Finding my Way and Looking at my better half

















I am quite busy these days trying to find improvement in my work, life and future...
Lots of things are needing to be done in the next couple of months and I am not quite
On top of things as much as I would like to be. Today I went to the bookstore I got a
Very good book or two actually. I want to read more and expand my mind. I also sound
Educated when I have been reading. After I went to the bookstore I met Christina and
Yoddled for awhile. We played the Ocarina. She is very good and I love the sound of
Ocarina very much escpicially when she is playing it. Sitting on a bench in the park
Under the Sun was really inviting and other than going to work or because of the
Stinging sun it was a very pleasant feeling and afternoon.
Out of all the places in Korea to be I think that park will always have a special
Memory in my heart. Its a good quiet place and sometimes you can feel Isolated and
Unknown in the swarm of people that are constantly around. After playing the Ocarina Christina and I went to a Kim bob place to have lunch and also talk about my future Hopeful job opportunity.
More than the Sun Moon and the Stars....** this Time i spend in the morning before Work felt so good and I always have nothing but happiness in my heart before the wave of chaos follows


Work was nothing special today. I taught 6 classes and frankly I hope for a schedule change soon. I can wait until April but its ridiculous whats happening right now.
My boss is so weird. He leaves me notes about marking the progress reports but he actually made a mistake and did it on his day not mine. He forgot to fill it out and naturally assumed it was me.
I had 6 classes.
I think MB1 is getting a little better actually.
I also taught MA1: The girl may drop which is unfortunate she is so nice. I hope that she doesnt because the class wasn't very good today.
I wasn't to impressed today with the class. They were slower than they usually are.

I taught MC2 and MC3: Nothing really happened here either.

MD2 and MD3: I was angry because both classes killed my mood. I was happy and then I got angry because the kids dont know how to show respect. It was so bad that I couldnt do anything other than just wait for class to end.

I was also going to Give Molly extra homework because the entire class didnt listen to me. She and Beth were the only 2 who answered questions and the rest of the time my voice was nothing more than an echo in the noise of the endless ranting of Korean that will not be stopped.

I used to go home and feel angry because of this because I didnt understand why students will not listen to me and just pretend like I am not even there. I dont care anymore because nothing I do will change it. Even complaining which is the last resort. Complaining just invited more complaining in my experience that I have seen here.


Miss Jeong asked me another question today I am having to count on two fingers and maybe one foot now how much times we talk. It bothers me to see her scurry in the office just waiting for us to arrive so she can gossip and or give information about work that sometimes I feel she could do. I have strong opinions but since I am kept in the dark and either blamed for something or expected for something I have my opinions.
Mr. Jeong yelled at me for Flashcards of all things and even though I had made a set he wasn't satisfied and so Miss Jeong is putting it together but unfortunately she hasnt given me them so I had to borrow for my class regardless.

I wish she could tell me what was going on sometimes its important.

She asked me a question after work that was none of her business and it bothers me that she can't stand up for herself so her way is to make people feel bad with what little power she can have. I am going to be happy to leave the Jeongs in 3 months regardless of where i go.

After work I ate leftovers again and spent some time cleaning up and relaxing.


I am so happy that I spent a good morning with my Darling~ I am looking forward to more exciting things in Korea as the time continues to roll.
Tomorrow a quick 4 classes from 1 until 5:30 should be quite a thrill. Most kids dont come on Saturday.

more on this later. I am going to eat some more yogurt so I can hopefully gain 10 pounds by the end of this month.
I doubt it but there is always a hope and a prayer. I have a lot of prayers right now...
