Top 10 Ways to Spend Deskwarming


How you feel the first two hours of deskwarming...
Okay, so many people do not enjoy deskwarming, I on the other hand, see it as getting paid for doing the things I would be doing if I were in the privacy of my own home. I haven't had to teach a formal class since the end of December.  I made it through a less than grueling winter camp an re-emerged just in time for graduation and my vacation to Southeast Asia. This week (the final week of school) I was asked to teach "fun classes" which included playing "would you rather" with students and watching Queen B perform at the superbowl. Since I have no 3rd or 2nd year classes this week, I literally am teaching 3 classes.

Enter deskwarming. Here is how I spend my time:
1. Facebook creeping on people I have little to no contact with in the real world
2. Writing angsty essays and submitting them to sketchy writing contests.
3. Catching up on "Girls" and "American Horror Story"
4.Planning the MESS out of my vacation, basically to the point where I will change all of my plans when I arrive.
5. Selling random things that I no longer need and non-existent items on craiglist.
6.Studying my Korean, which I only remember for about a day or two at a time.
7.Creating sassy Beyonce superbowl memes
8.Googling plane tickets for upcoming rugby events and live streaming the 6 Nations.
9. Adding items to my cart on I-herb/G-Market numerous times and then feeling guilty and cancelling my  order.
10.Dreaming about/skyscanning possible weekend trips outside of Seoul.

After week two of deskwarming...
What about you? What do you do with your desk warming time?
