No Time!

What up peeps? The last month or so has been a whirlwind to put it mildly. Since fall semester started, we've been busy adjusting to new textbooks, students, classes, and teaching galore. Once Monday rolls around our days pretty much go like this... prep, teach, grade, repeat. Oh and Dusty's training for a marathon and I've got a 10K coming up in two weeks. And of course, we still make time for climbing sometimes. Life is good but busy, hence the lack of posts the past several weeks. Swine flu has started to spread around campus. I've already had one class cancelled because of it. The school is checking student's temperatures at the front gate. However, professors like us are just waved on through. I guess we aren't subject to this precaution even though we have contact with hundreds of students everyday. Makes a lot of sense huh? That's Korean logic for you. I'm washing my hands a ton, drinking lots of water, and taking my vitamins. That's about all I can do. The weather has been amazing. Fall here is just as beautiful as anywhere else I could possibly imagine.

Just thought I'd share the best part of my day today (other than a fabulous and much-needed nap on the couch in my office). Driving on the way home from work, we were stopped at a light at a busy intersection. There was blaring Korean techno music in the air which according to Dusty sounds like techno on crack and I agree. So we look across the street only to see a bunch of old ladies in the park partaking in some hip-hop aerobics complete with some powerful pelvic thrusts and wicked gyrating hip rolls. Yes, I did say old ladies. Like grandmas. Like old grandmas. In public. Let me tell you, it was extremely entertaining to watch while we waited for the light to turn. We both got a good laugh. Gotta love Korea.
