Make ya speaks a good Englisher; unicorns

oh my fucking god. i had my first class today and i didn't think it would be that difficult to do since i sat in & participated in a real class earlier in the day, but--like this doesn't routinely happen--i was WRONG. i didn't know they expected me to just start teaching, getting all the kids together and stuff...it was overwhelming because i was so unprepared...(that fault is all mine). most of those kids, especially the third and fourth graders i had today, were a rowdy bunch who wouldn't listen to me. they really kinda pissed me off. ending my rather horrid day at work was receiving a phone call from a certain somebody i've been meaning to contact and was going to today--it was just so fucking weird that he sorta read my mind/was thinking the same thing, all psychic about it, and i got a ring from him in one of the more awkward locations (ie: in the backseat of a teacher's car while he was giving me a ride home). luckily only one other person was adept in english and didn't know who i was talking to so (and could prolly understand my predicament) he didn't really care. the uncomfortableness got kicked up a notch when i had to have a little looksee at that other english teacher's house. very, very strange because i was still, rudely i speculate, on the phone with that guy.

looking forward to teaching tomorrow? um...at least this time i have an idea in mind.

YO WHERE MY Money, bitch?
"₩ or $"

ohhhhhhhhm, disscussion! we met some korean scholars today, they are from jinju and some would be our helpers when teaching. i originally had one, but got another when we got to the millennium park place. hmmm, i got the same vibes as when i went to that castle with the weird mannequins staged like the 1800s or something...the one where i got my picture taken with a taxidermed, enraged bear. it was ok. it was nicer going to the temple, which seemed oddly familiar especially since i used to have postcards from my last trip to korea with this place on it. so nice that my scholars bought me 경주빵. it was good. went to a museum as the last real place of interest. i was worn out by then and given the fact we had two hours to explore the place...hmm. later this evening i went out for drinking and....i ended up being the only girl. i don't understand or know why this happened. at ALL. i had a good time, though. one awkward restroom experience. hmm. not blackout-worthy, but good tipsiness. looking forward to more in the future.
