I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, but I guess, no one, no matter what country you are living, is exempt from waiting for the cable guy to arrive! I’ve noticed, over the last few days, that the business day doesn’t really get started here until 9am; even the pharmacy isn’t open til 9. So, when I was getting up and ready this morning I anticipated the cable guy sometime on or around 9am. Not so much. It’s 11am and there’s still no sign of the cable guy. I’ve even checked out in the hall several times, whenever I’ve heard the elevator stop at my floor, but still no one. There’s not a lot you can do when waiting for the cable guy. I don’t live in a house any more, where I can find something to do. I don’t have Internet, yet, and so that’s out, I obviously can’t watch television, hence waiting for the cable guy. I’ve run out of reading material and I know that as soon as I leave the apartment, he’ll show up-it’s the cable guy law-he doesn’t show up all day and as soon as you leave he shows up! I really would like to get to work as today, I was going to be given materials for my class and go over curriculum with my director and my Korean teaching partner, Lindsay. Being the first teacher to arrive has it’s advantages. I was able to choose the subject that I wanted to teach and was given first pick at the age group I wanted as well. I’ll be teaching the 7 year olds social sciences. The school officially opens on February 23rd. Being here early gives me an opportunity to adjust and not feel so rushed and discombobulated once school does begin. I’m giving the cable guy til noon…
