Yeah, so I tried to call that Korean family of the girl who's at the sbts.  It went horendously.  Really really badly.  It's so frustrating not being able to communicate.  After about three or four minutes of non-communication I just hung up the phone and cried.  Eh, I hadn't cried in a while so I let myself.  I felt so stupid just then.  Like a ( Read more... )

So, what's happened?
One of my students, we'll call him Shea is finally smiling and participating in class.  I'm jazzed.
I had my third Korean lesson.
I had a good meeting with my co-teacher.  I made her laugh.  She reminds me a bit of an outgoing version of my mother.  I think things have been better since the E mediated meetin betwen her and I.
I ( Read more... )

So, today was kind of a bummer.  I didn't have a lot of energy to offer my students.  Turns out I was so busy lately I didn't get any of the cards sent for Christmas so they'll all be late, and I didn't decorate, and all my Christmas clothes are in the States and none of the Christmas clothes here fit me and I don't feel like wearing a stupid cheep ( Read more... )

I feel like it's been some time since I posted regularly, and I've certainly lost count of the days since I arrived.  So much has happened and so much is happening, both externally and internally, that it's hard to process and put into words.  No, that's not true, I'm quite good at putting things into words, it's just that these things need an ( Read more... )

Well, I slept in, frankly I'd worked my a** off the day before and I was actually sleeping without nightmares so I figured I'd prolong it.  Nightmares and/or somewhat bothersome dreams are becoming commonplace again.  At least I'm sleeping through the night.  How ironic is it that I don't mind nightmares as long as I don't wake up ten times during ( Read more... )

Well, I finally finished reading Romans.  Man!  That took me like 9 months to get through, what, 16 chapters. pfft ( Read more... )

Had a meeting with my Korean co-teacher on Friday.  I think that went over as decently as any kind of confrontational thing can when people who want to avoid confrontation are involved.  I was informed by L that I may have opened up the lines of communication between other teacher pairs so that is definately a nice side benefit.  But,  it also ( Read more... )

Yeah, as mentioned above I'm posting now (and what is it lately that I've only been posting every day or ....four, instead of three times a day like six months ago?) because the internet is down.  Of course, who knows, if it wasn't down I might not post at all ( Read more... )

Would you like to know what I did today and yesterday?  Yeah?  good ( Read more... )
