Well today was the day i finally sent out some packages. I threw an extra free pair in with each of the boxes, to say thanks for being my first customers. I also found some amazingly cute (and affordable) greetings cards that i wrote little personal messages in. I'm not saying i'll be able to do that when i'm sending 10 or more out per day, but for now it's a good way to express gratitude. One of the perks of buying from a small shop. I'll try and have some pictures tomorrow. But sending out the packages wasn't too bad at all.
In other news, the other day i got a message on one of those chat apps by the most fascinating girl (who is also one of the most stunningly beautiful girls i've ever seen in my life) and though we haven't met yet and i don't know what will happen, i still feel so so lucky that she's come along and brightened my evenings. It's seriously hampering my progress promoting the site - but you know. whatever!
(This is one of the cutest Korean girls i found on the first page of a google search - and the girl who messaged me is much cuter).
I should probably mention before my next story that I'm an English teacher at a small private school/academy in S. Korea. It's usually a good job, but today i was told with 2 minutes to go before class that for the whole of this week, we would be teaching the English book from their schools. This might have been ok if 1) the books had any English at all in them (besides 'look and listen' or 'play and speak') that I could teach them, or 2) if i didn't have mixed grade classes, or 3) if any kids had actually bothered to bring their books in to school. Not a big problem for me as i do about 10% planning, 90% adlibbing in my classes. I usually have as much idea as the kids what we'll be doing 10 minutes from now, but it's the only way i can spend maximum time in my head, thinking about bigger things. I believe Einstein had the same problem working at the patent office when he had the secrets of the universe to unlock.
Finally - the sock i promised to reveal in the last blog post. If Mario were a monkey, he might look something like this:
What do you think? One of the best socks ever? Leave a message on the facebook group and let me know what you think. www.facebook.com/SuperOddSocks
