Hot Pursuits

Time goes by so fast here that there is no way to keep up with everything as its happening.

I had a wonderful day!

I got up a little late (almost 9) and immediately began taking care of the day affairs. I am going to put a little bit more work into my house. .let me explain haha


I have begun thinking of ways to improve my living place and work place. As a kid I used to wander around the house trying to fix every little thing I could. I think it would be nice to make this house more livable. Its my hope to improve each room little by little each day.

I am keeping real busy lately and maybe it has to do with how fast the day goes. In the morning its so nice to just relax and play but once lunch hour is at its peak (12 o'clock) worktime.

Work was a good day! I had 6 classes including 5 in a row but I have quit worrying about prep work so much. I have gotten my system down and am just bouncing along with the changes that are spurred upon Christina and I.
I say Christina and I because Carrie has made it blatantly obvious she is quitting at the end of the month I am happy that she is gone. She is not wanting to work and I think her negative attitude is part of the reason why work is often gloomy. When Pearl was here I looked forward to seeing her on MWF just because she was positive and it made work okay! Christina and I will be holding down the fort primarily in March. I dont know when we will get a new teacher.


I had a personal meeting with Mr. Jeong it lasted 10 minutes. I wanted to talk about my classes. I guess many kids are leaving. I also wanted to know why I get so many ridiculous comments. MY boss was in a good mood today with me so I wish I had a favor I needed from him but I didnt have anything.


A nice way to kill prep time before classes is getting coffee at the bank. Its a little sweeter and it only cost a 100 won (10 cents) Its so nice that everything is so cheap.

I have also started budgeting for food. I can eat for less than 10 dollars a day easily! I am hoping to eat healthier and also save more money.
My Darling made a wonderful meal today~ she cooked Dabooki? It is rice cake with stringy pasta. It had a nice sauce mix (marinade)

Class Report!~
MA1: moving along with phonics review
MB1: not bad but some kids are really slow too slow for the class. I know English is their second language but its hard to motivate when they arent even caring.
MC2: My favorite class on Wednesday~ the new girl is really good I wish she was my class(T Class)
MC3: problems are continuing. The class is all girls now and they just talk. One girl has been punished by Christina so many times I am surprised she is still here. She loves to talk (HOPE)

There is no hope for her:(

MD3: I made huge mistake. I got the wrong chapter. I had to review and go slower than I wanted to. They got lucky.
MD1: I am making a Textbook for them but not many appreciate or care about the work I am doing for them. I have 2 girls who dont listen to a work I say. I am starting to get more adament about punishment. I think I mis-understood the intent of punishment. If they are punished maybe they will not do it I am not sure one can only hope


I will wait and see I am trying harder though to crack down on obnoxious immature behavior. I am trying to develop a 0 Tolerance policy in my class and hopefully that will make it better.

My negociating days are over. I am sure that March is going to leave some huge impressions on some kids.

Classes whatever. .....
I am going to try to improve my overall work some more. I would like to believe that I am improving but mistakes are still being made.

We will see what happens though it should be interesting to see how the rest of the week pans out.

Other pursuits....
Happiness is the biggest one by far! I can't tell you how happy I am because of the care and loving attention from my Sweetheart. She has a million things to do but we always have a good time! I am truly a better man because of her....
I can't wait to show everyone I knew how much I have changed. I didnt think it was possible actually and I still have a lot of expansion left to do.

These pursuits of mine will become more than Dreams I can gurantee!
