Sleeping with the fan on

I played basketball with a bunch of 12 year olds today. They were as bad as I am. There was a kid who was bothering me when I was in the park chatting with Yun Jung, and when the battery died on my laptop and we said goodbye (which takes 5 minutes sometimes), I said to the kid "wanna play some basketball" in Korean. He got happy and we shot around for while.

Then he wanted to drive to the basket. This kid came up to about my waist, so I let him get it over my head and steal it from me. More kids started to come over, and I think at one point it was 6-on-1. It was all in good fun, though. Several ajummas were watching from time to time and at one point an ajoshi joined in, too. It was a lot of fun.

The kids were from about ages 6-13, I would guess. It quickly degenerated into the basketball equivalent of trying to smash your friends' fingers with pool balls when you get tired of playing 9 ball. It was fun, and there were only one or two minor injuries and almost no blood.

Then I slept for the whole afternoon to make up for not sleeping on Friday night (and then going out again on Saturday) and I haven't been productive all day. I have been meaning to study, but I think I get my best studying done at the hagwon between classes. I'll have lots of time tomorrow to study.
