Shy Em


I'm a Boston-based writer. For a while, this was mostly about my life in South Korea. Then I forgot to post for a long time. Now I'm back.

for your ears

what this has basically become

is the occasional song and a few stories about 8 year old boys (awkward). I don’t have the energy for anything else.

seriously, yesterday we started a unit on food&drinks and Jacob’s first thought was “mmm, Soju!”. Soju is a strong korean liquor.

he then pantomimed drinking, started rolling his eyes and making an “I’m really drunk” type of face, then stood up and took wobbly steps around the classroom before collapsing on the floor with some faux snores. i’m guessing his father hits the soju a little too hard on a regular basis.

this is the same kid who eats his poop in class.
