My journey into Korea started with an application to teach English in rural Korea under the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology. Unlike other programs that offer people the chance to teach English abroad, this program is unique in that it offers both long and short term contracts to its scholars, and as much as they want their applicants to be able to provide exposure to Korean students who often do not have such a chance to experience the English language, they also want to provide their scholars with the ability to learn and love the Korean culture through planned trips, excursions…

By now, Charlie Kratovil is a well-known figure in the New Brunswick community. His most recent attempts to bring grassroots change and “good” to New Brunswick have been gathering a lot of support, but some criticism as well. Johnsonville Press Editor in Chief Alex Giannattasio and Editor Grace Hong sat down for a conversation with Mr. Kratovil to get the inside scoop on what he’s been up to since the end of the Wards Campaign.
What follows is the full transcription of that hour and a half conversation. Do not ask …

#2 – This t-shirt: Human Being T-shirt available on origin68.com. The company is based in the UK, so if you want to buy this shirt, realize it’ll cost you more than you’d hope. That, and you’re shipping it to the US. Either way, it’s creative and awesome.

#1: This blog: Antiduckface.com – for the record, taking pictures of yourself with the same exact pose/facial expression is awkward and unnatural, the exact opposite of hot, okay? While there are perfectly acceptable occasions to make such a face… wait, no, there really aren’t, and especially not on camera.

Ever wanted to feel like a giant while eating an oreo? Did you really, really know SO many people were running from the law? Like looking at pictures of animals, particularly unique ones(my favorite has to be the albino squirrel. Precious!)? Enjoy.

I don’t understand why people get so worked up about hating the Yankees. What’s the point? Because the Yankees somehow signal the demise of “real baseball” as we know it? With their big payroll and pricey acquisitions, people seem to think that the Yankees serve as proof that money can buy you a championship, demeaning the “true beauty” of the sport. At least, that’s the rationale I can pull from between the screams of “Yankees suuuuuck!” emanating from the anti-Yankee crowd.  “How dare you ruin our national pastime!”, the haters …
