"When in doubt, do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." – Mark Twain (frequently quoted by Harry Truman).
After work this morning I went grocery shopping. I bought some celery, carrots and purple cabbage and ended up making a really delicious coleslaw for myself – I still have no idea why it is I sometimes get cravings for coleslaw. I tend to "invent" my own coleslaw recipe each time I get these cravings – I never follow a recipe of any kind. Starting with the cabbage, carrot and celery, I added some chopped apple, some "craisins" (dried cranberries), some chopped almonds I had lying around. I used yoghurt as the liquid element and some spices (nutmeg, mint-leaf, pepper), and it turned out very deliciously.
I still have no signed renewal contract. We're waiting on some paperwork, but we're going to end up cutting a fine line as far as my current visa's expiration date (2 more weeks left on it) – that always makes me nervous. But Korea is the land-of-the-last-minute-bureaucracy. Hopefully, all will work out fine. I've felt like my teaching is going well, lately, I've had some great classes with the middle-schoolers – it's odd how when I started at Karma, I felt like I was sacrificing a great deal by teaching the middle-schoolers as well as the elementary-age students, but over this last year I've grown to really enjoy the older kids as well – they're advanced enough (well, some of them) where conversations are actually possible, but young enough to still be at least mildly curious about the world around them.
