Time to Kill

The clouds are rolling back in and I really don't want it to rain again. The sun is just so relaxing. Following an exceptionally crappy weekend is a very slow week. I have this ridiculous teacher- parent potluck Friday morning. I have to prepare a lesson and create materials for a half hour class. My director is being unreasonable about every aspect of this. I have had to practice 3 times with my classes while the kids fall behind on their regular books and I have had to change my materials twice. I don't have time or patience for her. Ugh. Oh and she wants me to stay late AGAIN today to show her... I don't need to practice. English is the only language I know!

I stayed up too late last night catching insomnia from Busta... lol. I know it isn't really contagious but I like to think I have someone to blame for being tired right now. Tired and checking out the new fish tank- or aquarium, tried explaining to my co teacher that a fish tank was small and an aquarium is big. She just looked at the fish and snails inside and said they looked delicious. Hahaha. Korea. I think I've failed to mention that in front of many restaurants that serve fish there are tanks lining the front of the place. I don't know what any of the fish are called but I am sure they don't hang around in their tanks for long. There are even trucks that come with fresh salt water to replace the old water in the tanks. The pet store came to our school and set up the tank lol... only here I guess.

Still no health insurance. In my tired grumpy state it is agitating me more than it should. I should have skipped the gym and just slept in today. I got paid which was good.. going to send it back to Canada where it is safe and sound. North Korea isn't happy about us laying it into them. I am just happy I'm in Gwangju and not Soul... although a trip to the DMZ would be pretty gutsy and adrenaline filled right about now. Just kidding I am not going to go.

Man if a war actually does break out and I have to go home I will be so pissed. For now I am just following the Korean suit. This has been happening forever, nothing will come of it so just go on with life. I can handle that no problem!

I have to make sure that all my students have tons of materials today so I don't have to do a lot of shouting.

It's 1:30 kids should be arriving any second. I need a nap!!

Maybe I'll write about a human rights issue next time... I'll research a topic and get on it. There are a ton of orphans here...

Peace, Love and Harmony
