Coffee Shops and Internet

So here I am, at Tom N Toms, a chain coffee shop in Seoul. They have free wifi, and I needed to check my email, among other things. My internet connection is unreliable, and I feel like the company shuts it down every time it gets to be the end of the billing cycle, even though I haven't received the bill so that I can pay for it. Ugh, I would totally change companies, if it wasn't for the fact that I would have to bother someone who speakings Korean to have them cancel it.

I'm thinking of doing starting up exercising again, because I definitely need to shed some of the weight I've gained since being here. If I do, I think I'll put it on this blog, to kind of track my progress. I just have to figure out my schedule and fit it into my free blocks of time.

Speaking of my schedule, I am back up to full-time status and teaching 24 hours. I have classes that I have already taught before, so my prep is minimal, other than making the classes better than before. I'm going to try new reward/motivation tactics(?), and see how that goes. And I have Saturdays off again, which is exciting. Maybe I'll actually go somewhere over the weekend.

Mondays

Monday is my day to get everything done that I need to before the week starts, because Saturday and Sunday are my lazy "I'm not going to leave the apartment" days. Unfortunately, that puts a lot of stress on me on Mondays.

Today's stress? Writing assessments for students. It's only for one class, but I'm always too wordy or not wordy enough, or can't remember the who the student is, since I've had some of them only one time. I'm about three hours into it, and I still have half the class to go. ><

But since I'm stuck at the computer, I figured I'd take the time to update my iPod (and this blog). So I'm trying to update to the new 4.0 version of the software. It's taking forever, and I have to use the computer that runs very very hot.

Anyway, back to work. Or maybe lunch. And then back to work. Otherwise, I'll never finish this.
