Peppero Day....What, This Nonsense Again?

It's kind of weird that I have like 4 months of employment in Goyang-dong left, but already it feels like I'm winding down there. That doesn't really bode well for me. Yesterday my American boss (the one who is leaving, and not the one I told I was going to stop working) and I had lunch. During lunch she said, "So you want to go to school?" I replied that I did, and working in Goyang, with the current schedule wouldn't let me do so. She then asked if I were to have a more part time schedule would I be willing to stay (which I would). She also added that her daughter's kindergarten was looking for an English teacher to start around the time my contract would be up. That job sounds pretty sweet. From 9 to 12 Monday through Friday. Those hours are ideal for going to school and having free time with which to do more random crap while here.
Today is Peppero Day (the second of this fake holiday I've spent here), so that means I'll probably end up with an assload of the stuff. Let's put it this way, I ate Peppero from last Peppero Day in May of this year. This time around I have a girlfriend, so perhaps some of my students will give me high enough quality Peppero to bestow upon U-rim...
Anyway, in order to really celebrate Peppero Day, U-rim and I are going to meet one of her friends. I've never met this person before, but her hobby is making event costumes like this...so I have to study some really weird phrases and vocabulary before I meet her. Happy Peppero Day people!
