i am actually giddy

happy, so happy! today i got my new schedule for the next semester. now the only real reason i resigned with my school was because they promised better hours, better pay, a month off, yada yada yada... but in the back of my head i always kinda expected the worse. but today, i got the new schedule, and it is exactly what it is supposed to be: 9:00 - 4:40 every day. every day. if i could show you the smile i had on my face when i saw it. and i get an hour off every day to prep for the night classes or run errands or actually try drawing again. i haven't had time to make a new sketch this whole last month. it's not all cupcakes and sugar mamas, though, i guess i have to start eating lunch with the kids now... it'll suck to miss out on that crucial 30 minutes of adult time everyday, but i'll live... ya'know, unless i start to choke and the kids aren't strong enough or have long enough arms for the heimlich. ohh, plus no more boring kid for the tutor. of course that means i bought the seeker, the dark is rising for nothing.
plus, all the people i have grown to like at work are leaving for greener pastures, leaving the people i'm at best ambivalent about. ugh, i hope the new group of teachers getting in this weekend rock, at least a little.
what else? um, my self improvement plan need a restart. on monday, i'll have to start playing guitar, sketching, working out, cooking for myself, and learning korean all over again. after all, i only have at least 13 more months here in korea. if i do stay another year, it will definitely have to be out of the city. po-hang, busan, jeju- i hear you calling me... you just have to wait 13 months... of course if i move to anyone those places, i really will have to learn at least a 2nd grader level of korean.
that's about all from this side of the pacific, i'll try to make sure to do more than 2 posts a month from now on
good god! what's that?

suckas

Hey hey hey

hey, i got a new link to show off and some new pictures. i'll be making a real post soon enough, but i am tired of working on the computer right now. besides, i don't want to distract you from my sketches- i know, i know: everybody has friends that can draw better than that with their eyes closed- i do as well. but, i have only just recently begun to be able to draw above a second grade level. now i just have to learn not to be so wobbly with my pencil... oh and become a rich artist... though even talented artists have a hard time doing that...
