waiting kills.

I need a life.

Really.

I do.

As soon as it hits 8pm and is 9am over in Korea, I compulsively check my email in hopes of getting my placement. About every 5 minutes. Even when i KNOW that its going to be about a week until I hear anything. And before its 8pm...I sit there and count down the time until it is 8pm. I need to stop. But at this point, there's not much going on in my life to distract me. When I'm working I'm either sitting in an office at a computer...checking my email every 3 seconds, or I'm on dispatch where I have to be on campus...aka in my room checking my email every 3 seconds. Help.

I also feel like I've run into a roadblock with my research about Yeosu. Most of what I can find I've already read, or it just talks about the 2012 World Expo. There are only so many articles you can read about kimchi or why its NEVER ok to write someone's name in red. I guess I could focus all of this time and energy into actually learning how to speak Korean.

Don't get me wrong, I'm wicked excited to learn the language, as you can tell from my other post. You just need to take it with a grain of salt. Its really hard. Plus there is no teacher to help me and its way too easy to look in the back of the book at the answers. Not to mention I study at my computer so I can listen to the dialogues on CD, and guess how often I take a break to check my email for the message that I KNOW won't be there. Yup, approximately every minute or so.

I'M SO UNPRODUCTIVE.

Even right now. Tonight. I've been sitting in the office since 6pm. What have I done? The usual facebook, twitter, fmylife, textsfromlastnight, 59 games of bubble spinner, watched Knowing...oh yeah, and I checked my email 209438762093486 times! All while if I turn my head slightly to the right I see my Korean book. Mocking me. I even brought index cards to the office so I could practice vocabulary. I guess in the last 15 minutes of my shift I can pull it together enough to make a few flash cards instead of ranting and raging like this.

Ok. I can do this.

Here I go.






Right after I check my email.
