Fall Is Coming

The weather today has been amazing: sunny, in the low to mid sixties, and a slight breeze blowing in. The weather is changing here in Korea. Summer is giving way to fall, a season which actually exists here but remains a mystery to Michigan.

Things are going well at school, and this past Thursday marked our first payday. Unfortunately, the U.S. markets are still busy falling all over themselves, so the exchange rate at the moment sucks. At the moment that is not a huge problem for me, but if the rate has not improved by the end of October, I am going to take some hits in transferring money back to the U.S.

This past Wednesday I found a really amazing place called Club THAT. It's a jazz club that used to be a love motel, but it has been cleaned up and now has 4 levels of entertainment. All this weekend the club is hosting a large Art exhibition for local amateur artists, many of them foreigners, to display their works. Since I have really taken an interest in photography over the past couple years, I am really excited to have found this, and I plan on having a picture or two displayed at the next exhibit, which will likely be in 4-6 months.

This weekend is going to be very busy. Tonight I am heading out with a large group of friends to an all-you-can-eat-and-drink buffet at a popular hotel. After that we are all heading over to Club THAT for the main night of the Art Exhibition, which will include a live band and some other activities. Tomorrow is going to include dinner and a movie with a co-worker, as well as scouring the department stores for some costumes for the dance that her and I we are performing at the festival. If you didn't already know, I was talked into doing a dance with 4 other teachers at a school festival that is coming up this week. We have been practicing for about a month. Apparently I am going to receive a CD with a video of the performance on it, so I will look into uploading it online for you all to watch whenever I get a chance.

Lastly, I want to give a shout-out to my boy Javon Ringer. The number two rusher in the nation looks to go for 3 straight games of 200+ yards rushing as Michigan State takes on Indiana this weekend. GO GREEN
