a waegook's monday

its monday. i was at work until 8pm today. suck. but as i walked out of the building i was met by a cool breeze. for the past week or two its reached at least 85* everyday. and the heat holds on forever here. its like the air doesn't know how to shift or something. the air here. what an experience. i'd equate it to visiting the hospedaje in the DR... just something you've gotta experience to understand. but tonight was different. tonight it wasn't so much the smell in the air, as the water. it was like breathing rain. but different. i mean, when it rains the moisture has formulated into droplets so as to not take up every minuscule part of the sky, but tonight...i was breathing in water. thick. yeah, thick.
i stopped to get a potato sandwich and ice latte from joes. on my way home i literally passed a guy on a motorbike. its crazy how many people walk everywhere here, but its amazing what some of them will do to get away from the walking. oh, and i also saw a guy on a regular bike drinking his cass (beer). a monday. at 8pm. gotta appreciate korea.
my apartment is warmer. my lil thermometer still reads 80* despite leaving all windows open and having all electricity turned off all day. i actually cleaned up a bit last night. i've packed up my winter apparel so i'll have less to do in july. but its amazing the floor space i've gained by doing some cleaning and sorting through...it's like i'm living in a new apartment! <--that was just for you mama ;)
i've officially been accepted to grace college as an undergrad transfer student. that's weird. being a student again. especially after being a teacher and so flippantly giving homework to the kids. maannnnn! haha
well this is my off week for open classes. but we've got may session reports to do on every kid and as always--lesson plans. they are starting to become the bane of my existence. not good. especially bc i'll be doing them for the rest of my life. and probably a lot more extensive than i do them now.
maybe i'll get to wear my snazzy new rain boots tomorrow.
