Apologies all around: Best of Tweets!

I have betrayed you good friends. In an effort to update more often, and still retain some sort of life complete with social outings, I have begun tweeting. Yes, I realize that Twitter is the lazy, minimalized attention-span bastard cousin of the blog, and yet, I have been keeping up. You can read it here

In case your pointer is feeling as lazy as my mind was here are some notable moments from teaching:


Saw "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" today. In Korean. Things that translate well: Small, deformed penises. Things that do not: words in Korean.

Report Carding for the children. Wishing I could rate my students on a scale of 1-3 gongs. "Mr. and Mrs. Kim....GONG GONG GONG"

My sniffly nose does not bode well for my St. Patrick's Day in Seoul. And this being the first time I will let actual Irish people down.

Notable Notes: After handing one of my kindergarten students a scrabble tile, he promptly put in his mouth. Noting the underlying issues....

Dear Black Bean: What on God' green earth are you doing in my donut ? Get out. You simply do not have any place in something sweet.

PUB QUIZ KOREA REIGNING CHAMP! Also: I CLEANED MY BACK PATIO.

Thanking my lucky stars that my students don't understand all English, as "Bitches Ain't Shit" mysteriously played on my itunes playlist

Student Test answer: "I got to school by lezzy". Actual answer: "I got to school by ferry". Are my students closested homophobes?

"Chris, tell me how you would get rid of the leopard." Chris: "I would use a gimp." My students have been watching Pulp Fiction

That's just a taste, really the rest of my Tweets are like mind desserts from the Gods. Only about a month left here, so expect a really nice look back at lessons I have learned. Or maybe now my thoughts are really only digestable in 140 characters. Only time will tell. Also, actually writing it, I guess.
