Some of my students asked me what "etc." meant a few days ago. I told them that it meant "and the rest" or "and the others", in Latin. Stupidly, I tried to explain to them what Latin is. I drew a picture of Italy on the board, and asked, "do you know what country this is"? No one did. Again, stupidly, I tried to explain where Italy was and it's importance. Crickets.
It's twelve midnight on a Monday, and again I find myself in a PC bang, instead of my room. Truth is, if I weren't here, I would be listening to a Korean lesson on my MP3 player and walking around. My life has become extremely regimented. I can tell you exactly what I am going to do tomorrow, and the day after that. I bet you're super curious right? To bad, I'm going to tell you, anyway!
Tomorrow, I am going to sleep through my alarm and get woken up by my Korean language partner calling me at about nine-forty-five. I will throw some crap in my bag, make myself presentable, and go to Tom Tom's coffee to meet Christine we will intermittently chat and go through some pre-constructed dialogues.
I will get to work at about eleven thirty. I will throw together the last few evaluations, I will plug in my i-pod to the school's computer and surf the web for a bit. I will book a hostel for the weekend. Glen will come in at about twelve thirty. Usually, we would go for lunch, I suspect he will go out for lunch with one of the Korean teachers tomorrow, so I will eat a gimbap Nara, get out some money to pay for the next two months of MMA and probably swing at some balls at the batting cage. I will come in shortly before one-thirty. I will read for the majority of the next hour and a half (prep time).
I will easily drift through my classes and I will speedily leave the office to catch the start of the 8:30 MMA class. At 9:45, I will go back to the school to drop of my bag and my scooter. I will walk half way home while listening to a Korean lesson, and take a cab the rest of the way. Once at home I will boil mandu. I will read an evolutionary biologist's opinion about where morality comes from and I will meditate.
The next morning, I will stretch, and I will run ten kilometers to work. I will go to the Sauna to shower, and rejuvenate. I will show up to work at 12:30. Ben, Glen, and I will eat spicy octopus for lunch. I will leave work just before nine, and speedily make my way to the Hapkido gym. At ten, I will go to Lotte Mart and buy foodstuffs. I will drive home and probably refuse to eat more than a handful of almonds. I will go for a walk and listen to a Korean lesson. When I go home I will read the rest of the evolutionary biologist's opinion of evolution. I will meditate some more. I will go to sleep by 1:30, because I will be tired from the run went on in the morning.
Friday, is a wild card.
