Up and running

Hello!
My very first blog post, hmm, I have so much to say and yet don't know where to begin. I'll start at the beginning, a very good place to start.
We arrived in Soeul last Saturday evening. Exhausted and grateful to be off the cramped plane. We were met by a co-worker of Dwight's and my vice Principal's husband. They drove us back to Chungju and brought us to our apartment. Our apartment is a two bedroom, larger than what most teachers get, and is fully furnished. From some of the pictures of apartments I had seen on other teachers blogs I was hoping for a bit more modern in style, but we got space over style. Oh well, can't have it all...
We survived our first week of teaching. Dwight was teaching on day #2, I observed one of the other foreign teachers for 2 days before I was thrown before a class. The kids are great! There is such a lack of structure that I don't even know where to begin sometimes, but I'm sure in a few weeks I will be an old pro, or something like that.
Today we hiked up to Namsan mountain and say some gorgeous views of the city. I will post some pics for your viewing pleasure.
More to come, much more to come, but I wanted to get this up and running and get this first post out there.
Hope all is well.
Take care, SM
