electronic blackboard...

in september, our school will start using an electronic blackboard.... that is just the fancy way of saying, a projector....

the stupid catch is... the teachers need to bring their own laptops... if u dont have one, BUY ONE!

so.... i voluntarily guinea pigged myself, and im trying the system out...

it is more work now, because i need to make the slides on powerpoint... but i guess afterwards, i will not have to write the answers on the board again and again....

BUT~!!! having said that.... it is pretty annoying to carry my computer to and from work all the time..... i'd rather just write up the answers on the board once in a while.... meh~ anyways...

the photo attached today.... TUNA & PEOPLE.... haha... they serve raw tuna, cooked tuna, tuna soup... raw people, cooked people, and people soup?? haha

ok.... ok..... at the time.... it was funny...... really -.-

a day in hospital...

so... i had my first minor accident of korea.... i thought it was food poisoning, but it ended up my liver (which has been an ongoing health problem) couldnt keep up with the unhygienic food i was eating in korea.... and the last big mac tipped the scales.... and i spewed.... and spewed and spewed..... i threw up so much that i dehydrated myself, and whenever i drank water, i vomitted it back up straight away....

at the time of my vomit-a-thon, i was with a few students that i had taught in china... they are in korea now to do their university entrance exams.... and they took me to a nearby hospital... and i went on the drip for a few hours, slept for ages, had my blood test, etc etc.... and now i feel realtively fine....

well, it was quite nice that i had my old students take me to the hospital... and pretty funny to hear the doctor tell me that i eat too much junk food... he said it wasnt the cholestrol or the fat that was harming me so much... it was the fact that my liver couldnt work effeciently enough to keep up with the dirty crap in the food... -.-

anyways... i think i'll stay off the burger for a while... ^^

the rainy season...

so my last post on the blog was about a lucky streak.... well.... just like sportsbetting... as soon as i posted a message on my blog, the luck changed ^^ damn u percentages!!! haha

so this week is supposedly the start of the rainy season here in korea...

if u look back on my blog, it was this time last year i had those massive floods outside the front of my house in china....

i just checked... it was EXACTLY july 2nd last year i posted that... haha~ go figure~

wow... i've been writing on this blog for over a year now.... lame~~~

i dont know if its because of the rain, but alot of people at work today are pretty bummed out... some of the teachers seem a little down today, and a few of my 'hyperactive' kids have been 'hypoactive' today....

i've been having some problems with my drainage in the bathroom these days... i think its clogged up down the bottom, so the water drains out very slowly.... its like a time bomb... u have to wash quickly, or the bathroom will flood over into the room.....

byron (canadian teacher) is leaving on monday, and he's spending a few nights at my place coz he had to move out of his old place... now the chances of my room flooding is higher.... meh~ its pretty much flooding outside coz of the rain... i might as well flood my room too inside~
i have a summer vacation at the end of this month... i pretty much get a break from 25th July to the 2nd August.... im still not sure what to do, where to go, go alone or with others...? meh~ i guess i'll need to think about that pretty soon too... -.-
ah wells~ i just hope it stops raining before my vacation.... i dont want to travel around in rain~!
july 2nd... happy birthday sam and bernie~
