Not much new

It's been pretty much business as usual here.  Online classes are fun... I have the power... the power of MUTE!  Hehehe.  Otherwise, I'm still pretty much staying home on the weekends.  I'm bummed because the Daegu Lantern Fest was supposed to be this weekend, but it's been cancelled due to Corona.  Some of my coworkers are keeping an eye on the new cases and stuff... I'm not too bothered by it.  I'm just hoping that my June trip can go on as scheduled.  Also I'm getting a refund since the city of Daegu cancelled the fest, so woot! 

Personally speaking, J and her aunt both have commented on how I'm much better now.  So did my counselor.  I'm not sure if the hurts are really healed or just dormant right now, but either way I'm feeling SO MUCH better than I was.  Now to keep everything from building up to self-destructive proportions.  I still get frustrated when the kids refuse to do what I tell them to, then I have to tell myself to take a breath, relax, and move on.  It's not a reflection of my abilities to teach, it's a reflection of the kid's attitude and unwillingness to be there.  As for the rest, well, it's been a welcome break from dealing with the kids in the classroom, trying to date, going out and making stupid decisions, figuring out how relationships stand... yeah, no wonder I let it get out of control before.  I do have to laugh at myself - a least 2 friends know how to make me excited for a Friday night: suggesting pizza, movies, and beverages.  It's almost cheesy shark movie watching season and T just sent me The Meg!!!  CHEESY JASON STATHAM FUNNESS!!!!

I just wanted to give you a small update, 2 posts a week is pretty much my jam, so even though I don't have anything earth-shattering to share, I figured it would be good to keep you updated.  From the "I'm a horrible human" archives - I'm kind of hoping that a lot of the cancelled concerts will be postponed until next year and I'll be able to go to some of them.  Sigh... I'm a mercenary at heart.  Also because I know you guys like to see pictures - here is some of my artwork.  LOL - 35 years old and sending Mom pix of my coloring book. 

OH - in other news, I had to print and mail my damn taxes, so I HAVE to figure out how the Korean Post Office works.  I'm soooooo annoyed.  The reason?  H&R Block's drop-down menu for country only had this as an option - "Korea, Republic of (South)" and the error: "country can only have spaces and letters - no special characters."  I CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN IT'S DUE TO A DROP-DOWN MENU!!!!  Annoyance level - grumblings of Vesuvius.  So I have to get an envelope and go to the post office and pray that someone there speaks English.  Stupid stupids of drop down menus... who would choose North Korea as an option anyway, can't you just SAY "South Korea" instead of all this technical crap... grumble, grumble... taxes for (the) 2022 (tax year) will be SO much easier... yay for W2 in ENGLISH (slight guilty feeling about not learning Korean).

Much love to you who made it this far.  MUAH!  :*
