Zippity Do Da

It was a wonderful day. A little Topsy Turvy in the beginning but nothing I couldn't overcome. I at times am still feeling mood swings that I need to keep in better check. I will talk about that later.

Morning I had a nice Galbei lunch cooked by Christina. She makes wonderful food and I think I am the best Food Taster of her delicious Samples. I can't get enough of them. I am just happy to share good food together and it always feels so right together.


DAY SEGEMENTS

Everyday is the same when it comes to work time. I have my time before the kids get there which is usually spent talking or writing brisk lesson plans. In my opinion, the lesson plans are best if they are scant simply due to the maltreatment and lack of interest involved with the students.
You never know who will not show up and why. They are coming and going faster than you can say "Zippity do Da. I think this roughly translates into Su Tong.

I am trying my hand at Korean but its a slow process.
FINDING PECULAIRITIES@YALE

More Peculiarities just because I can't seem to stop lately noticing the odd scenes that are unbecoming of a school and leave me feeling unnerved. We are starting to supply ourselves with our own markers. I see Vicki doing the same things that I did when I first arrived and unfortunately I just hope we can find a way to make this place better. She gave Christina and I a marker for class. Its new and it will work for hopefully a week but the markers that I use behind the counter are all dried up and already used. I can't believe he can't invest into some proper equipment.

A copy machine that doesnt print successfully, a computer that constantly freezes and is no where close to being your run of the mill station. I don't need state of the art but I need something that would be reliable.

Today he was yelling at the secretary for this or that. I was asking her a question in the mist of his tirade and I could see the look of panic and desperation on her face. His condescending cavalier attitude would get him into hot water if it were with me but his domineering mentality does nothing to her. For the record, yes he does hit her on occasion, it has happened at least 3 times. Maltreatment would make me quit but like I said for her, I think the best part of her day is checking the "bad" kids homework. I say bad kids because they are the ones that stay longer and have to finish their homework. Miss Jeong always is so kind to them.


Another one, Today he gave us Fresh milk, and some sandwiches for a late night snack. He bought us these and gave them to us as a reward for our hard work. I told the joke about the Trojan Horse and Beware of Greeks bringing Gifts...sometimes I wonder if he is part Greek because everytime he gives us a gift of some sort its because he feels bad about something. I think there will be hell to pay soon. I think its because of holiday and that means no work. He hates it when there is a break. Anyways, he bought this for us and apparently he asked us if we wouldn't mind if he had some of his snack because he was hungry. "Why didn't he just buy something for him?
Its weird.



I went to dinner with Christina at a Galbei place again. It was so good and its always so nice sharing Korean style food with her.


I LOVE KOREA a lot actually. I don't like that people stare at me like: How can you be here or what is your purpose? I don't like the domineering condescending attitude and the way people make me feel like a peon but its just out of ignorance and lack of understanding. I have people speaking Konglish to me all the time in hopes to hear their voices and hope that they can impress their friends by saying: What's your name? Where are you from? Pure Hollywood style if you ask me.

So, I am sitting here its almost 11 o'clock I have to clean up my house and prepare for a busy week a head. Its MAY!!!!!


April Showers Bring MAY FLOWERS!!! I think last night shower's are promising for a blooming of Flowers to come. I am happier now and know that we really are special. My Adoration is constant.
