Reaching for new heights

To all of those who are out in Me goo Land (America: the land of the free and the home of the brave) (except for those who are hiding) I will admit it. I am spoiled and pampered like none other here in Korea. This place has its ups and downs. Working Saturdays, 6 classes a day whatever, at the end of the day its always the same. I am happy that I have a job, a wonderful Honey, and a good situation going on for me. Most of the things I have I never want to see changed.

I am on a pedestal trying to reach new heights in every way shape or form that I can. Today's lunch was so wonderful I ate it for lunch and dinner. Dinner which I am still eating right now was leftovers, and things that I also had to use quickly in my fridge. I never have had to use food so quickly before. My fridge looks like it did when I was in college. A tub of milk, some scant eggs, and a few essentials here and there but the irony is I don't have to worry about eating I always have plenty everywhere everyday all the time. I need to gain some extra weight though. Eating at Mac and everywhere hasn't helped

I talked to a couple foreigners today. One was in Mcdonalds and we talked about Korea and potential jobs. We talked about our job situations and nothing much in particular. I havent really felt like talking to Foreigners much simply because I dont have the time to hang out much. However, I am changing my view nowadays.

I am never bored that's for sure. I always have something to due.

I worked as hard as I could today. I am rewriting some summary reports and trying to put together a database so to speak before I leave in June. I am a little scared to leave on that account for reasons I probably dont need to mention right now.


I taught 4 classes and they all went well. I had
MB3: There were no major problems. I feel that they are learning as best as they can. The youngest kid has some major issues with the class and I dont see how anything will change. I feel bad for him. I wish he would lighten up and try to be friends.

TC2: I had a good class something is wrong when I say my old arch enemy Liam may ultimately be one of my best students. As much as I dont like him I couldnt allow the punishment to go today. I will punish him later if necessary. I dont want to be angry if there is no reason.

TC1: A good class. i have a full 14 class and they for the most part thought i was hilarious. I told so many good jokes and also my lesson plan was perfect. I didnt have anything to work with so I am having to wait until Saturday or next week. I will be giving a test soon in 2 weeks.

TD1: This class is horrible I feel sorry for Rose who is now the oldest student as far as English ability in the Academy. I wish she would speak more. I miss the Rose and Jully days so much. Before Revamping the Academy with Ma2 and losing Pearl and now Packing in a 6 class work day (3 times a week) with only 2 teachers and himself it has done nothing but make things more difficult. I am not liking my T classes as a result. The best one is without a doubt TC1

Singjin left I wish he had stayed i hope he and Jack come back too.

So I worked more on my Summary Reports, Did Email, and prepared for a busy day tomorrow.

I am learning how to play the O-car-ina and I can't wait until My darling and I can play. I look forward to a time when I will be on Mount Sentinel or on the Clark Fork whistling a way on some tune.

I am looking into a Private here as well real soon. I am looking forward to new prospects and expanding my horizons. I need to mentally prepare myself for the remaining days of the month as well as into next month. Some tough times are laying ahead.

At times like this I can't help but wonder what my friends back home are doing. Going downtown Missoula? Acting like Hooligans and cruising in our cars waving our shirts as we pass people. Anybody remember when we put the shirts on like a rag on our head?

Missoula wow...

I really shouldn't talk about it.
I will leave you with a couple poems and also a link to a story in missoula that I used to be apart of...
This story requires more work so I will write more after i finish some other household projects...

Robert Frost THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference






Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.


My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.


He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.


The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep.

The Japanese girl actually in the picture I used to know. Everyone back home knows that I knew most if not all of the Foreign Students. I was in charge of her for her Advocate selection process.

Good Times^^

Missoula is so wonderful ~:)
