The days are getting longer, my arms are getting sorer, and the weather is getting warmer. Rainy season starts soon I am not looking forward to that. Kumdo is going well. Today's lesson went well. I started out doing the move all wrong, but after an hour and a half, I finally started to get it right.
The students are getting on my nerves again. Interestingly enough it isn't the kindergarten students this time it is my older ones. They aren't doing there homework, they aren't bringing their books. I am not sure what to do anymore.
The days are getting mundane, and I feel my language ability has become static and far too low a level, but this comes from my inability to make time to study. I really need to relearn how to schedule things!
I got $100 gift certificate to the department store for teachers' day, and today I went with a couple of friends to spend it. The place is severely overpriced, so spend the money I did. They are trying to change my image overhere, but I am not sure it is going to work. I let them choose what I was to buy, and it wasn't too bad, but I never would have chosen it myself.
I really am not doing too much other than that. I am not eating right, I have lost a lot of weight, and I am trying to figure out what and how to cook so I can be both economical and well fed. I am not sure it is possible. I eat out just about everyday, but it is relatively inexpensive, and the way I deal with leftovers, I end up wasting anything that isn't eaten right away.
Sounds like I am complaining, but I really am not. I enjoy my life here, but, as anywhere, it has its ups and downs. It is a little tough not being able to see family and friends, even though I am experiencing things I would never experience back in the states. I am happy I am here, though I am not sure for how long.
