So what do I write about? The World Trade Centre / Pentagon bombings are miles away for the moment and mostly outside the scope of this weblog. My deepest sympathies to our southern cousins.
In my life, I visited Seoul on the weekend and had a great but short trip. I've been preparing students for drama contests but have no idea yet how they placed. My Korean Microsoft IME is not working so I can no longer add Korean text to my blog. It provides an error when I try to uninstall it and I can't reinstall it... so it looks like I am going to have to wipe my system. I need to kill Windows ME until it is dead, dead, dead. It looks like I will try and install Windows 98, 2nd Ed.
The weather getting cooler. The fall climate is great here. Students are busy preparing for school tests... and the world is going to war. We have units that provide readings and material about many, many countries in our books- but yesterday it just sort of stood out to me how many of these countries, from Japan to Puerto Rico, to Panama- have been occupied by U.S. troops. In one of my classes, we were 'listening for comprehension' to audiotapes of phone conversations. I couldn't help feeling like I was in the C.I.A.
Just a note: For users of MSN Messenger, I had a security problem last night in which I think a conversation I was having was being listened to. A third party (unknown) verbally interupted the conversation. Anyone else feel they are being eavesdropped on?
