getting the hang of it?

is it even possible to say such a thing? i dont really think so because there will always be something i dont know and the language will never end. so in some ways i will never be bored. but i am just so excited because today i didn't have to bring any school books home or anything like that to do. wow! i didn't know it was possible. haha, maybe i am getting the hang of this teaching stuff! i mean my lesson plans for this week are already typed up! whoa! i mean i guess teachers prepare their lesson plans ahead, i kind of preferred to type them up after the fact so i knew whether it was a good idea ornot and then i could share it with other people. but i dont think that is how this works. :)

so since i seem to kind of have some free time on my hands. i mean it is only 7pm im contemplating reading, or sleeping, or studying or just looking up stuff on the internet. hmm, so my observations. the things that keep reoccuring:

-there seems to be a strong fondness for prison break, gossip girl and heros. it is very popular with many of the people i have met because you can go to a pc bang and watch them or just download them on your computer. seeing that i dont watch any of those shows i need to catch up. :)

-noraebangs are really popular and when i was telling sarah, my new korean friend, about open karoake bars she thought it was the weirdest thing ever. i think possibly she would be too shy to do it...but i guess that makes sense, just being in a room with your friends or in a bar with lots of people. hmmm...i almost think i would take the bar. :)

-the bath houses are huge here and everyone ive talked to has said they realize how weird many foriegners think the concept is. i am one of them. but i think i am willing to go for it, if the right opportunity came along.

-i am slowly building up my korean vocabulary. i recognize a lot of words now actually from teaching haha. really is a great way to learn.

so im enjoying it. so i think i will enjoy some more MTV and chocolate.

until next time.
