Orientation day #2: Just a buncha business...

This morning started out with a rather emotional devotional by our new headmaster- something new and different at a job-- Christian devotions!! We had some ice breakers, I had like 5 mini-cups of coffee b.c. I DEF did not want to wake up this am, and then we went over the nitty gritty business type stuff....

I got my Local Korean bank acct., set up my pension plan (which, BTW!!, they contribute 13% to IN ADDITION to my salary! nice!).. We also went over IT stuff. blah blah blah. nothing too exciting- well, except for me b.c. it involves the $$ I'm gonna get :)

We went on a 2 hr tour of the school @ 3pm!! Now...

#1. It was a great tour and really nice and all, but...

#2. WHY oh WHY was it @ 3pm on an EXTREMELY hot day in Seoul??? AND,

#3. WHY oh WHY don't these ppl believe in AC?!?! AND,

#4. WHY oh WHY doesn't this school have elevators in 4 story building?!?!

lol. It wasn't all too bad, but #s 1-4 def. posed an issue.

Also- this school campus is ridiculous... It's state of the art, I mean, it's just got it going on. (with the exception to issue #s 1-4, of course!)

I saw the pool which was pretty neat- it's not as big as I'd pictured but still really nice. There are locker rooms, a nice office for us Aquatics ppl, a 2nd story observance area (kinda like @ FSU-for those of my cool readers who've been there!)

I look forward to getting to know my way around the place soon...

Tonight we had dinner at the headmasters house which is NICE NICE NICE!

The board members were there so I met a few of the ppl who essentially gave me my job.

I've also been getting the feeling that ppl have been waiting with dire anticipation for me... every time I tell someone "I'm the new aquatics instructor" they go "OHHHH!!!! That's SOOOO great!!! We've been looking forward to you coming!" so.. I hope I can fill the imaginary shoes that have been created in my stead.

Tomorrow I get to go shopping for household goods!! Wahoo!! then my house can start looking like a house and it'll be nice. :)
