st-ahh. (that's my best cyber interpretation of the noise.) Thanks Frank. :-) It's nice to be reminded of that me. If had to be a mean administrator all day-not very palliative. Sometimes I forget who that IUP me even is..... -----Original Message----- From: frank concilus [mailto:fconcilu@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 5:20 PM To: comptesol@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Hi from Seoul Hi Guys Sorry I've been so silent. We're having great fall weather here, but I'm teaching 33 hours a week and have an additional online class starting soon. Luckily, only four of the hours are comp classes, but I've added an online component to the two comp classes, which is taking a bit of time. At the University of Maryland (on the US bases) I'm teaching shamanism and intro to sociology. At my Korean university my classes include speech, conversation (4 of them), comp, and grad school classes in Culture in the Classroom (TESOL) and Culture and Religion in North America (Regional Studies). Anyone want to exchange schedules? Not surprisingly, I'm not reading as much for my dissertation as I should! This coming weekend there's a KOTESOL (Korean TESOL) international conference here in Seoul and a couple weeks after that I'm going to an Asian Studies workshop in Tokyo at Maryland's expense. A good month... I miss Indiana and you guys. My GI students say "fuck" a lot and the Korean women students whine in unison when I assign too much homework, but no one makes cute little sounds like Kathy made in our Qualitative class. Guess you can't have everything! Warm regards/ Frank Frank W. Concilus Cell phone# 011-706-8479 (From US: 8211-706-8479) --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
