On the plus side...

I just got word from my co-teachers that my classes were canceled today. That means I'm done for the rest of the week and have almost 7 hours free today. Let me explain, tomorrow through Friday is semester tests. My co-teachers are concerned about some of their classes and think that they are not adequately prepared for their mid-term exams. All exams in Korea are huge affairs. We're devoting the next three days just for testing, after all and this is only the Middle School level. So, for the past week, the classes that tend to struggle have been commandeered by my co-teachers. The students have been cramming at their academies (private after-school school) for the past few weeks as well. So I only taught 5 classes last week instead of the 10 I was supposed to. This week, I'll only only have taught 2 classes. I feel horrendously lazy.

On the plus side, I'm trying to buy some different things on the second hand market. On Pusan Web they have a classified section that I've been perusing. I managed to find a Krazr cell phone for sale for only 95,000 won. They retail here for about 400,000 won and buying a phone here costs around 100,000 anyways. So that means I'll have an exact copy of the phone that I had in America. I win! I also am looking through a couple of fire sales. People who are leaving the country need to liquidate their apartments. That means so much for super cheap. So I'm contacting people about humidifiers, blenders, chairs, and couches. Hopefully, these little deals work out.
