It can be good to get out of the house.
I went to work for a few hours. That part… wasn't so great. I was trying to prepare some lesson plans for next week, and doing a little bit of correcting. But when I left work, I decided to stop by my friend Curt's hagwon, down the road a few blocks. On the way, I ran into my former student Tom, who talked to me excitedly of his Ubuntu-Linux install. In a country that's 99% Microsoft, Tom has the distinction of having successfully installed Linux on his home PC, partly at my suggesting. He and another boy I had had while back had become very excited to learn that I knew a small amount about computers and especially Linux, and we had had some conversations about it before.
At the Karma Academy, Curt's new hagwon (that he's trying to start from scratch, basically), I chatted with him a bit, and with his daughter too, who's about 6 or 7, and is very shy about trying to speak English – so she gives me opportunities to practice Korean. Then Curt's daughter went home with his wife and he and I had dinner together. All kind of dull to recount, but I felt more content than I have in a while chatting with him about the hagwon biz and hanging out.
So anyway. Good to get out of the house.
