I go to school I teach all day and the free time I get I spend lesson planning or I stick my headphones on and listen to Shakira or other Latin music. I’m in an office with another 5 people yet I barely talk to them. I finish work and, sometimes, have coffee with Sally... which is nice. I’ve never had a job where you don’t have time to have a friendly chat. Tanbeol school is a hostile place.

What make it bearable are the kids!! My students are lovely really lovely! They make me laugh every day. My co-teacher is somewhat funny even though she tries not to be. Her English is a mountain I climb every day. She tires me out and sends me a little crazy. All I can do is laugh, I laugh at her all the time, she never knows why and I don’t tell her why.

This year has been shit. Shouldn’t have come back. Should have just stayed in Yeosu and I would have almost finished my time in Korea. Would have spent more time with people I like. I miss my friends every day. There are no friends here.

In other news my dad had brain surgery. It was a very tense time. He’s on the mend and but still has a few leg issues, perhaps he can’t work again, he sometimes get confused and I think he has developed a slight stutter. Who knows it’s only been a week since his tumour came out; it’s not cancer so he’ll be ok. I’ll see him again in a few months which makes me so happy.

I’ve started my Spanish studies again. I’ve met a girl who speaks fluent Spanish and is willing to help me learn, GREAT!! I’ve also realised I’m sick of East Asia. I’m fed up with their bullshit! Definitely time to move on.  Two places come to mind... Singapore or Spain.... hmmm undecided as of yet.

So what’s going on right now... well Ste and Ollie are recording music, the weather is grey and sticky. Upstairs are arguing again and their baby is crying. I’m gonna study some Spanish after this and I promise I will update more often. I really enjoy writing about my daily life it helps me filter all the junk going on in my head....
