Today was an interesting day to start. I awoke at 6:00am as I seem to be doing a lot lately, but I didn't get out of bed until 8:30am. When I arrived at work most of the teachers were already there (something that never happens). The head foreign teacher had prepared Easter eggs filled with candy for us to find. She also provided us all with one of those 1/2 pound solid chocolate bunnies. How is that for a way to start a Monday? Easter egg hunts at work I almost felt like I was back in Hancock again :)
After that it was mostly more of the same. I did have some sudden flashes of inspiration, though I can't reveal those at the moment. If I do, nothing will ever come of it. I gave my cell number to my 6pm students. Hopefully they won't be too careless about calling it, but who can tell.
I don't know if I said this before (I am pretty sure I did), but if I did it was during a time when I felt it a bitter pill to swallow. Actually it came up in class today, so it refreshed my memory of it. In Korean, 'to be bitter' and 'to write' are the same word. I wonder how this effects the minds of Koreans. Do they find writting a fairly bitter thing? It is probably the same as other places, but it would be interesting to do a survey and find if there is any corresponding difference in the percentage of people who do look at writting as a bitter thing.
Okay, so I have gotten myself into thinking of nonsense again, but I think that is mostly what one has to do nowadays. If it weren't for nonsense, I wouldn't be in Korea, and I wouldn't be meeting with random people and wanting to be able to make some sort of impact on lives of people I have only met once, or may never meet.
