so it's been a while...

been busy hittin the books, teaching classes, and drinkin it up on the weekends... i think i'm pretty well settled into life here. can't believe it's almost been 3 months since i've been here already... time flies. so i've gotten into a groove with most of my classes. finally reached a point where i can joke around with my kids and they know what's expected of them. except 1 class. actually 2. but out of the 11 i teach in one week, 2 is not bad. but they're oh-so-frustrating. i can tell them 10 times to speak in only english (not my rule, but the school's rule) and they'll still talk in korean. the class today was these middle school kids who could really give a flying fuck how much their parents spend for them to attend this school and could care even less about paying attention in class. makes my life wonderful. and then this other class i inherited from another teacher: retards. i have one bright student in that class and the rest are freakin idiots. love it. during those classes i absolutely hate my life. but other than those, i'm enjoying things...

anyway, after going out to clubs a few times, i realize that i'm either getting super old or the young buck clubs just aren't appealing to me anymore. what's worse is how koreans dance. do you guys remember 'the dip' video where they had a computer simulated person doing "the dip?" - i put my hand up on your hip when i dip you dip we dip. it's kinda like that, but an even more stiff (twss) and awkward (twss) motion. like i couldn't even imitate the total lack of any rhythm if i tried. and it's not even like they're dancing. they're jerking (twss). jerk hips left. jerk shoulders right. it's like they got off the yellow school bus and went straight to the club... but not the hyphy yellow bus. the real one. dumb. dumb. dumb. dumb. dumb. dumb. dumb.

see example below.





i've settled into somewhat of a routine. been trying to stay steady with the gym and get rid of some of the baby fat i've collected of the years (kinda like benjamin button). but yea. it's gonna take some time to get rid of all the baby weight.

how are things back home? any news?
