dear mom and dad,

things are good, it's actually not so freezing here lately! dad, has grandma been praying about the weather for me? let her know that her direct link with the man upstairs is ringing through to him loud and clear.

hey mom, dad let me know that he buys coke zero and SPRITE zero for you, do you like it? im glad you're drinking the low calorie stuff. im here in the hotel drinking coke zero and packing my suitcase, b/c i got the keys to my apt a couple days ago! i went by yesterday to make sure i knew exactly where it is and that the keys worked, and YEAH im moving today! im so happy, i cant wait to unpack and settle. ive got two beautiful windows and a gorgeous bathroom and a washing machine and stove top and refrigerator, im very VERY excited! it's very very close to "E-Mart" which is like a walmart here. i've got pretty much everything i need already, but it's nice to know im so close to a shop if i do need something.

classes are going well, i thought i'd have a lot of trouble with the younger ones, but they're so cute. the older kids, they're around 15-16 years old, are all so quiet and act too cool, it's pretty cute too actually!

im settling in at work amongst the staff quite well. they've all been really nice and helping me learn the ropes. there are two other sistas that work at the school as well, we decided we'd start a club :) they, along with xxxx (a white guy, very cute and very gay fellow teacher) took me out for drinks and dinner after work yesterday. they pounded back the soju and spent half the night complaining about working for cdi, and then the other half about how great cdi is and it being the best job they've ever had. dad, do you remember back in your day, does it go like that with drinking sometimes? ;) i stuck to water.

i dont know the name of the dish we ate, it was chicken and sweet potato and these thick sort of chewy pasta like things. i only had a bit, it was tasty but SPICY and i couldnt handle it. plus, i of course did my step workout that morning and dont want to mess up my health plans. well, im going to finish packing, oh my first night actually settled into my own place, thank goodness. ~sha.
