So I was thinking I would catch everything up and then start writing all the things that happen to me in day to day life. But then I find myself caught up living it and not having the motivation to write about what's happening to me. My life goes through the interactions, feelings and thoughts. but my mind is on other matters: Language, love, future, etc. At any rate, now I'm thinking about getting around the city. I'm thinking about getting a scooter motorcycle. I can get a used one for about 500 bucks. My friends tell me it's very dangerous. There are alot of motorcycle deaths here. The driving is very crazy and traffic rules aren't really enforced. sometimes people drive through red lights, etc. they do have blocks on random spots some nights and they breathalize every driver who passes. but normal driving isn't very controlled. on the other hand, scooters drive on sidewalks. and there are quite a few small streets that cars can't fit. This is the bike i'm most likely to get right now if i can get my korean licence before it's sold (it's a used bike).

I'm up and down about my job. Some of the classes are crappy and the kids are obnoxious and spoiled. Some of the students (especially the older ones with little english skills) don't want to learn english and are annoying. And the school is really unorganized. For example, I'm supposed to prepare some tests from some of the books. And instead of having a list for the books and pages to prepare, I have to look through the syllabi of all the classes and find out the pages. The tests are due tomorrow and just tonight, by double checking, I found out i have to prepare 2 "comprehension" tests, which i was told i had to prepare one. I was kinda pissed. But so it goes. I can stand it. I have a new coworker too. He's from england although he grew up in australia. but his parents are scottish. And he's married to a girl who's turkish. talk about a mixture of european countries. They dont know much about korea so I'm trying to show them what I know. I don't want to sound like a know-it-all but I also like the theory that the one who learns the most is the teacher. If I teach what I know I will verbalize it and reteach it to myself and grow my knowledge. It's like seeing a movie a second time.
On the girl front, things fell through with that bartender. She's busy with school and our language barrier was too high. I want to learn korean and she kinda wants to learn english, but with her school work it was tough to have a meaningful relationship. and human emotions/relationships are ona different speed than communication. At any rate, I'm enjoying learning the language and not too worried about meeting anyone right now. Just getting more friends and learning the area and language. Eh. Nothing really interesting to write, just thought I would update with something.
