Fugitive on the run!



AS I get a whiff of the strong, strange scent of the caramel Korean coffee I feel like a fugitive on the run! Trying to keep ahead of the rest but constantly on the GO!!! Since Friday night I have slept in three different beds; Friday night at Ashley's in Emma Co Bu young Apatuh, Saturday in Kirsten's apartment in Okchang in the neighbouring province in Chungbuk and then Sunday night back in Chuncheon this time in Chen's apartment-soyang ro hyundai apatuh!

Phew! I feel drained just as I can imagine a fugitive does: Not enough sleep, eating badly and lots, doing everything as one gets the chance (6 lesson plans in 3days and 17 hours of teaching), trying to keep up social appearances with other fugitives(ie other teachers) as they might come in handy and they know what you are going through, a severe panic as things don't seem to be going your way (my middle school boys were impossible yesterday) and also being strapped for cash (Just had enough to pay the taxi man this morning!)= MY WORD!

MOAN MOAN MOAN! :) Phew!

In the last few days, I have though- I think unlike a fugitive- also managed to go to Daejon, watch the local football match win, move my life in 6 bags to my new place of residence (ie Chen's Place), soak my legs in a natural hot spring, eat delicious sweet potato pizza, take delight in the beautiful blossoms, and tonight I am once more going to play badminton with my lovely Wilson Racket which I bought for only R60- gotta love the cheap stuff in Asia!

Other than that, I need to do a lesson plan now! "Immediatement" as the French say!

Bisous
