A good friend of mine once said, "You can always tell how busy I am by the state of my room. Left with little to do, things usually have a way of cleaning themselves up. On the run, things are often thrown to disarray."

K, well, I may be paraphrasing a bit, but I'm sure Laura wouldn't mind too much. The point being.....god how I wish things were a bit more scattered for me right about now. Left with two whole days free and hardly any aqcuaintances yet, I found myself wondering around the apartment cleaning anything and everything. My roommate, as diligent he is about lifting weights, working out, and doing cardio, seems to be a bit uninstructed in the arts of basic cleaning, as of yet. Two weeks living there, and I guess a little of my mother (and boredom) was bound to come out sometime.
So, as you can imagine, this weekend hasn't been the most interesting. I keep meaning to just go out and see things, but it's that damn hour subway ride into Seoul and knowing that I'd be wondering around by myself that hold me back. It's bizarre, cuz normally it being just me is what I'd prefer. I've just been craving a "real" conversation these last couple of days, more than anything else. What I would give to have Saramanda here to babble with me about absolutely nothing and everything while going from one thing to another without even having to pause. I guess that's what two years with somebody does to ya.
Matt, my roommate for now, is nice, but he seems a bit more reflective than I'm used to. Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely nothing wrong with yoga (hell I'm trying it), but there are times when I just need a wall to fire things off of and he's not doing it for me. He's only home sometimes (when he's not out with various Korean women.....whole different story there) and when he is he's not exactly the listening type. He's really good with the kids at school, but I've noticed over these last couple of weeks that he seems to think a little much of himself. It's ok hearing about someone elses life and daily happenings (ie: how much yoga he's done or weight he's lifted), but it would be nice at times to also have them listen/appear interested in what you have to say. I get the feeling he'd be a little out of sorts if he weren't the one always in control and at attention. He's just not Sara, I guess. This is coming out a bit bitchy though. We do actually get along, just don't exactly have a whole lot (obviously) to talk about.

I do have some good news. Choi, our boss was talking to Matt and Joe the other day and he mentioned again about looking for a house for all 4 of us foreign teachers. He mentioned it too me, but I wasn't sure how serious he was. He must be though, to also mention it too them. It'd be pretty cool though cuz I'm sure the place would have to be pretty big by Korean standards to have 4 bedrooms. We should know soon though if it'll happen though, cuz Nadiya's coming back in 2 weeks and that's around when we would move. Either way, I'll be going somewhere. I can't stay in Nadiya's room once she returns. The only pain will be moving, but at least they'll help again with that.

....over and out.....

Oh...and Ann.....Kazaa's a program you can download to your pc to be able to download MP3s. It's great for listening to new stuff, but also great for making fun cds! Hope that helps.
