I know it seems like I’ve dropped off the face of the earth, went to Mars and forgotten all about blogging but really I haven’t. I’m just busy. Yeah, every working professional’s excuse I know. And it’s true.
I got a new job at this Korean school, teaching Korean kids how to speak English. This is going to be my part-time job while I’m taking up Law. There are a lot of anecdotes that I wanted to share with you. But I can’t think of any funny one at the moment. Maybe next time.
My students have been all so cute and adorable. Some already left for Korea so I’m going to miss them. I started working part-time only this week because I have decided to begin compiling books for Law and reading them in the afternoons. So now I only work in the morning. I have been given the choice to not work altogether but that’s just not me. I know Law School is going to be tough but I just can’t imagine not working and being totally dependent on my family. And I need something to take my mind off Law school too. So it works out. Teaching is something that I really enjoy especially when my students are kids. I have to say I’m really happy with this job. Everyday feels like I’m just playing with them in the classroom. I really enjoy it!
Also, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my friends, going out and having fun. I like the fact that I don’t have to work on Saturday so I really get to enjoy my weekend. Of course, when October comes I have to go back to school and all the stress that comes with being employed and in school at the same time. I’ll see how far I can go. I really want to be good at Law school. It’s not like me to do anything mediocre. I’m too much of a perfectionist that way. Whew! It’s going to be hard and I’m just preparing myself as much as I can.
I’ve met a lot of friends at work. I like talking to them. They say they like talking to me because I don’t put on airs (Did I say that right?). A lot of them think that I have money because of my family. I don’t tell people my background because I really don’t think it’s relevant to the work that we do. I don’t want people to think that I have money because 1) It has been my experience that some people who pretend to be my friends are only my friends because of money. It’s a bad experience for me feeling like my “friends” ATM. 2) I don’t think I’m rich at all. It’s my parents, my family who has money. I don’t. It’s weird that people think of it as the same but it’s not. I see people in terms of what they have done individually rather than what their family has done or is doing for a living. Just because a person has a certain last name doesn’t mean that they have to be treated differently. I mean we’re just people struggling to have a good life. And some people struggle more than others. Some are more lucky. Some have been given more to work with. What I hate the most is the culture of pretending. I just wish people don’t have to be so pretentious and full of themselves. I don’t like that.
