My Z-List Job.....

So, I'm back for the second installation of my new blog....  Today has truly been a Z-list day.  For starters, I woke up for work about 15 minutes later than I should have!  My initial thought was "Holy F***!" but then I decided that I didn't care while I was getting dressed.  So, I decided to take my time and enjoy the little time I had to myself.  I mean, I still hurried, because I didn't want to show up to work and have the principal standing there with a look of disgust on her face....  In my hurried rush to get my clothes on, brush my teeth, pack my work bag, and fix my hair I somehow managed to knock over a small table in the living room.  That was a complete disaster.... I'm just glad nothing broke!!! Finally after reassembling the table I was able to get out the door with 10 minutes to make it to work in order to be considered "on time."

On my way to work, I got a text from my para saying that she didn't know if she was going to be able to make it in or not....  Her car battery doesn't work, so she is constantly having to be jumped off or something.  I don't understand it, especially when she lives with 2 men that could easily help her get the car fixed, fix it themselves, or help her buy a new battery!  Ugh, frustration!  What makes her absence even worse is that this makes her third one THIS WEEK!  I mean really....  are you allowed to miss 3 days in a single week because of your car battery?!  I don't see how she makes any money that way!  Oh, and to top it all off she's the only para I have so without her I'm completely on my own!  Totally fucking Z-list!  If I were A-List I would have millions of minions!

The most predominant Z-List moment I had today happened during lunch.  I was following a student to the bus from the cafeteria and the security guard stopped me and asked "Excuse me, where do you think you're headed?"  Seriously!?  I've been working here for two years and he doesn't know who I am.  I've dealt with this man on several occasions because he and one of my students HATED one another!  I was a little embarrassed when he asked me that.... How could I be mistaken for one of these crazy high schoolers.  However, the more I think about it he may have been complimenting me for looking so young.... or maybe even hitting on me!?  Yeah, we'll go with that!

Needless to say, I'm really happy it's the weekend!  2 days until winter break and counting.....

Holy Korean Matrimony

Well, "Hello" again everyone!  It has been a really long time since I've written in this blog, and I greatly apologize for that.  It seems that when you're working 6 days a week for 3 months, the last thing that seems to enter your mind is updating something like this.  However, here I am again in with hopes that the words I need will not escape my mind or my fingertips before I can finish this blog.  In my absence I have attempted to write an entry or two, but I haven't had much success, motivation, or content to include.  This time, I think I have found the cure.... Love! Where to begin!?  The beginning seems like the most logical place, but that requires some thinking on my part, so let me try to do this....  Let's see...  It  all began about 2 months ago.  At work, we have what we CDI-ers like to call the "Share Folder."  Basically, in this folder we are able to access all of our important work documents such as tests, supplemental readings to

Korean Living

Well, I'm officially approaching the three month mark on my year in Korea, and I honestly can't believe that two months have already passed.  It's gone by relatively fast, but not without notice....  All I seem to want to do is lie in my bed, watch every episode of The Golden Girls, listen to music on my iTunes, and drink beer, and at some point pass out..... which I'm not sure if that's from the beer, lack of sleep or from complete boredom! However, I do know that none of these things would be possible without a place to call "home."  So I've decided that I will fill everyone in on my little slice of Korean heaven, my little sanctuary, and let you all have a glimpse of the inside of my Korean style officetel apartment!  I know what you're thinking.... someone of my celebrity status would never let a lay person into their home, but this is what sets me apart from the rest of the Z-Listers.... I give the people what they want!  So, without further

New Job, New Chapter!

Hello, everyone!  It's definitely been way too long since I last decided to update this thing!  I apologize for my absence and my silence, but I guess life has gotten in the way.....  Or maybe I have honestly had nothing to blog about for over a year or maybe two?  My Z-List life hasn't been all that exciting lately.  Nevertheless, I am back and hopefully I'll stick around for more than just this entry or the next one!  I've made an honest vow to try to update a bit more often, so I expect my MILLIONS of followers to hold me to that! Anyways, what is new in my life?  I'm sure you are all dying to know..... Well, as of last month, I accepted a new job here in Korea.  I have accepted a position as English Professor at SoonChunHyang University in Asan, South Korea.  For those of you know that know me, working at a university as been my main goal since coming to Korea.  Until now, I honestly hadn't really felt like I was completely prepared for the job. However, a
