It really pisses me off that my family thinks so little of my job. Yeah, it's a crappy job. But right now it's all I've got. And I can't not have a job. It's what is keeping me going. I can't just spend all day every day looking for jobs and have that be my complete contribution to society. Yes, my job takes advantage of me. I know that. I know ( Read more... )

I know that I haven't posted in forever. There are a couple of reasons for that, the main one being it is easier to just disconnect from home when I can't be there for a long time. But I'm here now ( Read more... )

I have this one class that is called 'free talking'. We spend the first half hour talking and then for the 10-15 minutes we watch a video. For a while I showed Animaniacs (which is so awesome, I think I love more now then I did when I was a kid), but I don't know how much the kids really like it. First of all, they can't get over the 'what are the ( Read more... )

So I left off last time just as I was getting to the one that really shook me up. I was walking around the city and I ended up pretty much by my self (no one around). This was probably for 2 reasons, 1 it was raining and 2 I wasn't walking in the most touristy area (and by this I mean it was maybe a 1 mile walk from one major tourist hub to another ( Read more... )

I left off last time with the creep old guy sitting next to me and I trying to be nice. He starts talking to me more and getting closer to me so I become more disinterested but he doesn't seem to notice. Then I put my headphones on, still doesn't stop him. So at this point he is leaning in close to me to talk, and sometimes poking me. I put my ( Read more... )

I went to Taiwan for Lunar New Year (and yes, I do think of Gilmore Girls every time I say that) which is the same as Chinese New Year (I guess the Koreans just don't want to celebrate one of their oppressors holidays [as the Koreans have been ruled over by pretty much everyone for a majority of their history] and it might be something completely ( Read more... )

I like buying stuff. I don't really like spending money, but I do like buying stuff. And since I have pretty much everything I need I buy junk. Foodwise I have enough pasta, rice, cereal, candy, and snacks to last me the rest of the year. The only things I don't have a years supply on are the things I eat the most (curry and ramyeon). And I would ( Read more... )

A while ago one of the Korean aid teachers (which is worthy of distinguishing from the full Korean teachers in that the aids don't really speak much English) invited herself to my apartment for dinner. So I invited all the aids to make it a little less weird, but it kept getting pushed back for one reason or another which began to be a bit of a ( Read more... )
