Because I Feel Like It

After school today, I walked home. Then I ran down the Tancheon River...while it was raining. Then I did a load of laundry. Then I made dinner. I just ate dinner and am now watching Friends. Meanwhile there's an activity book, my planner, and a list of things I need to prepare for next week. But I don't wanna! So I'm randomly blogging.

I got the sweetest Facebook message from a good friend today. It really made my day! I love my friends. They are better than yours. :)

Lunch was excellent again (whew!). And I'm getting miraculously better at chop sticks.

I had to give up my passport again today while I wait for my Alien Registration Card. AND it turned out that I had the wrong visa, so I had to pay 50,000 won for them to add a 1 next to the M. Is a 1 really that vital?

I'm so boy crazy right now. But there are no cute boys in sight...that I can have more than a 2 sentence conversation with...or one with a name I can pronounce without him laughing at me. I could really use a hot Texan right about now. Or a hot Korean who can speak English. Really just a hot male. mmmmm that looks like hot tamale.

I want tamales.

I had three really good classes today, and my first bad one. I shouldn't say bad...the ones who don't want to learn English. It was brutal. And boring. I hate text books. One of my students told me her aunt lives in...wait for it...Dallas! She is now my favorite student.

I was on TV today. Ok, it was on the Imae Middle School local station. Although I think its only played on the 1st 3 floors. Still, I felt like Katie Couric.

I am now booked for Saturday. First, I'm having lunch and shopping with two of my awesome co teachers. Then at night I'm going to Seoul for the GEPIK welcoming party. Luckily, a Korean teacher from the Facebook event group is going to meet me at a nearby subway station and we are taking a bus to get there. It should be a lot quicker, and maybe I can get over my fear of city buses. Maybe?

On Sunday I am going to Songsook's apartment for dinner. I'm pretty excited about getting to see how a real Korean family lives. Her sons speak English fairly well too, so maybe I can get some "cool teacher" tips from them.

OK, after this Friends episode I WILL start working on stuff. Unless this lavender tea works.
