here comes the sun…

I wake up in the morning to these Korean nursery rhyme songs. Its as if I spent the night at Epcot. I think some of the songs are Christian Sunday School songs sang in Korean, but to answer the question, that’s what I wake up to. Thus far anyway, and I know it will only be a M-F thing because the music is for the kids walking to school, there’s one across from my apartment.

Am I in Korea? Yes, I suppose I am. Do I feel like that? Not so much. The reasons for this could be that the majority of people I am in daily (count it, two days) contact with all speak English. So it could be that I am in Chicago, which is becoming highly populated by Asians, that, or a lot of Asians travel to Chicago. If my answer to the first question seems contradictory to my first statement I don’t know what to say other than that’s how it is here. I am in the middle of talking myself into going out for the first time by myself because I am in desperate need of some juice, and so it goes. Less then a block away from my apartment is a convenient store. One that I could go to right now. Will I? Odds are looking slim. Speaking of odds my dad went to the Kentucky Derby today. That’s cool.

For some other strange reason I didn’t put two and two together and tell myself I am a teacher. I have considered quitting. I haven’t even taught on my own. And though the kindergarteners are the prime reason for this consideration I think it is also because, here’s a novel thought, work is involved in this work. It’s not bad. Getting out at night sucks. We’ll see how much. The kids are cute so that’s a pro for their own sake.

It’s morning where I come from right now. Rarely do I find someone up at this time, other than my mom. Who I am quite convinced has installed a computer onto her body. When she turns her ring to the left she picks up wireless and then, finds me. No complaints, I adore being desired. I am also the biggest fan of all these emails. I’ve gotta put up my address. Packages can be sent to the school, I know that much. I ate hardboiled quail eggs today!!! That’s decidedly the cultural highlight thus far. Hmmmm…okay so that’s an understatement but really…really. That’s enough for now. Eat up.
