The Daily Dose, Vol. 3
Not much got done today, really. I slept in very late since I was up far, far too late last night, and got up at about 2:00 because Jimmy, Chris and I were gonna go to Pyeongnae and try this Mexican restaurant Jimmy had seen. Unfortunately, as it turned out, the Mexican restaurant was actually a regular old chicken place, or it was as far as we could tell. It was difficult to figure out, since the menu was all in Korean and there were no pictures. We briefly entertained hopes that it might still be Mexican food, but after deciphering a few of the dishes' names, it became clear that it was just Korean food that we didn't know what it was, since none of us could really imagine that they would call a burrito anything other than 버리토(that's "burrito" in hangul characters, btw). So that was a damn shame. But we went to the delicious pork soup place near Chungdahm instead, and it was cheap and delicious.
After that, I went into work for a little while to print all my stuff for next week's classes, although I didn't make the copies, since I don't want to have to do any more work than necessary Monday morning -- I have to go in early enough as it is and teach for nine hours; I have no desire to be there any earlier than I need to.
Apart from that, today was a really lazy day. Played a lot of computer games, and that's about it. I wish I could say I worked on my writing, or organizing my apartment, or touristy things in Seoul, but those would all just be lies. I'm also realizing that this coming week is Week 10 of my THIRD fucking term in Korea! What the hell have I been doing all this time?!? I only have four more weeks of this term, then twelve weeks of the next before I go back home! Sixteen short weeks, unless I re-up for another term or something, but right now I'm not sure that's really something I want to do. Still, it seems like it's coming far, far too quickly, and I'm not sure I'm going to be ready to leave. We'll see, I suppose, but I'm beginning to feel like I'd better make my mind up fairly quickly. Lovely, something else to worry about.
Not that I worry about much, really, but still, it feels to me as if I've frittered my time here away without really using it as best I could, and I'm not pleased with that. What am I going to do about it, you ask? Well, for one thing I'm going to hope like crazy I get Wednesdays off next semester so that I can go do things then. But more importantly and far more actively, i'm going to go do something in Seoul tomorrow, see something I've yet to see. What it might be, I don't really know, and it may very well greatly depend upon the weather. But I'm gonna be doing SOMETHING, that's for damn sure.
Which means you all will have a much more interesting entry to look forward to tomorrow...
