Something unexpected came in the (e-)mail today.
Something that i had already resolved to forget. Or rather, resolved to keep latched up securely in a chest of memories, never to forget; yet, never to bring up again.
However, i didnt count on it to resurface by itself.
Six months have passed. To be exact, 164 days since 26th december 2008. Which makes that 3936 hours. Or 236160 minutes. Or 14169600 seconds.
That's a freaking amount of time.
But apparently it was barely enough to forget someone. Frankly, i am sometimes amazed by myself. I stand awed, at rare occasions, just reflecting on my stubbornness and the firm determination i equip myself with. Maybe its pure ignorance and stupidity on my part. For all i know, i may be slightly retarded. Which.. doesnt seem that bad.
If it can dull one's emotions and ability to miss someone.
ni hao weebee~
너 삐졌구나?!!ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
하여간 웃겨~~ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
미안하다~ 내가 연락이 한동안없었지~
지금은 예전에 weebee처럼 어학당에 다니고 있는데
9월달에 대학교에 들어가야해~
중국어 너무 어렵다....ㅠㅠ
지금 컴퓨터할시간도 없이 공부하고 있어~
정말로 조금만 있으면 weebee랑 중국어로 대화할수있을꺼 같아~
조금만 기다려~ㅎㅎ
그리고 너 삐진거같아서 사진보낸다^^
나 군대 있을때 사진도 있어~
너무 많이 웃지마~!ㅎㅎ
자주는 못하지만 가끔 연락할께~~
그리고 국제 전화 하는 방법을 잘몰라서 ㅡㅡ;;;
ㅋㅋ 조만간 연락할께~~
One of the attached files that came with it.. i kinda thought the overall shot was pretty good. Ok, it wouldnt hurt to admit that i chose this pic (over the rest) to put on the blog cos i liked his lanky frame in there. Lol.
If the post above projected a depressing feel, rest assured that reality is far from it. 164 days may be insufficient to obliterate him entirely from my memories but it was more than necessary for me to come to terms with it. I rarely feel dejected over this nowadays; its more of a dull throbbing ache that manifests now and then. In fact, im rather comfortable with the feeling: it being an old acquaintance that serves as a fond memory of the days i spent in korea.
Yesterday was the longest day i ever had at Readingtown. Was there at 9 to prepare for the morning program which was from 930 to 1230. That was followed by an hour of lunch break before i had chinese lessons with jiwoong. Ok i did have another free hour after that but the classes for the rest of the day were all full i.e. 3 students each.. That coupled with a whole pile of homework from the kids that i have accumulated.
Did i ever mention how much i hate marking?
Teaching is fine. But marking is like.. YUKES.
I was ready to collapse from exhaustion by 9 before my last class wrapped up for the day. -__-
