Quickie Morning Note!

Just a short note as I'm out of time this morning. Mags and I discovered the river path this morning on our walk, it's quite nice with separate paths for bikes and pedestrians, so there's less chance I'll be run over by a scooter (they drive just about everywhere!). The wallpaper people arrived at my apartment at 8:30 and I didn't understand what they wanted (no wallpaper visible, I didn't clue it). I heard them in the hallway explaining that some crazy foreigner told them to go away, and then rememberd I was indeed expecting company - they're busily eviscerating the disgustingness from my walls as we speak. I'm hoping I'll also get my wardrobe from the upstairs neighbour as well (I've been left a power screwdriver so I can muscle it together myself, fun! fun!), so once that's done I should be able to take some apartment pics tonight!
Today is my first day checking out the school (which is why I'm in a hurry), I need to be over there shortly. I'm not sure what the heck is happening this week, boss just told me to show up so I'm going! Feeling a bit nervous, the whole meeting a ton of new people again (not so good at that), but I'm sure it'll be fine. That's once nice thing about Korea... in general, people are pretty friendly, much less of the crap that goes on at home happens here, (the whole sticking together phenomenon I think?). That said, I must run. Have a great day, more later, S.
