Passed out - Tuesday July 1, 2008

It's July! I can't believe it.

Anyway, Ray woke up early to head out; he was going to find the spa that wasn't quite as 24 hours as we thought it was to take a shower. We met at my school before my first class.

I took him to the office to meet my co-teacher and to the first grade office to meet the first grade teachers. I figured they should know that there was going to be a strange man in my classroom today.

The kids loved Ray! I introduced him in each of my classes. We both had to continuously explain that he was not my boyfriend, I am not his wife, he is not my husband. Haha! We asked him his name and where he was from and talked about where he teaches. It was fun!

Ray was also incredible because he taped part of my classes which I've really wanted to do but haven't other than an official tape going to Fulbright for next year's EETAs.

I was sad when he had to leave after my third class. I walked him to the bus stop and before I could get all sappy about missing him, he said we would see each other again. Haha! I hope so.

After he left, I went talked to Lauren for a bit. She's traveling this week; Seoul to visit family and Busan to visit Busan and a friend who lives down there.

Then I ate lunch.

Then I promptly passed out in the first grade teachers' office. After 2 hours of sleep last night and three classes of first grades later, I was done for. Every time someone walked in, I would briefly lift my head and then again pass out. It was like I was drugged. Never have I ever responded that poorly to two hours of sleep. I did it all the time in college, but I think since I came to Korea, I have a different sleeping pattern. I'm just not used to the two hours of sleep anymore.

I slept until I had to get up to head to meet my Korean tutor. I took a taxi even because I was too tired to walk the 15-20 minutes there. Sad, huh? I saw Vin at Bean Club and we talked for a bit. When Flight showed up, she and I went to get Kal Mandu Guk at a place VERY far from the cafe. She drove, and we went into a part of Wonju I had never seen before. After eating, we went to a cafe at Kil Cafe, a street lined with cafes. We drank coffee and talked about all sorts of things. I love my tutor! She's been so amazing, and she's a good friend. We took a walk near the base of Chiaksan after drinking yummy coffee.

We headed back over toward Lotte Cinema to meet a friend of mine from Ghana. We met on a bus ride to Seoul a few weeks ago, but we haven't been able to meet back up. So, we met for coffee. I could only talk with him for a little over an hour because I had to head to my guitar lessons. I decided to walk today from Lotte Cinema. I didn't even realize it was as possible as it is until Ray and I walked there last night.

I was only at my lesson for a little over an hour. I was so exhausted.

I came home and went to bed before midnight.

Peace out.
