Daejeon Cafe: Moon Banggu Coffee // 달방구 커피 So I actually visited this cafe a long time ago, before I went back to America, but realized that I never actually made a post about it! (Possibly because I'm not crazy about the pictures I got that day. But whatever.) Moon Banngu Coffee in Galmadong…

Since I've been slow on posts lately I thought I'd do another day in the life! This particular day was March 8th. I think it's possible that I'm still not over my jet lag since coming back from America because I found myself wide awake before my alarm had gone off at 6:00. No complaints…
February Update: America Welcome to the first monthly update of 2018! (Yes I missed January, sorry about that.) February was a busy month. I officially finished my first year of teaching, my third graders graduated, and I went back to America to see my family! Out of all my other friends and all their school's,…
I arrived in Korea two days before school started and that, of course, meant that when Friday morning rolled around I was still recovering from the jet lag. So the morning of the first day of school found me wide awake at 4:30am with plenty of time to chill a little bit before school started.…

Tips for Surviving Your First Day as an EPIK Teacher If walking up to my school on the first day amid a literal sea of students staring and gawking at me wasn't enough to make me nervous, then standing in front of my first class of 30 something 15-year-old boys was. Your first few…

One of the major perks of teaching middle school are the multitude of ridiculous things that I get to hear on a daily basis. Whether it's something clever and witty from a high level student, something bold from a kid who's inflated ego has managed to disregard the fact that they can't put together a…

So close to one year! At this very moment in time I'm 26 days away from my trip back to the US, and even fewer from my last day at school for the year. This month, and to be fair basically the past 3 months, at school have been pretty much a joke. It's been…
