How can it be December already? Sometimes it just feels like yesterday that I was sitting here at my desk, sweating, wondering why they kept turning off the fans. Actually, it has been unseasonably warm so far this fall, with lows in the upper 30s and highs in the low 50s, so I guess I shouldn’t complain about the weather, at least. From what I remember of Korean winters, we’re about to enter the more dreary part of the season. At some point the wind direction will change, and it’ll become dry, windy, and bitterly cold. I guess I can hope for a warmer-than-average winter, but I’m not holding my breathe. Actually, I’m kind of looking forward to trying out the mask and goggles I bought a few weeks back. I have a balaclava and sun/wind/dust goggles to wear in the cold. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of funny looks, but I don’t care. The last thing I want to do is half-freeze my face riding to work and then have my nose run as I thaw. I guess I shouldn’t be looking forward to that, though. I’m sure I’ll be dreaming of the summer soon enough.
Not a whole lot else going on, really. I just found out that we have another native english teacher meeting on Friday, which is just as well since that’s the day my school gets their flu shots, and I have nothing else to do that afternoon. It’s supposed to be from 1-5, maybe with dinner thrown in, so it shouldn’t be too bad. I’m supposed to have my winter camp lesson plans ready by then, so maybe i’ll work on them this afternoon, if I can wrangle-up the motivation. What’s far more likely is that i’ll procrastinate until the very last minute and do it on Thursday evening. I hope I don’t, but I’m starting to get to know myself pretty well.
Hey Frank-O. What’s your address in the land o fermented cabbage?
I’m not actually sure what my physical address is. I’ll have to give it to you on email.
