Castaway

Not going to be a long one tonight because I'm in a bit of a mood and not the type of mood that would even lead to a rant and possibly make for good reading. Finally went to the hospital today and the result was a long wait, a full-leg temporary cast and a W300,000 bill before I've eve seen a specialist (Friday morning). Wasn't as impressed with Seoul National University Hospital this time. Added to the fact that I'll have to take time off for my next appointment, this is proving to have been a very expensive kick-about. I guess you can't live life thinking that way though...

Classes are going fine and I really love teaching during the day. The students are more enthusiastic too so it's best for everyone. I'm going to struggle to be as active in the classroom as I normally am but hopefully the classes won't lose too much intensity. I might have to re-think a lot of activities. Probably the more physical ones will have to fall by the wayside for now. Ideas more than welcome...

I doubt that I'll be watching South Korea's crunch match against Nigeria tonight (kick-off is 3.30am here) but I might stay up for Mexico V Uruguay (two teams SK might meet should they qualify for the next round). Portugal looked great last night and I was fairly impressed by the highlights I saw of the Spain match, even though it is still far from clear whether or not they will qualify. Amazingly, Switzerland only need to beat Honduras by more than one to make it through..

Alright I'm going to call it a day at that. Before doing so I'd like to recommend a great blog I came across on Korean football. Seems as though I'll be having plenty of reading time over the next few weeks... Oh how I hate being dependent...
