I haven't seen one turtle in all of Asia. Man, now I'm curious.
So I think that Wednesday is going to have my problem class. The last class I taught was from 7pm till 10pm. It was a reading class. These kids were violently apathetic. I could barely get them to open their books, let alone read. What I was told were going to be the "good" kids were writing on the walls and couldn't repeat back anything I said to them. ANYTHING. I would talk to one guy, looking directly at him, and ask him what i just said. He would just say "wha?" and the whole class would laugh. That was a nightmare. Luckily every class is not like that. These are the older kids who are in the lower levels. It took everything I had just to get them to speak English (which they have been doing for at least 4 years each. Man, this is stress.
Meh, thats what beer is for. Hopefully next week will be better. Theres a lot of middle school testing going on, so the students might be distracted. Or they're distracted by the very attractive tall white guy thats teaching them. Yeah, thats probably it.
This weekend I'm going to try to go to the national park that's just north of Daegu. I heard it's supposed to be amazing. Getting out of the city will be a nice change. I have been going on runs more, and its really helped with the lingering jet lag. Now I sleep like a rock. Now, I just need to work on getting up before 12.
New goal = See a turtle doing ninja kicks in Asia.
