Things learnt in an ordinary week

#1 I sleep badly when I didn't have enough food. Even if I'm dead tired.
#2 I know nothing about my sleeping habits. Being tired is certainly no criteria for sleeping well.
#3 Try as you may, you ain't gonna change that fast. (By "fast" I mean a period of, say, a week.)
#4 Sometimes you do change though but it goes so slowly you hardly even notice it yourself until someone tells you something about you and you're like: "hey, what, this is me? when did that ever happen?", but then, the longer you think about it, you realize it's true.
#5 I want to live in an urban city. I never left province; though I gradually moved to larger cities.
#6 I want to teach but I don't want to have students to talk back at me. Or rather: I only want nice students and motivated students and smart students but not the precocious kind who are gonna be testing out their limits like fucking three-year-old toddlers in the midst of their terrible twos.
# 7 I'd rather be 95% dictatorial teacher, 5% buddy teacher; right now, it's the other way around and I have to laugh about my 5% Kim Yong-Il.
# 8 I can write and work more or less 24/7; no problem. The problem is stopping again. So that's why they say workaholic. I think I preferred cigarettes as an addiction, thank you.
