Wake up around 5:45 a.m. Hit the alarm until 6 a.m. Take some vitamins. Eggs in the frying pan. A few cigarettes. Make sure I've got my USB stick of class materials. Leave around 7:30 a.m. to get to work at 7:40 a.m. Pick up two large cups of black original Dunkin Donuts coffee on the way.

Wake up around 4:30am (can't sleep these days), logon to Dave's, drink mizu-powder drink, chase mosquitoes, smoke+++++, dump, leave at 8 am. Fight traffic. Arrive at wails of "Hellooooo". "Teacher, candy!" OK give me ten push-ups. 1,2,3,4,...10. "Teacher, one more time!" One ten year old kid did it 7 times. I've never done 70. (65 was needed to pass the physical)

wake up at 6:30am. Take a long piss. shave my face using the foam from a bar soap (old school style). take a shower. Spend 20 minutes deciding what I will wear to school. Skip breakfast and do the 2 minute walk to public school. Bow at every teacher and student I come across. Go to the teachers room where I have my morning apple and insta-coffee of my choice. It's either coffee or nestea mix for me. I then book up my school computer and check to see if there are any interesting posts on Dave's before going to class.

Wake up at 5:00am. Shower. Take pills. Do hair and make-up. Get dressed. Leave at 5:45, walk to the bus stop and take the bus to the station. Train leaves at 6:15am. Take the train. Walk to work, stopping along the way to get breakfast and coffee. Get to work around 7:30am.

That's ideal, but sometimes I'm too tired and I get a later train.

Wake up at 730 AM with an alarm that plays a 30 minute Korean lesson. I pause it somewhere a few minutes in and go to the kitchen to drink about 500ML of water fresh from the tap. I grab a large cup of coffee, some walnuts, a bowl of frozen blueberries, and sometimes leftover meat like turkey breast and eat it while finishing the lesson.

After that is done, I head to the bathroom and do my duty (unless I had to really bad already), brush my teeth, floss, shave (some days) and either take a jacuzzi bath or a shower. Then I get dressed and start my day. If it's clear out, I might follow all this up with a walk around the fields behind my house.

I get up 7:40 jump in the shower for 15 minutes, or 5 minutes if I needed a shit. Dry myself, get dressed, drink a cup of green tea the missus has made and leave for school by 8:05 and arrive at school 8:20.

I can't imagine getting up as early as all you lot, I prefer an extra 10 minutes in bed to even eating breakfast.

Wake up at 6. Meander around a bit till I wake up. Eat some cold rice with kimchi and seaweed. Out the door by 6:30. Get to school at 8. Watch the teachers punish the kids for having hair a centimeter too long. Spend 10 minutes watching the group exercises with my morning coffee. Brush my teeth, print out all my materials. Start teaching at 8:20.

Wake up at 7:40, go to the bathroom and wash my face and put contacts in, skype back home while I make my bagel, hang up, throw on some clothes and a bit of makeup, then walk to school.

Get up at 7, spend a half hour in a stupor nibbling on whatever there is to eat and maybe having a cigarette. Shower, iron clothes and put them on. Stumble downstairs to find someone has parked in front of the alcove where everyone keeps their bikes for the umpteenth time, but that's OK cause I scratch up his fender trying to get my 11 year piece of crap motorcycle out through a barely wide enough opening. Curse my way to school in a flurry of morning Korea traffic either actively trying to kill me or pretending I don't exist. Wash rinse repeat.

Are we in a relationship or is this a common male behaviour?
