1) The kenari, harbingers of spring here on the peninsula, finally bloomed this year nearly three weeks later than in 2009. Spring has been mild, to say the least, but it looks like we've turned to corner on warmer weather.
You couldn't call it hot, but there is a definite warming trend, and very nice weather for sitting at a sidewalk table and enjoying some chicken and beer of an evening.
2) Prosecutors are investigating a match-rigging scheme in the soccer K-League involving brokers in Changwon and unnamed players in teams participating in the Rush and Cash Cup--mostly "relatively low-paid players on the second string", according to a Korea Herald account.
3) Just Monday, I asked my new "handler" if he had heard anything about my contract renewal process; he hadn't. Today, I got the first piece of paperwork in the process, titled "End of Term Report", which sounded ominous until I saw the first question was about my intention to renew: yes or no?
For the record, and for the time being, the answer is yes.
4) It's week one of a two-week lesson on Aesop's fables in first grade, wherein each team is given a fable to dramatize in front of class next week. This week, they have to read and simplify the story and then write a basic script. Their command of "simplify" and "write a script" seems a bit tenuous this year compared to last, but stay tuned for some photos and perhaps a video...
5) There is no number 5.
6) The Rapture happened this weekend, and it seems I got left behind. If you are reading this, you did, too.

Let me know how that simplify and perform the next week thing goes. I'm havibg a hell of a time with my students remembering to bring their homework to class.
This is completely unrelated, but were you in Itaewon station at around 11 pm last Saturday? I was pretty sure that I saw you, but you were at the bottom of the stairs and I wasn't confident enough to yell.
