NO INTERNET!!!!( for a week)

self-denial does wonderful things. i've realized that 90-95% of what i do on the internet is wasting my time. so i'm curious how i'll feel without it.

i issue this challenge to everyone. try to do zero internet for one week. no msn, no skype, no email, or blog, no facebook, no wikipedia or anything else.

obviously this may be pretty much impossible for some people who may rely on the internet for their job, in which case your internet-less week can have adjustments to the extent that all internet use is limited to only the absolutely necessary. call friends on the phone instead of email for that one week. who knows it could be better.

i was convinced i need to do this for several reasons. these are two of them:

and...

ze frank - procrastination


if you really really don't want to do this, maybe that's all the more reason to do it. when you're finished tell me if you accomplished anything more. if not, then maybe it's just me that needed it.

My students asked me yesterday what are some English swear words. I said I won't tell them, but i'll give them euphemisms.

i wrote:
F___ = frig
C___= ?
S___=shoot
A______= a - hole

although i found it hard to believe that these kids didn't know at least the first one yet.
i warned against these words, but they were actually able to figure the first one out on their own.
so then they asked me what it meant. these kids were around 13, so i figured they knew this as well. so i said, sex figuring that it translated to korean since koreans also say sexy. they didn't know what sex was. i quickly moved on to the next topic. i really didn't want the parents calling the school and asking why i was teaching about swear words, and i really didn't want them calling asking why i was teaching about sex.

just so you know, i typically will not delve into words and ideas like that, but this is an open class, meaning that the kids don't even have books. my role is to facilitate discussion, and it was an interesting discussion. i asked why do people laugh when people swear. etc.

anyway, later i was talking to a friends girlfriend, and i asked her when she learned where babies came from. she said she was 17. i asked her where she thought they came from before that, she said she thought a couple just held hands, and then the girl became pregnant.

hmmm, i think they kinda taught this stuff to me when i was in grade 6. i remember seeing a video of a baby being born when i was in grade 9.

If there's anyone that still reads this blog, i need suggestions. I was looking at other peoples blogs, and i discovered that i suck at taking pictures. as a simple fact, i just don't.

my request to you, tell me to take a picture of something, and i'll see if i can oblige.


i'm in korea right now, so maybe ideas stemming in that nature. or just simply pictures of feet. i either way.

no rules. but if it's a stupid or ridiculous picture idea i won't take it.
