It’s not often I get drunk and make a complete fool of myself (well not THAT often) but last night was a bit of a write off.
It all started when I got a message from Ken inviting me to dinner. We went to the BBQ place around the corner from the apartment, and the Soju started. It all ended with me throwing money at Jieun (literally) after writing happy birthday on the notes. I think they were only W1000 notes but I just don’t remember.
I have decided Soju is the Devil’s work. This morning I could hardly stand and wasn’t able to keep my eyes open until at least lunch time (several kids had to keep waking me up in class). This inspite of 8 hours sleep - Ladies and Gentlemen I was in bed and asleep (comatose) before 11.
Thankfully the regular hangover cure of Dokbokki worked a charm after work and this evening I am feeling considerably better.
Summer is officially over in that afternoon classes will resume from Monday. Autumn started on the calendar last week and it is still as hot as hell, but sadly the lazy hazy days of summer are gone…or are going.
I am now in the process of seriously considering my options for next year with only six months left on my contract here in Korea. I would like to stay a bit longer perhaps, but the novelty is wearing off - even though it has taken 18 months - usually I get bored far more quickly. The former Auckland Teacher’s College (now UofA) requires interviews in December, meaning it will be pretty impossible for me to attend from March. Secondly I don’t think there is a second semester start for Dip Tchg. I need a couple of stage two papers in English to qualify for a targeted subject scholarship so I thought I might go back to varsity in second semester and start Teacher’s College March 2007 (I will eventually become a real teacher) and how the hell am I going to pay for all this. (well there was a reason for coming to Korea in the first place wasn’t there?)
The primary sources of my election coverage are TVNZ and Russell Brown. I was rolling around with laughter when I saw National’s new Taxathon ad. Don’t mean I’ll vote for the right wing bastards though!
