours before the tests. So here I am at 9:18 am and I am STARVING. I keep trying to drink water to at least have something in my stomach, but all it is doing is making me angry. I can't wait until the exams are over because I am going to obliterate somebody's restaurant.
There will be no survivors.
