Spontaneous Combustion

Another example of how spontaneous the Koreans are:
Fred gave a presentation to President Chun about a school he would like to open in Dubai last night. Pretty interesting, it's a nursing school. Today he has classes all day and tonight is a big event for his class. In his freshman management class he had them coordinate a party.
But late last night after the Dubai presentation the president ask him to give a lecture to all the faculty about leadership. I forget the exact topic, but he agreed and has done such seminars many times. Still, the night before he was asked to give a presentation to 40 faculty members on leadership at 7:30a.m. So, he had to wake up at 2a.m. to prepare for the presentation and his classes.
This is an everyday occurrence. Little planning. They like spontaneity not set written schedules. This is why I will tend to hide out. While it can keep things interesting, I do not want to be caught up in any more responsibilities. Not to sound irresponsible, I know if I hang around they will continually change my schedule. Since one my classes ends next week and Fred Dalili is leaving they are likely to ask me to continue my class for another month. Despite me being prepared to give my final exam Thursday, they would still do that.
Things are laid back here, not very stressful. It's just funny.
