I'm debating exactly what to write today (or should I write at all?) Lots of momma's everywhere, throughout the ages have been saying, "Now if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Shall I follow their time-tested, tried-and-true advice, or throw caution to the proverbial wind and spill my equally proverbial guts?
Heads, I spill my guts. Tails, I follow the mommas' advice.
Heads it is. Spill it is. However, it will be spilling restrained.
Well....basically, I'm just very frustrated. I'm no stranger to my new job, as far as the job itself is concerned. I'm new to this school, and I'm new to Korea. I'm new to these people, but people are the same everywhere--good and bad, funny and not-so-funny, etc. SO, I'm just frustrated because I feel like there's so much that I need to know, but there's no way for me to know it. There's no handbook or guidelines in writing to tell me If "A" happens, do "THIS"...and so on. I'm also frustrated because this cell phone--which at first I thought was a great idea--has been ringing off the hook. I finally understand why my brother screens calls. I'm frustrated because the dorm I'm living/working in, and which now houses twenty high school boys, is incomplete, and currently insufficient. There's water leaking all over the floors from the roof, and it's a brand SPANKIN' new building!! How 'bout them apples?
Anyways....this is therapy for me, so don't read into it too, too much.
Beat down but hopeful.....DREW
P.S. I'm very suspicious of the guy that just came to sit next to me at the internet cafe. He pretends to be playing a game, but I KNOW he's just sitting here to see what the big white guys is writing. Funny.

Wow, an honest assessment if i ever heard one. Do not be dismayed: He's only designed your dross to consume, your gold to refine. Trite and true (haha, play on words).
This morning I broke into tears upon hearing a chorus of international voices singing praises to God alone. There is nothing more beautiful than an American stepping out of the Amercan sense of self-centricity to live out the Gospel in the rest of God's great world. You are living a high and noble calling, how funny that that should be true when you're wading in the muck! Be encouraged: your sacrifice is working in eternity a far greater weight of glory.
Anyway, I don't think you meant to be quite so serious, and neither did I, I'm just full of excitement (translate: DRAMA!) at the moment. Forgive.
I hope things start looking up, and yes, I did learn about The Fire Theft from my sister, and she did give you honorable mention. Never fear! She learned that skill when she started stealing my clothes and I told her she could wear whatever she wanted as long as she told anyone who complimented her that the garment actually belonged to me.
Hey Drew....
I hope that therapy worked, and I hope you find people who can give you backrubs whenever you want them.?Oh by the way, aren't you supposed to punish (ex.?Beat the snot out of) the kids who speak Korean in your dorm??? Anyway, tell me what the guy next to you did after you wrote the PS.
oh man. i hope that the situation is remedied quickly so that you can be joyful once again.
in the meantime, as the water leaks, grab an umbrella and set your camera to capture your dismay. then later, you will get a good laugh.
this, too, will pass. what seems for the present to be a test will make you stronger.
aaah, asia. hang in there.
kill'em...kill'em all!!!!
