we had to go to today for orientation and to get our books. we got our class schedules too, i teach 6 classes MWF and 4 classes TTh. whoo. now i have to do lesson plans for all those. eek. that's what sunday's for. hayley and i managed to go to emart on our own (without cindy's help) and i got some hangers, trash can, etc. i love my closets here, i want to steal them, hehe. i'll put pics up soon. i rearranged my apt tonite so that my bed is in the closet room. now it's like i actually have a bedroom. 

i actually met a girl today on the elevator, maybe like 12 or so, who spoke english to me. first time that's happened around here. sometimes koreans say stuff to me, but it's usually in korean or so heavily accented i can't tell what they're saying. a lot of times they just laugh at us when we try to mime stuff. or they just talk away in korean despite the fact that we say we don't speak it, hehe. 

oh, and smoking is big over here i've noticed. the packages are all very pretty looking, enticing or whatever. and there's ash trays all over, even in the bathroom at school. i haven't seen any in restaurants though. so weird. and people spit on the street too, i've seen a few as i've been walking along the sidewalk and they just spit. ick.
