The dream is over

Sunday night and work tomorrow. Kiri Teacher will be returning. And I'm so god damn nervous it's horrible.

In my month holiday I have completely forgotten, and lost, the headspace of teaching. I'm hoping 'cool' and 'fun' Kiri Teacher will return quickly this week.

Unfortunately I'm not working the afternoon hours I thought I was for the first month, instead doing 9.30am till 1.30pm. So I don't even have tomorrow morning to 'psyhc up' for the teaching. It's just wake up, get there and straight into it.

The kids will like me though. I bought lots of lollies (candy) on the way back from dinner tonight. I will bribe them. Oh, they will like me. Even if they do end up fat.

Being back is all a little surreal to be honest. Feels strangely normal, but somewhat out of place at the same time. It is awesome to see everyone though, and it has been fun catching up with everyone and with all of their news.

It is somewhat great to be back. There are some great things about Seoul that I forgot. Namely how cheap this place is. Been out for dinner each night I've been back and I seriously forgot just how cheap it can be. And how good the food is.

Would love to say that I've been out drinking and partying, but no, not really. First night back I caught up with Ali and Browna, had some drinks and visited the Anyang local, Psycho, but that's been the extent of it. It appears my tummy is up to its usual Seoul tricks and rejecting most things. I'm just hoping it isn't going to be the same ordeal as last year when I got here. Anyhows...

First day back at work tomorrow. Nothing seems to scream "HOLIDAYS OVER" more than the prospect of work. Mind you I washed my hair for the first time in 2 weeks... that kind of gave me a small indication I had to get more serious about things.

Yeah, my hair's clean, my fringe is back... my holiday's over.
