A weeks past

A Brand new month and yet another way to start off Korea.


I am looking forward to making some amends and try to curb the situations that I have disgracefully fallen into.

Here is a look at whats going on in Nick's little corner of the world.

The Good the Bad and The Ugly.

Start off with the Good, I am reading National Geographic the magazine and thus trying to get back into my major as well as the habit of reading. I am learning about Animal migrations. Last month I read about Whales and their unfortunate plight dealing with deep sea trolling, fishing, and the lucrative undertaking of OIL... I also just finished Jeff Shaara's The Last Full Measure and his movie Gods and Generals which were about the Civil War.


Today I went to Nampo-dong and spent the afternoon shopping and eating. I was able to visit with a friend of mine and figure out a few leisure activities including a brand new bookstore in the Department Store.

I didn't find anything worth while to buy so I just browsed. My wife bought a shirt from Thursday Island, and a book for her class at YBM.

Speaking of YBM I got cheated out of the month of January. I don't think I will be working as much as I expected in a couple months. I think the politics and the communication breakdown has ran its course and I won't be able to make a new stand towards vindicating myself as an ESL Teacher. I actually got screwed at my other job site too since I told them I would quit and therefore won't be working for their adult classes, or the blessed childrens classes that I currently have. I am done with them maybe even in the next 2 weeks.


I work for a home school once a week as well and get a lousy 30 dollars for it. Its a drag and a thorn on my side. It started out as a way for me to show my wife I can bring home some bacon and thus as a present from my friend (admitting that it was for pity) and now its turning into a thing where I am helping them out, saving them more money, and taking a load of off their shoulders. If I quit it would hurt them a lot but I am thinking of quitting since I can't get 40 dollars. BIG FUCKING deal 10 dollars but my friend is being too cheap and all bow to the law of Korean culture which says that they can't change their ways not even to save their own asses.


So there's work. Its sickening and I am in the middle of the good ole rat race where now there is too much supply of foreigners and not enough demand. Low Rates, less privates, less English lessons, lower amount of students and more complaining and I am living in the shit hole.

YES, I admit I married into it and I am stuck and I am coming home in June and I have some prejudices but everyone does as I found out on Saturday.


7 days 5 MLS one YBM one homeschool, A trip to PNU, a trip to NAMPO DONG (on Saturday and Sunday)

Next Week.... a trip to YBM to complain about my pay, my schedule and maybe a nail in the coffin. A trip to PNU to say hello (a waste of time) and A Wedding event on Sunday which knowing my family I will be too tired for. WOW

READERS leave that one alone. I don't want to hear a negative complaint. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE


Well A fond Farewell until next time!



DISCLAIMER:

I write with what's in my heart. I want to tell people what I really think and want people to understand me better. I met a new friend that is a fellow blogger and really enjoyed listening to her stories. Her insights helped me see things differently and thus I learned. To all of you other people who leave comments I find you all to be detrimental since most of the time you have spat out something to me in haste and or in holier than thou lecture filled with brimstone of negative or hostility towards me. Write me an email if you are so damn upset and or better yet get a life. Obviously you misunderstood me somewhere down the line.


I had to get that off of my chest since I am leaving out a lot of the details in regards to all of my jobs. I don't want to taint this blog post any further with garbage.
