That's cool!

I just added music! And you can play it right here. Except - sorry! Some of the songs are only 30 second clips. I wouldn't have put them on if I knew that before... But it's still pretty cool!

No job as of yet...

Went for the interview in Busan - didn't get the job. And I haven't heard anything yet from the ones I applied to last week. I sent emails to Duksung Women's University and an adult academy (both in Seoul), and I sent packages to Dongguk University (Seoul) and Kyungpook National University in Daegu.
I suppose if I don't get any university job I'll start to look at public schools. I could work days at an elementary or middle school and be pretty happy. We'll see what happens with these last couple colleges. meh.

Artist of the Month - December

Each month, MTV Korea crowns an Artist of the Month. I'll be bringing you the artist's newest music video. Here's December. (The woman in this video is Lee Hyori, a very famous Korean singer.)

Wheesung - Fading Star

The Update

Well, I didn't get the interview for Hongik University. But I did get one for Busan National University! On Friday, December 12 I'll take the train over to Busan to meet with the Director of the program. I'm not sure what to expect, so I'll have to research a little bit and prepare before I go.
I'm also going to apply for a couple other jobs, one in Daegu and others in Seoul.

On another note, my new house is great. (Pictures to come soon.) It has good energy, I can just tell it! It's a little bigger and has a small bit of storage so my boxes are out of the way. And I got a small vacuum so I can clean up all the rabbit fur - easier than sweeping!

So, that's the dish for now.

New

Well, it's 12:10 AM on Wednesday December 3rd. I'm going to check the website for Hongik University to see if I got called back for an interview...

... Wish me luck!! ......

Boo! No news yet. It still says "If you applied for the position, please check this website on December 3 to see if you are invited for an interview."

They must mean business hours on December 3.

In other news I'm finally moving to another apartment. Unfortunately, it was quite a hassle to get that to happen. The guys who help us teachers out are usually quite easy going and helpful but this time they made me feel really bad about moving. This is primarily because I was the one to decide to move - due to the giant mold creature gaining territory on the ceiling of my bedroom. Of course, they agreed with me that a person shouldn't live in that condition, but it still amounted to additional work for them.

On top of that, I even took it upon myself to meet with a real estate broker to look at (more than a few) properties. I picked a couple nice ones, the first one of which was lost because my school didn't move fast enough on it. The others were, according to my school, too good for me.
"You see," I was told, "teachers compare their house, so you can't have a much better house."
They also thought that my second choice was too far from the other teachers' houses in my neighborhood. This is just a stupid argument. Anyway.

A house very much the same as the one I have now was chosen for me - just around the corner. So, I'll be moving my things in on Thursday.
