Hi all
Well, another week has gone by, and I find myself sitting here, staring at the computer and trying to accomplish a task I don't really want to accomplish. I have to have two plays ready for tomorrow, so that the students can start rehearsing them. They're for something called the "English Festival", which will eventually be some kind of a showcase/school concert kind of a thing for the English House students. The problem is that I don't have the brainpower to write two plays, but I still feel like I should. Anyhow, I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and use a couple that I have from an educational website. I just need to edit them a little (they were written by people whose first language was Korean) and they should be good to go. I dunno. With my poor numb brain lately, even such a simple task seems like a monumental undertaking.
On the upside, Crista's been home since Wednesday night, so we've just been relaxing and basically not trying to accomplish anything (which may have something to do with why I can't get these plays taken care of). It's nice, since she's been gone for a month. The house is a bit of a state, and there are a million things to do, but the panic generally bubbles away somewhere below the surface...
Speaking of things to do, we only have 7 weeks left in Korea. Very scary. So little time, and the mountain of things to do is intimidating. Have to get ready to live in Canada again. Have to get songs finished so that we can record the new CD. Have to get Crista registered at university. Have to put out feelers for an apartment in St. John's...
But anyhow, can't dwell on that right now. In fact, I shouldn't be typing here at all. I should be working, and so I shall, since I still want to watch an episode of Star Trek before bed (have I mentioned it's 2am?). Argh. Do you know what it's like when the world is revving up all around you, but your brain seems to be stuck in neutral?
Take care

I know exactly that feeling. I can't believe your time there has gone so quickly. Good luck with the plays. I haven't decided on a guitar yet. I'm kind of leaning towards a keyboard now. I'm back to work Tuesday. Can't believe the summer (or lack of it) has gone by so quickly.
You've got a full plate, as usual. Breath, relax and do.
you 'll leave in Korea and move to Canada ? wou...
hope have wonderful days of remain@in Korea.
Korean and japanese were similar on face..
how deserted Korean student of you../Naomi
I feel that, as I rarely (if ever?) comment on your blog, I should say one thing:
you strike me as a good person. Thank you for being kind.

You write plays? That's awesome. I read like, 5 plays a month. Seriously, I love theatre stuff. What do you do in Korea?
"""Do you know what it's like when the world is revving up all around you, but your brain seems to be stuck in neutral?""" .... All to well... I spend most of my time in neutral while I watch the world wizz by me in a flash. I used to call it "laid back" now I have to see it for what it really is WITH ME--- I am lazy... I am dreamer- I'd rather dream that things will get done without lifting a finger- thats just me though...
Get back to work!!! heheh
) It helps me to breath through this kind of feeling, and make a list of small accomplishments- that I can check off- one at a time as I get them done- rather then feeling overwhelmed by the multitude of everything I need to get done- kind of like a to do list- but for me- its more like prioritizing what I need to get do0ne- and then distributing the time a little wiser for having done so.
Have a great week. It will all work out
seems the last few years for me have gone by too fast and without my consent so i know of what you speak! hope all goes well with your last days and moving back.
why did you move to korea anyway? i mean, did you just decide to take the plunge or is there some kind of work you're doing there? curious..
You are insecure about Crista entering into this weblog domain. I can tell.
