The reason I haven't been blogging lately is because I don't yet have Internet access in my apartment. Also, I've been extremely busy. I'm teaching 45 hours a week; add in prep time and I'm working about 55-60 hours. Add in showers, meals, transportation time, and the like, and I'm busy at least 16 hours a day, every weekday. I'm peaking at 5 hours of sleep a night during the week. During the weekends, I try to relax and recover.
Despite this schedule, I've managed to remain (mostly) happy and healthy. That said, the honeymoon period is over and I've begun to feel the effects of homesickness. Culture shock happens to everyone and I was aware of its phases before I came, so whenever I feel down, I pick up a book and escape to another world. So far, it's worked well.
I haven't been following the news lately, besides cursory glances at the Korea Herald and the New York Times website. What I've been reading, though, hasn't been encouraging. I've become increasingly concerned about the US economy, and by extension international markets. Maybe, if I have time next weekend, I'll write about my reasons. For now, though, I'll have to leave it at that.
