I am hungry. While I know the simple answer is to go down to GS and get some food, I just took a shower and now I am typing this. After I am done, I may go get some food. We'll see. I ate a lot for lunch. I had a delicious dinner coincientially was at the emart food court. Emart, like I have said is almost like a walmart, but with not as evil, and this is the kind of food they serve in their little food court area. But it did not taste like food court food. It was delicious and a lot of food. I am not a big picture taker of food... but this was picture worthy. It was only 7500. I also had some ramen as a snack. I am just hungry.

School today was okay. Mondays are awesome in a way. I love that the students have so much energy. I just wish I could match it. I do not want to do anything that kills the energy... I think they need to start off the week strong. Yes, managing the classroom is a bit more difficult, but I am just excited to see the kids excited.
In my Greece class, one of the students noticed my green eyes. Everyone in the class had to come take a look. Green eyes are not really something you see everyday in Korea. Mostly brown or nearly black. It was funny how each students wanted to look into them. It was actually kind of an awesome/intimate experience with the students. I spend all day in the front of the class, towering over them. Or towering over them as I walk in the hall. Or I am looking over their shoulders. Not very often are the student and the teacher eye to eye inches apart. It was actually quite a cathartic experience for me. It is taking a step away from seeing them as students, and seeing them as people. Sometimes it is easy to forget that these students are so much more than just students. Looking in their eyes and seeing that hope, that vulnerability, excitement, pain, just everything. So, for the students, they may have just been entertained by looking at my green eyes; but for me, it was a moving experience. I have done that exercise before where you start into someones eyes. But doing it with my students, just really amazing. I wish I would have been fully present in the experience the whole time instead of trying to do it quickly so I could get back to teaching. But... I know these students, and I bet they will want to look at my eyes again.
Its amazing how quickly trash piles up in my apartment. What I need to do is get a trashcan for recycling instead of just making little stacks of stuff on the floor. I am too lazy to take my trash down and sort it. I need to be able to sort it before I take it down. I need to go try to find something to allow me to do this.
I wasted tonight. I do not know what I wasted it doing. But I do know that I wasted it. I did not study Korean. I did not clean. I did not go through the books for my Cartoon Network readings and edit them down. I need more hours in a day, and with those more hours, I need to be able to utilize them. There is so much I want to do, and I do so much of so much, but I never do enough of anything.
Okay, well I think I am going to call it quits for right now with this... I guess I may go get some food, though it is already late... It comes to the age old question... to eat, or not to eat. If I do not eat, I will go to bed hungry and thus it will be harder to sleep. If I eat it will give me energy and make it harder to sleep. I need to go shopping sometime to find healthy snacks for nighttime. Things that wont wake me up, but will still satisfy my cravings..
