happy march!

it's already the 3rd month of the year! i love the beginning of new months because it means i'm that much closer to coming home :)

the new school year started which meant we had another dinner together to welcome the newb teachers. we went to this restaurant right across the street from our school, and their bathroom reminded me of how i will never be a fan of community bar soap and towel. there are often times where the bathroom will have a bar soap as the only option, and i am just not cool with that. obviously, i have no choice but to use the bar of soap that god only knows how many people have touched but also dry my hands with the hand towel that may not have been washed in who knows how long. i'm only princess status when it comes to my sanitation and i just don't like using things that a million other korean people have used. korea also hasn't discovered the beauty of toilet seat covers which also bothers me a lot. it just forces me to be a tree killer and use a bunch of toilet paper to create a makeshift seat cover. i guess thats why korea still has the toilets that are in the ground--a modern version of a hole in the ground.

i start teaching regularly starting next week, but until then, i'm addicted to watching jon and kate plus 8 episodes. cutest kids ever!
