Today I feel like I might have past a small milestone. I had fun teaching. If you'd read my last two posts the general themes have been dark and prophetic, more than insinuating my demise both in terms of steady employment and physiological stability. However, the ease at which I did my job (at least during the first part of the day) has lifted my spirits and granted me the emotional leisure to predict a positive forecast. The younger children are becoming easier to handle, partly due to my burgeoning comprehension of their textbooks, and while the older students are obstinate, I feel with time, I will be able to command their attention. Granted, I have a long way to go and hours of review ahead of me, but my vision is clearing. Being able to see is good.
I haven't yet been able to start learning Korean or travel much. Learning Korean has had to take a back seat due to two reasons. Firstly, I have been too freaked out to focus on anything until now. And secondly, my computer (a necessary component to the Korean course work I bought) blew out the fuse box and I can't plug it in to recharge. My roommate had to boil water on the stove and take a cold shower this morning. She wasn't happy about that. And I haven't traveled for the obvious reason that this is only my forth day here and haven't had the time.
(My battery is about to die)
oh, for those of you that have been wondering whether I would have a terrible bout of the ten/sevens in my first week rest assured that I barely got three hours of uninterrupted sleep last evening. I was running to the washroom constantly all night. Very gross. And spicy food makes it that much grosser. blech. Due to my circumstances, I ate only four pieces of white bread all day. Very filling.
