Formerly an American teaching ESL in Korea, I've completed 3 contracts, lots of Hapkido, and wifed up in a foreign land. After moving back to N.Y w/ my wife, getting my masters and a teaching job, I'm breaking my 6 year hiatus in posting after a little bit of inspiration; the birth of my Son, Leon. I started this as a 20-something year old adventurer and am coming back as a 30-something year old teacher, currently learning the ins and outs of fatherhood. Welcome to the Cinder Block Diaries.

To my loyal readers (and non loyal ones too)


It has been a while since my last entry. I just got back to Korea last sunday (the 13th) and the next morning I dove right into my 2 week winter English camp. It's my first time making real lesson plans all by myself and teaching 4 hours worth of class a day without a co-teacher. It was a little overwhelming at first but I'm taking control it. It's running smoother now, still a little frustrating because the kids are my lowest level students and I'm teaching 3rd and 4th graders, whom i've never met before. In my free time I have been adjusting lesson plans for the lower level students and EDITING MY INDIA TRIP DVD! It was an amazing race. You can see our tuk tuk above. I am proud to say I'm finished with it and damn proud. It is late and I'm too tired to write about it tonight, but you can expect me to write about it soon. For those of you who know my poppa dukes or momma dukes i'll be sending them a DVD so if you are that interested contact them about it. For right now here are some pictures to hold you over until my next blog. I'll be done with my school's english camp this friday and then I have one more 3 day one at another school...oy. Possibly before that, but maybe after that i'll get my shit together and sit my A.D.D ass down and write something. Until then, e ta boo aye yo (see you later).
