I Will Be Fluent In Korean

Monday was such a pointless day, I had no classes because it was evaluation day, I had no co-teacher because she took a day off, so I literally sat in my office all day and watched movies/TV shows. I know, I lead such a rough life. I also researched Taipei, since Nicole and I are heading there next weekend. Anyways, Monday night I went to Inha University to start my first Korean lesson with Enee's friend. Her degree in University is in Teaching Korean as a Foreigner Language, so I figured she would be good at it. It was pouring rain all day and I didn't have an umbrella with me. Since, Enee goes to Inha every Monday I would have gotten a ride from her, but she wasn't at school, so I had to bus. Well, I decided to walk to the meeting spot and without an umbrella...DUMB IDEA!! By the time I met with Enee and So Min I was drenched and getting stared at/laughed at by University students. We ate some dinner and then headed to campus. So Min had to visit a professor first, so I met Enee's English grad school professor and hung out for the first part of her class while I waited for So Min to finish. When we finally started our lesson I was nervous because speaking Korean makes me nervous. So Min kept assuring me that I was good at speaking Korean and that I shouldn't be nervous, but I was. Let me just say this, learning a second language is damn hard, especially one that writes in character and backwards to English. When our lesson finished Enee drove me home, which was nice and she let me borrow an umbrella. I showered as soon as I walked in the door because I was wet from earlier and then I passed out. Tuesday was a busy day at school. I had five grade 6 classes to teach and that is never fun. After school I was suppose to meet up with Carolina, but she was sick, so had to cancel. Instead I went for a walk. I ended up in Nicole's neck of the woods, so she joined me for a walk and even walked me all the back home. Wednesday was a slower day with only four grade 6 classes. I spent the afternoon doing the same thing I do every afternoon I have no classes, watching TV, face booking, etc. After school I went with Enee to Inha for my second Korean lesson. So Min got confused and didn't realize we were also meeting Wednesdays, so she didn't show up until around 6:30, which was fine because that is when Enee's class started, so I wan't stuck alone at the University. Our second lesson wasn't as long as the first one, but we did a lot. I have so much studying to do if I expect to be anywhere close to fluent in Korean. I promised myslef I would study for at least 2 hours a day though, so if I stick to that promise it may happen. After my lesson I met up with my friend Karen across the street from the University because there are loads of restaurants, coffee, shops, hofs, etc. We walked around for a bit and I felt bad because poor Karen is on crutches. We finally decided on a chicken place, so we ordered some chicken and a beer each. The chicken was probably the best I've had in Korea to date. We hung there for about an hour and chatted before heading to Baskin Robbins for some ice cream. We parted ways just after 10 p.m., but lucky me Nicole was at the University helping a mutual Korean friend with his resume, so we walked home together. I didn't end up getting home until just before midnight, but the walk felt good and the exercise was necessary.
