killing time

alright, so it's wednesday again already and i've finished teaching but am still stuck at the school. i've done everything i have to for the shift but am not allowed to leave. i'm such a go- getter. so now i'm here killing time, listening to my ipod. (best investment since the laptop btw) although wednesdays means less classes for me, it's more stressful because they are 80 minutes instead of 50, and the levels of my children are so much lower. they are barely communicative.

the week has been good thus far, and has chugged along. i work, go out for a drink, watch a movie. i also have been able to talk to jen and meg on the phone in the past week so i feel re-fueled. i talked to them about signing up here for another year, and they were both very supportive, while making me feel missed. i'm still not sure what i'm going to do but it would be very difficult for me to turn down making this kind of money for another year. if it weren't for the debt i really wouldn't care.

so on sunday i got lost. actually we (marlar and i ) got lost while on a bus. they changed all of the bus numbers on sunday and we managed to find a bus that would take us in the right direction. the route was much faster than before so while checking our text messages (we are SO korean now!) we missed our stop by a couple of seconds. instead of just getting off, marla suggested (and since i have a whatever attitude about everything i agreed) that we just ride the bus until it turns around and we'll get off on the other side of the street. now how lazy is that? and we were punished for it. we kept making all of these turns, shortly we had no idea of where we were (aside from Jisan (my area) and downtown i have no clue) .. so, we ended up at the bus terminal because the new buses are NOT cyclial, and i could have gone to Seoul in the time it took me to ride that city bus and get home. i was so pissy that i didn't even go to the dvd room i was originally heading to. so basically i had a 1,300won bus tour of the city. what did i learn? that when two incredibly apathetic people get together nothing good can come of it.

alright, i'm off...
love you,
jen xo
