Not angry anymore - this post will come off as bitter, but it's really not meant to... I'm just too lazy to edit it to make it sound more positive and gracious =D

My co-worker, Katie, borrowed her boyfriend's car and I was able to hitch a ride with her (along with Lindsey and Donna) to and from our overnight Ocean World "workshop". Friday, we left our area for Ocean World at 6pm and got to the resort/water park at around 8pm. We had a weak ass dinner in a fancy restaurant, which is not even worth describing. It was pretty embarrassing walking into the fancy restaurant in our after-work teaching/beachwear outfits. It would have been nice to get some sort of schedule detailing what the heck was going on and what the heck we were doing for this workshop, but then that would have made too much sense. Oh wait, there was a schedule. It was posted on the teacher's board... IN KOREAN! Hmmm.

After dinner we all gathered around some tables outside in the courtyard and had our "workshop". The president said a thank you and enjoy yourself schpiel (in Korean), which we found out was nice when translated for us, and the vice president explained more about the Open Classes we're going to be having in 2 weeks. Open Classes are when the parents come and watch us teach. It's weird. After that we just started drinking and drinking and talking amongst ourselves. The Korean teachers and Foreign teachers were all pretty much segregated, it was a little ridiculous. It is what it is. They wanted to speak their mother tongue, which is understandable.

We then headed to the norae bang (karaoke room) in the resort, which is an obvious given to have in a resort in Korea. We danced and sang with the Koreans for a bit, then Katie, Brianne and I proceeded to our room to get some sleep, but Lindsey peer pressured us into getting our own room so that we could sing English songs. We were convinced and ended up staying out an hour longer.

Our rooms were brand new and beautiful, and the view was great as well. I'd love to stay there again with Dennis or a bunch of friends, but it probably costs a fortune.

We got up at 6am and left Ocean World soon after that. We skipped out on breakfast, which started at 7:30 because we just wanted to go home. Maggie ended up snagging the last spot in the car in the morning as we were getting ready to leave the room.

Thanks to Katie and her boyfriend's car, I was able to get home in time to watch Game 5 of the Stanley Cup. And WE WON!!! Vancouver beat Boston 1-0. So we're up 3-2 in the series. One more win and we have the cup. OH MY EFFING GOD.
