My No Rai

Saturday work .... I went to work feeling a little blue. Sometimes I wake up and I feel alone in Korea. I live alone and I dont get many calls from my friends and I am unable to really travel much.

Work wasnt that interesting today. I punished Liam and Tom for talking. I am trying to get the classes to have more respect for me and to talk in english.
TC1 is my new favorite class. They are all respectful actually.
The TD classes are trying to get restructured and the students are dropping or not coming everyday so its hard to find rhythm.

I had one student in my last class and I felt like I was wasting my time.

After classes ended I went to lunch with my best student. This was the first time and hopefully not the last time. I enjoyed his company and unfortunately he told me he was dropping this week. My best student actually. He is always really respectful and nice.

I wish I could have done more for him but I am always focusing on how to survive the class and not help the good students more. Its always the best that leave. He told me that Kendra doesnt like me at all. I wish she had left and not him.

I really dont like some of the kids because of their rudeness and inability to try.

We had a good time together. He played some computer games at my house and we just spent the afternoon together.

After Sungjin went to his other Academy I went to Downtown to hang out with Aaron. Ended up walking all the way from my house to his hour in Dori yang. We later went to a place to eat and had pork and then later went to a Singing room.


i enjoyed the Singing room a lot i went with Aaron and his friend jamie. jamie is a good singer. I sang so much and so loud that I lost my voice and cant talk. I had a lot of fun though.

I missed my darling though a lot today. I spent a lot of time thinking about work, Korea and I am still not thinking of it in the right way. I know that things aren't the way I would like them to be. I want more than anything to find a way that would make everyone happy. There are a lot of things that are scaring me as I make my way in my travels around Gumi or Korea in general.

The road ahead is looking promising in my mind and I plan to keep it that way.


I am on a path looking to make positive changes in any way I can and after the closure of this work week I am bracing myself for another busy one and the great things that are yet to come..

Edit to come later..
