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
