I recently moved to Gyeongju to teach, and tried searching to see if I could find former teachers from my school...that is when I came across your blog! All I had to do was search Gyeongju, and my current bosses name: CATE! English World is no longer the school...but in the same building, the school is called Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. Cate is still the director here. <br />I am actually with one of my current, and your former, students now, Rachel. She is now a middle school student, about to go to high school. She is amazingly smart!<br />If you want to you can e-mail me: detekk18@uwgb.edu so you can try to get in contact with Cate. I can give you her current phone number!<br />Best wishes in Korea. I hope you are able to read this message before you leave :)<br /><br />-KaylaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447277309694567336.post-64408578952433695942011-12-30T10:38:52.065+08:002011-12-30T10:38:52.065+08:00I'm more like his semi-sane cousin.

This almost always garners me a few odd looks, but do i care? I'm in my physical happy place. Mind your own business!<br />I just love the smell of old books.

That was hilarious. You like <br />Chesterton and McDonald? Or are you just checking them out? Are you also a C.S. Lewis fan? Also love the title of your blog and was wondering how you decided upon it? And Erasmus' quote you used is one of my very favorites.

Many drugs work against contraceptives such as the pill and render it ineffective while taking a particular drug. So, they may have meant that if someone was on a chemical birth control method such as a pill, to be careful while on this particular drug as it may be rendered useless. This is definitely the case with antibiotics, as well as others. But yes, funny how they worded that :) Usually the side effects are pre-written and attached to the particular drug in the database, so someone in the pharmacy has obviously not changed the funny way in which it is presented. Good laugh though :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028121051192453979noreply@blogger.com
