What an exhausting week. I have found that I am busy, but not as busy as I thought in the beginning. Near the end of this week my brain would not let me rest and could not get any sleep as I was thinking about the curriculum here. I was not pleassed with it and was concerned about my ability to teach students well. I have found I like to do my job too well, I am learning to relaax on the lessons, but I still require much from my students. There is deffinantly a language barrier, but it is ok as the students are becoming more use to hearing me speak English. I have found this week more exhausting because it seems all I do is work because I do not get any preperation time, so I end up taking my work home with me. HUH...
Also, my employer keeps asking me to do errands so I do not get to sleep, but these errands need to be done with me as they pertain to my being in Korea. I am super excited that it is Friday because I will be able to rest over the weekend, somewhat. Yesteeeerday I was treated to dinner as a celebration and welcome dinner with all my coworkers and employer. Afterwards we went and did karaoke. It was fun, but since I haad a long day on wednesday and a then a longer day yesterday, it was hard to keep awake. I am feeling the ffects of being overly busy. It seems that everytime I think I will get a small break it is filled with either the desire of people wanting me to hang with them or I spend half of it teaching my employer English. It is almost too much. I am currently a little upset with myself because I should be more patient with my emnployer and try to understand where he is coming from, but I don't think he tries to undeerstand where I am coming from. I think in time I will have some more breathing time. Please pray that I can get some rest and find some breathing room. Everyone here is in awe of my prescence and I am not use to it. I am now seeing the annoyance of popularity in being fameous. Pray that I learn to deal with it and move past that frusteration so I can enjoy my time more. I am sorry that this blog is more serioous, but I have been forwarned that certain things will happen, it seems I am dealing with other things that I was never forwarned. I still love being here... Cheers everyone, I am supre tired and forgot my glasses at home so I need to appologize for any misspelled words. Love you all. Reha

Hi Reha,
Hope you have been able to get a little more time to yourself.Maybe sometimes you will have to say "NO" to a request in order to let people know you have respect for your own time.I've learned if I don't say NO sometimes, I end up being resentful that my time was taken.But, it's my responsibility to protect my own needs. Well, you're exhausted.I guess it's better than being bored......but a happy medium woud be nice,huh?!
I'm sure you'll figure out how to take care of your needs. I know you're doing a great job and I bet they really appreciate having you. We've been spending time in the house practicing Christmas songs. Me on my keyboard and Rick on Bryan's old accordion.It's been in the low 30's and snowing. Supposed to get down to 12 by Friday. Have you been to Costco?
Any ranch dressing available?
Love Jo & Rick
Well, I have been very busy and Costco is far, so no Costco for me, sniff sniff. Oh well... I have some ranch dressing that I brought from home, but will run out in a couple of months. I am trying to limit one packjage a month, I find it very difficult. As for saying no, it is more work stuff that I can't saay no to. I will figure things out. I also think that it maybe that I am not in a routine yet. I am a little nervouse because my employer is thinking of adding another two classes. Ugh... If that happens I will have to put my foot down. It was awesome to hear from you.
Love you and miss you
