Korea- Too boring

[Ideologue]

That call cost me $3! 

OH FU YOU DIDN'T MENTION IT WAS COSTING MONEY TILL 45 MINUTES IN AND I SAID I WAS SORRY!

And I think you mean 3378 quatloos.

But could you understand the yokel at all?

His accent wasn't that bad. I've heard much worse here, especially from teachers from England or Ireland.

We should change this thread title to "Korea- Not Going".

Chocolate covered Christ, Hunter...can you be any more reticent about getting this shit done?  No wonder you're washing dishes with a fucking J.D.

Timmay's trying to hook you up, and you're just bullshitting.  Get the fucking TEFL cert, get your fucking passport, and submit your FBI check.  All it is is a fucking fingerprint check.  Do it this fucking week.

Or, have the balls to tell Timmay you're not really interested.  He's retarded, but he's a big boy, he can take it.

I'm emailing the Korean coordinator right now, about setting up a Skype interview (you said we need video, Tim? she doesn't mention it specifically, but she does use the phrase "see [me]").

Jesus, dude, we started this, what, four days ago?  SORRY I AIN'T ON THE PLANE YET.

Also, I've been looking at the city I'll be living in, trying to figure out where shit is in relationship to everything else, and tomorrow I'm going to relearn my Hangul to make that process easier, so:

It's a town of about 40k, but it's a concentrated and dense 40k with two rail stations. There are two cities of 500k and one of 1million within 30 minutes by rail from Jochiwon. Seoul is 45 minutes by KTX, 90 by commuter rail.

All kidding aside, though, I'm actually getting kind of excited about it now.  It should be fun.  I'll be a soldier in the army of the Anglo-American monoculture, yet distant from actual Americans, and surrounded by Asian women.

When you think about it, it's like inviting me to live in my own personal Maslow's pyramid.

I was gonna ask, is it just the google satellite imagery, or is it really that brown?

Lot of farmland to the east.  Large structures on the south side of town--very tall, apartments?

Still plenty of time to freak out about the big massive changes this would involve in your life and back out. Or maybe that's just my thing.

He's moving at the speed of constipation.

Looks like most of the imagery is from March...so after snow melts and before trees get going on leaves.  Shit will be brown.

I JUST EMAILED THE COORDINATOR TO SET UP AN INTERVIEW.  GOD'S FUCKING WOUNDS.

Besides, Tim was all like, "Fuck it, you won't be able to start soon anyway," and I was like, "Yeah, there is the matter of the bar exam."  And then Tim was like--a few hours ago--"Hey guess what!  The other guy died or something so they're pretty desperate" and I was all "Oh shit, I guess this is real" and the Korean lady emailed me and I emailed her back even though it's two in the fucking morning in America and Money is going "LOLOLOLOLOL" like usual and now you're pretty much up to date.

I'm pretty sure there ain't no satisfying some of you people unless I teleported straight to Jochiwon and started yelling English phrases at terrified kids right now.

At least you'd be doing something.  Macht schnell, dammit.

Anyway, I wonder if my accent has actually improved since Yi met me.  Since I've been aware of it, I've been trying to minimize it, and if law school didn't do anything else, one might expect it improved my elocution.

Oh, well.  That's enough, I gotta get in some CK2 before I go to bed.  Duchy of Modena, take 27.

My guess: Ide will go to Korea, within 3 months of arrival start bitching how crap everything is, how he fails at it/social life and how this is a total waste of his time and that it will remove him even further from meaningful and gainful employment.
