Week 32 - Y2 (Oct 8th to Oct 14th)
Sunday Oct 8th, A minor bought of something resembling food poisoning tonight, perhaps from some yoghurt from the convenience store? I'm not really sure . . . But it did occur to me as I was throwing up that I've been surprisingly healthy since I moved to Seoul-- no colds, no coughs that last for 6 months, less allergic reactions/food poisoning. Who would have thought that a city of 2o million people would be better for me than Daegu? Maybe it was just an allergic reaction to my former boss in Daegu . . .
Monday Oct 9th, Back to school. Is it weird that I actually enjoy going to work? I've grown really attached to some of my students, to the point where I almost want to fail them so that they'll have to come back next year! (Fortunately that urge is usually counteracted by the also strong urge to give them all As, just because I like them so much)
Wednesday Oct 11th, Trying to get a temporary visa worked out for some upcoming shows: both of them are a little more high profile, and thus we can't risk having me get caught on stage without permission from immigration. So Oak Young, one of the professors, is helping me with the documentation, to get a temporary permit to perform for those two specific days. God, if only I could have a fake marriage to a Korean, so that I wouldn't have to worry about the playing thing anymore! Worked for Ben, and is about to work for Kenji. Speaking of Kenji, Jae, Won Sul, Ben and I have to miss Kenji's wedding next weekend for an out of town gig! Kenji's not thrilled about it because a) half of his co-workers won't be at his wedding and b) he's missing out on the gig, which apparently pays a ridiculous amount of money. There may have been some jokes about whether or not it would acceptable to send a sub to fill in for him at the wedding . . .
Saturday Oct 14th, My only plans for the weekend: to relax! Knowing how busy the next month is going to be, with student concerts, gigs, birthday parties, so on, I want to get in at least one weekend of "me" time. I intend to watch movies, write music and read for the remainder of the weekend!
