Flat.

Now that I'm getting settled in to this teaching thing it's become very lovely. My life is pretty simple over here almost like college except instead of spending my Dad's money I tend to make a little for myself. My work hours are exceptional for an new twenty-four year old. I stroll into work somewhere around 4pm and class starts at 5:35. Depending on what day of the week it is I have a couple 45 minute breaks or one hour long break. Class ends at 10:45, so usually I can be seen walking out the lobby doors somewhere around 11pm. I don't know why I just mentioned all this...I'm probably bragging or something.

I can proudly say that I have read two novels since I have been in Korea. Sideways by Rex Pickett and The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Both were excellent. Now if I were going to choose just one to include in my proverbial stranded on a desert island library it would be Sideways. It has the same quality of the movie that it spawned in that it is immensely entertaining and engrossing the first time and gives the reader (or viewer) the urge to have the experience again. Now I haven't yet made the leap into its pages a second time, but rest assured I will. The Road is a post-apocalyptic story of a man and his boy traveling through the wasteland. It's very good, short and gripping, but I dare not call it great as many have. Both I would recommend, I will not bore you anymore with details. Suffice it to say that I enjoyed the novels and that should be enough to send you to your local bookstore.

That's enough.
