I was very rarely busy at my school in Korea. Lesson planning took only a couple of hours per week, and in my downtime at school I was usually at a loss for things to do. I would write emails and read and maybe try to memorize a couple of words in Korean, but that […]
A lot of people are talking about the election these days, which is all very well and good, but maybe some of you are tired of hearing about it. Instead, if you want, you can read a long, rambling, and somewhat incoherent story about the time I accidentally put hydrogen peroxide into my eye.
