Volleyball is important in my school. The Alpha Wolf is a former P.E teacher and is just crazy about the game. He feels the need to beat every other school down mercilessly, I like him! We usually play volleyball on Wednesdays and Fridays, but I think it's cancelled today:(
Didn't have any classes yesterday due to some special science day field trip. It totally sucked, I hate sitting around doing nothing. I'd much rather be teaching than watching videos, reading trashy blogs, or any of that desk warming related junk.
Something terribly wrong just happened...I was in the bathroom taking my morning dump when somebody walked in.... must eliminate from my mind......
I've got 5 classes today. I think we'll do roleplays for the regular classes, the kids always love that shit. I give em each a pair of wierd sunglasses to help with creating a new persona for the role play, works great.
After School
I've got a date with this chick I was sleeping with last year. It's strange because now she won't put-out. I'm a sucker for punishment I guess. We'll do the dinner thing then maybe I'll take her to this cozy wine bar in Seomyeon I discovered with Pudding Time
And here we go....

Laxatives are the Devil?!
Grade 3!The players:- 나영, 지영, 지윤
Great class... We started practicing phonics which made me want to pull out my hair, because 지윤 refuses to speak above a whisper. After 20 gueling minutes of that I decided to try reading a book with them (Tomorrow's Alphabet). They were sounding out words like little pro's. It was awesome!?
Grade 6!The players:- 지성, 인해, 동우, 금지, 양선, 은영, 민성, Donkey
I like to use my afterschool class to review shit we learned in the regular English classes. We reviewed the 4 seasons unique to only Korea(oops?). They actually remembered a lot of what we learned before so it was easy breezy. I decided to give em a week-long group project writing a story about the changing seasons. They sat down, shut up and did their work. Kudos to them!
Grade 5!The players: 지호, 은정, 윤정, 은주, 히재, 정훈, 동율
We watched a movie. They earned a break after a whole month of having English expressions pounded into their heads mercilessly. (thanks to the Busan MOE for making me teach that retarded little book)
Home
I was feeling kind of backed up so I bought some laxatives at the local drugstore. I made sure to ask the chick if they were powerful (I needed serious relief). She said "oh yes vely stlong". I took 2... nothing after 2 hours... I took 2 more... nothing. I went to sleep pissed off because I wasted 1500won.
Woke up with a serious hard-on. They finally did their job and it was all I could do to make it to the toilet before I exploded. Ahhhhh relief.

3 cups of coffee, 2 cigarettes, and 0 classes
Tuesdays suck. My first class doesn't begin until 2:00pm and I've nothing to do.
"Prepare."
No. I've prepared my lessons for the next 3 weeks and I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
Desk-sitting is what Tuesdays and Thursdays are all about! The gods have played a cruel joke on me, I've nothing to do but bow to them and their great plan.
동준 just said hello to me for the 5th time this morning. Maybe he wants to set a new record. But despite the blatantly stupid scheduling of my classes, I must say my job here at **** elementary is particularly sweet. With the problematic exception of my co-teacher, everyone here loves me... And it's not the condescending type either!
We all get along great at this school, not the cheesy 'happy family' kind of getting along either. We get along because 1-2(ish) times a week everyone at my school goes out and works hard at getting as shitfaced as possible together.
-Volleyball day? "Let's get drunk!"
-MOE overlords visited our school? "Fuck soju, tonight we're drinking whiskey!"
-The spicy squid for lunch was particularly tasty today? "4:30 SOJU TIME!!?!"
Yes, our relationships are built and fueled by booze. The very best social lubricant available to our disposal in this country. And it's not just the men either. Those ladies can drink a lot of the dudes under the floormats. Apparently 제현 just got punched by a girl. He came to get a hug.
I'm tired of writing about nothing. Time for coffee #4 and cigarette #3.

Oh the Horror?!
Inspired by the madness I see coming from other K-Blogs, I've decided to throw my hat into the ring. This blog is meant to be a diary of sorts about my life teaching in Korea.
