Twilight Zone


Recently, I've felt like I'm in The Twilight Zone. Every week here in Korea is flying by. I see my students once per week for 50 minutes. Every time I see them, I think, didn't I just see you? Has it been a week already?

The perception of time passing is interesting. When you are miserable, time drags. When you are happy or you are busy/in a routine, time flies.

The third condition, you are busy/in a routine, is what I think is happening with me. My week is packed with activities on such a tight schedule that everything is happening in a blur. I certainly don't want the opposite, life to drag, but I've got to get things into perspective. I've got to see through the blur.

In about 4-5 weeks, my school will go into the summer intensive schedule, which means a 4 day work week instead of a 6 day work week. Although it also means 10 classroom hours per day. If the schedule is arranged like it was in winter intensive, then we will get 3 days off in a row. That would be nice. I would be able to travel a bit in Korea, which is something I've not done yet.
