Maybe you will, maybe you won't

Yup, I'm sitting here in my English classroom, watching the foggy mist roll over the mountains in the distance...knowing I should go to the bathroom, but a bit too lazy to actually move...

I can distinctly remember the conversation my Korean co-teacher and I had at lunch yesterday...'Yes, tomorrow maybe class, maybe no.' When I heard this, I thought 'Well, we'll see what happens'

So far, 10:30, it's leaning towards maybe no. This isn't necessarily a problem, I mean, I've had ample time to start this Blog, to which I'm still somehow opposed...because I know I'm going to forget about it in a week's time...not because writing isn't fulfilling, just because of the whole Twitter/Blog/Facebook sensation, passing trends in a digital world...Now's not the time for such digressions though, maybe at 11:30...

Anyways, if you decide to teach in Korea, and I hate to use this cursed word again, it is DYNAMIC, meaning things can change at the last minute. One day, you can expect a full day, only to find out there's testing, or sports day (which is quite fantastic!!), etc. The best approach, 'don't worry about it'.

While abroad, you can't let life's hiccups bother you, it's all gotta roll off the back. As foreigners, there's really not much we can do. To really enjoy your time, you've gotta negotiate what to get upset about, otherwise you're in for a looooooong trip.
