My DMZ image gallery and recap is finally finished and online!

I am sick once again, dear friends, and I would truly like to have more Korean madness for you to read about. But it would seem that a simple cold is enough to make me lathargic and leave my brain spinning in place, struggling for a foothold. And when you have been cajoled into a 5 am Itaewon drinkathon by certain other teachers... well, it's enough to prove that my body is no longer of a university-level caliber. It is susceptible. It carries a certain degree of risk. This is something new and scary.

Christmas is coming and the kiddies have been enthusiastically singing carols. The 12 Days of Christmas is the absolute worst, in that it blows out my voice after about eight verses and I collapse on the desk while the children lustily carry onwards and pat my back in mock sympathy. It's the best carol in that it wastes a good five minutes of class time per rendition and this is a valuable asset to any English teacher's arsenal.

For New Year's, me and Jen and Chad and Matt are venturing to Beijing, China for four days. Yes, four days is all our schools will afford us in vacation time during the holiest of holidays and it sorta sucks. But it's better than nothing and we will see the Great Wall and it is going to be fucking cool.

And Marta's coming to volunteer at my school for three weeks in March! The news is All Good these days, and my immune system better get with the program or I will have no qualms about replacing it at a shady Korean medicentre.
