location:Gayagok middle school. 3.37pm. english room.

i got up at around 6.30 am. turned on my computer on. and i had connection.
i was really happy that my internet finally worked. then it died. crap.

stupid internet access and apt building!

ive been sleeping pretty early like around 9pm last nite. i was going to sleep earlier than that, until i heard the door bell. now, i know i dont knw anyone here, except steven and rebecca one floor down, and i wasnt really tight with them. so i ask who it was through the intercom. i heard someone talking in english, and he said he was a friend of "britney" (you know my ex-tenant of the apt) and stevens also. so i met Salim, we talked over about an hour, he was from queens, new york. he actually know where canarsie is at, and the hot bagels, and super tasty hotdogs and humongos pizza. which only leads to believe that he is a real new yorker. this is salim's 2nd year here in Korea. he is planning to stay here until 6 years. i dont even know if ill make it into 6 months. so he invited me this weekend at least to go hang out with some university english speaking koreans. and whenever i wanna hang to go to seoul and busan. i just said "yea sure, whenever right." what are the chances that ill be going to be hanging out with him again anyways. but hes a nice dude. hes pretty funny.

Salim told me that koreans doesnt really like filipinos around here. umm gee thanks.
he just told me that were not koreans and theyre also hating on korean americans. so basically theres a whole of hating around here. goshh need to stop drinking them haterade.
and he told me about the motel that ive been staying is really a love motel.. ahhh that would explain the fact that there was porn in two channels. (and its not the kind thats very appealing. its with dirty old men, whos hitting on with young women-- with too much make up. thats porn for them? deng. and womens boobs are just like men, its lesser than A cup.. wteff?? seriously, i think theyve deprived some of the american porn. rent one. seriously.)

so i was mostly observing today, i really wanted to interrupt the korean teacher and tell her that her kids are not behaving well. combing, using a mirror, texting, and whispering each others ears, giggling, uniforms untucked, touching each other, boys ing papers to girls so that they can have their attention, and sleeping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!!! ohh man i wish Mrs. Turner is here, she wouldve woop these kids into shape. it was just a mess. they have no motivation whatsoever.

soo by the time 6th period is on, i already have 5 rules:

1.come prepared.
2.no speaking korean.
3.no homework from other class.
4. BE RESPECTFUL. (no touching, no talking when someones talking)
5. NO electronics! (will be confiscated, if i caught them using it inside class).

it worked. i was just a total bitch.if someone talked. the whole class will recite the rules again. and specifically the ones that they broke.

i had fun slowing my power point that consists with alot of my families photograph. including gaston :)

how is gaston by the way? still chewing those wires and eating rice?

i just found out that ill be getting classes from 8.20 am to 9
am, for the special students that are bright. not the special ones like what mae refers them to as "R".. no its the opposite kind. i have to see if thats part of my program and if i get paid more for that.. what other surprises are there now?

do you think ive been too negative about this experienece? because i dont think so its just kinda terrible things thats been happening.. but its not that bad... but being alone away from home is kinda getting to me. but slowly im getting use to being independent.. but deng seriously, its kinda scary. i was walking by myself to the nearest PC bang. by seriously, i got lost.. coz i couldnt really read all those hangul sign. i have to remember this convenience store. but even that got lost through all the darkness and worried that those drunk men will attack you. haha yes im that paranoid.

anyways, i just found out that Sandara Park is going solo. arent they a new group? she couldnt really sing. really? im kinda surprise, since theyre really popular around here.

well when i get home:
- i need to cook first.
-lesson plan for elementary

i really hope that my internet works today or tomorrow. at least ill be able to tell my dad happy birthday...wow my 2nd birthday that im not there. that sucks.

I cant,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to.
