I had a blast this week at school. Nonetheless it's still a job. I am exhausted. Teaching wears you out. Luckily, I got to touch a basketball and shoot around yesterday after school. The downside is that the gym is very narrow (about 35 feet wide). It's, also, located on the third floor of the second wing of my school. It gets very hot up there. So, you have to open up the windows to keep it bearable. That makes things a little difficult. You have to chase your ball down every time you miss because it might bounce out the window. I was sprinting all over this small room. Nevertheless, running around, dribbling, shooting, practicing rejuvenated me! Until the clouds dumped on me last night.
Last night (Friday), I went out with 9 or 10 fellow native English teachers. Since not everyone has a cell phone and I do, I am currently the liaison for the teachers. Because the teachers don't know Incheon specifically Bupyeong, the bar area where I live, I found myself running around leading people to the 'Naori ban.' Unfortunately, during all this the clouds opened up and pissed about 2 inches of rain in a two hour period. My t-shirt, shorts, and socks were all soaked. I ran around in the rain looking like a wet dog. And I was loving it! Until I woke up today feeling like absolutely crap.
At least the Naori Ban was a blast. For those of you who don't know Naori Ban are karaoke bars where you can get a room and pack if full of your not so talented buddies. They don't have a lot of good American music but what they do have sufficed.(Billie Jean (my Korean theme song), Britney Spears and popular rock songs) Sadly, it is illegal for them to serve you beer. They are not supposed to serve you alcohol. BUT OH YES THEY WILL! They serve snacks and beer if you ask. I was eating apple slices, drinking underwhelming Hite, and singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'
Now, I just need to make the trip to Costco in Seoul. Maybe they have 1500 won hot dogs and jeans that fit me.
