From the Belly of the Beast

From a journal entry dated March 11, 2010:

Coteaching -> Working our way into the flow of the school schedule. Always exhausted -- I think my sleep schedule barely worked without kids over winter break but now it's just ridiculous. Need more sleep! I now have 3 coteachers up from 1 of last semester.
by the way: writing this on the train on my way to trivia and am wondering how Koreans are so successful at getting smashed by 8:30 PM and then finding me on the train to sit next to afterwards.
by the way 2: trying to ease the odd balance between journal writing and blogging ... already am aware that this should go in the blog as well.
Anyhoo= 3 coteachers up from 1 but no afternoon program so my free time gets a nice and almost unwanted boost. Working as much as I did last semester was tiring yet fulfilling. I don't want to lose that sense of fulfillment.
Pleasantly surprised at how nice my handwriting is even when I write blind (aforementioned Korean man's head is extremely close to my lap) - Yes, I mean you crazy, old man. You probably can't read English and you almost certainly couldn't read Korean at this point either. He held my hand for like 30 seconds - I apologize, this is getting seriously derailed, everyone is watching me yet I press on. I can't help laughing either. His hand was large and soft.
Out of 3 new CT's, (Mrs. Lim, my old coteacher, is one of them), Mrs. Kim (my main) is awesome and really good at teaching English. It is her 7th year in the biz and 20th teaching in general. Ms. Jung I see on Fridays, and that has been an interesting adjustment as I adapt to new theories and ways! Life in Korea is one of adjustments. That's all for now, trivia time!

By the way in relation to the man on train:
During my time at Westwood I got a full array of compliments, far more often and far too flattering than I deserved. One of my personal favorites though was when someone told me I "had the patience of Job." I think tonight, with my new-found friend, I lived up to that billing! Sadly, I do not think a second date is in the works.
