Last Night in Seoul

So I was all set to go out tonight and have some fun, but the people with whom I was supposed to go out (some of them were coordinators for the program) ended up having a bunch of paperwork to do, and since most of us don't have cell phones, I couldn't get in touch with everyone else. So I will probably spend my last night in Seoul either running, prepping for meeting my co-teacher, looking at Yonsei Univeristy for graduate programs... or maybe all three. Maybe even dipping into War and Peace. It just stinks when you are all excited to go out with smashing people and it ends up being a bust. :( I'm sad.

But I have to wake up at around 6:30a tomorrow anyhow, for the teachers going to Busan have to load our luggage at 7:50a. We have our closing ceremony at 10a, and I believe we Busan-ers are leaving the ceremony early at 10:30 because it will take us 5-6 hours to get there, for Busan is almost in the southeast part of South Korea while Seoul is in the northern western part.

We meet our co-teachers tomorrow. I am nervous, but definitely excited too. I want to create a good impression, but I also want to try and make sure that I get everything I need to get done as soon as possible. Apparently the co-teachers get no extra incentive for helping us out with getting our Alien Registration Cards and our bank accounts and anything else we may need, so I need to try and figure out how to prevent him or her from despising these chores. Since I don't yet have any gifts to bear, hopefully a smile and attempts at speaking Korean going horrifically awry will suffice for now.

I'm getting side-tracked and have started watching videos on Ironman China and Japan, so I am going to succumb into that pressure. On a separate note, it is amazing how awake I feel from half a liter of Pepsi now having been off coffee for about 2 weeks (I decided to have a bit of caffeine because I thought I would be going out tonight...BAH). Anyway. I may not have time to write in the next week or so, because I can't officially set up my internet until I get my ARC, which would take a week or two. So...stay tuned for some interesting stories in the near future!
