Pictures!

My laptop got connected to the internet here yesterday, which makes me feel a bit more at home - using my own computer and programs rather than the school's (especially because the filter on the school's internet wouldn't let me get to facebook! it was horrible!).
This means that I'm now able to upload some pictures I've taken to give you a better idea of where I am.


This is my bedroom. The bathroom is to the left and a short hall with lots of closet space that I don't need! There's also a nice big window seat just on the other side of the lamp.









This is the living room. My bedroom is through a door to the right, and the stove and sink are on the other side of the island to the left. That's the fridge that freezes my milk back in the corner by the window. It's all very cozy :)




I took this from a place where we had dinner last night. The school and where I'm living are just to the left of the saddle in the mountain. The saddle itself is the little town where we can do basic grocery shopping. Down to the right are homes - at night, when their lights are on, the whole mountain just glitters!







This is the sunset.













The first day of school is tomorrow! I met most of my students and their parents today. They're mostly Korean or German, with one Irish and one American; I have 9 total now. My classroom was basically already decorated and set up; I've just made some adjustments and additions. Our first 2 days are planned out, so I'll be busy until Monday working on the actual lesson plans for the rest of the term. They're on the quarter system here, so first term ends in October. It's nice to have it broken up that way - makes it easier to plan.

I never experienced jet lag, which was great - I didn't have time for it! I can't believe I still haven't been here 1 week. It feels like a lot longer than just 5 days!


Please pray that I'll be confident in my lesson plans, that I'll get and stay organized, and for positive working relationships with the rest of the faculty.
