Enough already with the snow in Dongtan!

This picture was taken from my balcony window. It has snowed now two days in a row. I am getting tired of walking to work in this stuff. Since I have about a 20 minute walk, I have gotten pretty good at not falling down. Somehow I almost always bust it on the blind people dots in the sidewalk. If you are from North America, you probably have no idea what I am talking about, but Korea and Japan both have these rubber indentions built into the sidewalk so blind people can find their way. I will try and upload a photo later this week. Add snow and they are quite slippery.

This was the view from my classroom. I have been teaching for a couple of teachers that are out. I would show you the view from my room, but alas, I don't have a window. Maybe when a teacher or 2 leaves, I can upgrade my classroom. It snowed all day yesterday until about 5 pm and then it was gone. The same thing happened today. I am kinda getting tired of all the snow. I am ready for spring and warm weather. It did not take me long to get tired of it. I mean considering that I was in Mississipi for Christmas and we were able to wear shorts the week of Christmas. I should be enjoying it, but two days of slushing around is plenty for me. Dongtan is actually quite beautiful with all the snow coming down. I wish that I would have gotten more pictures. I still plan on taking some more photos of the place, just so everyone knows what Dongtan, Korea looks like.

In other news, I am teaching a couple of classes and filling in for teachers that have been sick. I believe that I will be teaching a full schedule come February. The Hakwon seems to be a better one and the boss seems really cool. I like all the teachers that I am working with and the Korean staff seems really organized. Time will tell!
