Coming of the Cattle

Today is one of my best days in the week. I have ample rest time and am able to get extra work done. If everyday was like this it would be good! I think its necessary to have 2 breaks every day.

Today I went to the bookstore and bought myself a new book. At the rate I read nowadays I will undoubtably have this book finished by Sunday and will have to make another sojourn to the Bookstore
WHERE ARE YOU GOING!

I ate lunch at the Lunchbox and looked to the day of teaching with anticipation.
i had my usual Chicken and ate it in my house since I was locked out of work.

MA2: Chris is going to get me in trouble he always hits his brother and they dont listen to me at all. There is nothing I can do. HONESTLY. I say be quiet or say it in Korean and now the kids just copy me. More homework isn't going to do the trick. I have to get Mr. Jeong but he has enough on his plate and I hestitate because I am going to give him some bad news later and he has a "situation" on his hands.

Today I saw him with someone that may be a parent or may be the new candidate for a teacher. I hope the latter.

MB2: They didnt learn from my punishment so another round of punishment. I gave them 4 times the amount of homework and I will do it again on Thursday. Cattle being herded out the doors each day. i dont think they learned a thing.

TC2: nothing noteworthy.
TD2: Hwajin will not be here in March. I am anxious actually about March Teaching.
tD1: Absolutely nothing. They have no interest at all. None of my kids think I am interesting anymore.


I showed Larry my "go to London Socks" I want to move there someday.

During my break time I could sense the coming of the cattle. There were a few kids taking a test inside Mr. Jeongs office and there were many more parents than usual coming. Next March will be busy. There will be more kids and a change of classes. I really hope my schedule becomes better. I will have to get used to a new teacher/new kids/etc.


I am looking forward to it.
Carrie was a nervous wreck today. She is scared of Mr. Jeong. I dont understand why. I dont understand the Korean obligation to work more after you have decided to quit. After an appropriate 2 weeks it should be ok to quit. Especially when you have found a new job.


There are days like yesterday when I really wouldn't care if I were to quit. Its not always the best. But I think that this is the same everywhere.

Since reading the Secret I have felt that its more important to focus on the positives. Yesterday, was a mistake in many ways. I shouldn't complain as much as I do. I have found that when I complain everything becomes twisted into something more than what it is. Today~ there were some problems of course but I am just Thankful that I have such a great situation.


Mr. Jeongs trouble has to do with Carrie's Departure. It will mean more work for him, Christina and a little more for myself. i will have to teach more classes everyday until he can find a new teacher. I feel bad for Mr. Jeong because he is missing the boat big time. March may end up hurting him instead of being promising.

I really hope he has found a new teacher soon. I heard there is a chance that Carrie will not show up tomorrow.It will remain to be seen.

Things are still pretty busy. I am reading new books, researching for some jobs/personal projects and exploring Korea.

Today I went back to the Orange tent and observed the late night scene in Korea. These tents are just for a quick bite when on one's way home. I ate a lot of food for my main course. As I said keeping busy. Tomorrow I may go downtown I am not really sure yet.

Tomorrow morning as always seems to be promising!
I love the mornings before work, not because I am not at work but rather because of the mystery and calmness surrounding.
