Oct 19th
This week has felt like a month. Perhaps because I wasnt running around like a headless chicken.
Tomorrow Kim and all her friends (including moi) are going to a "resort" near the sea. We are taking a bus to Yeosu and then getting picked up and driven out of town to this place. It is apparently western style, so we shall see.
I just made a killer spaghetti sauce, and had it for lunch. For dinner, I am going to my old hood to Chosun University and will be meeting Chisun and her husband for dinner. They are such a lovely couple. I can't wait to see them. They used to live across the street from my place. I will go visit my old hood.
I have been given some extra classes which is nice. I am going to teach 15 hours next week, then I will have five 50 minute classes from 8:30 am to 9:20 and 6:00 pm to 6:50. This means I am going to be working over 8 extra hours a week. And according to my contract I am to work 18 hours a week, so that means 5.2 hours of overtime.
Institutions such as these pay very well for overtime work, and so it is possible to live off the overtime pay and bank the remainder. We shall see. I do not intend to live like a hermit here, but I am going to try to save.
My sister mentioned something about investing, and playing the stock market, so I think it would be good to put a little (no more than one can afford to lose) and see what happens. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I would like to have my tuition for teachers college in the bank by the time I leave here.
Well, I have laundry to do and I need to get detergent and sugar (not for my laundry, but for the real coffee I finally bought yesterday) so I should be off. I also have to erase the Eurocenters photos off my camera so I can have space to take more pics this weekend. That should be cleansing ;)
I will get the firewire to download pics next week and put some on here of my apartment as well as the trip.
Have a good weekend y'all.
Over and out
