A day in the life of a Pro.

I am sure many people wonder what it is that Go pros do on a day to day basis. Well, I seem to have some Idea, and I will share it with you...

Based on Diana Koszegi.

8:00 am: Woken up by the mailman, he is very happy to tell you, a foreign Baduk Pro, that you have mail from the Hanguk Kiwon. Your next tournament is announced.

8:33 am: Woken up by alarm clock, time to head to Oromedia.

(SPECIAL 9:13 am: Woken up by alarm clock, time for tournament. On tournament days, you usually go to Youngusil after the game when you finish to review)

9:25 am: Arrive at Oromedia. You were hired to work here because you are a western Pro, and you can speak English and Korean fluently. Although only 6 hours a week, you definitely studied your ass off learning Joseki, and solving life and death so that you can help someone write e-mails. But really you are helping reach out to all the different countries worldwide and Promote an international go scene.

1:00 pm Arrive at Youngusil. A Youngusil is a place where players, mostly pros, gather to study. Studying includes life and death, reviewing your recent games with your colleagues, reviewing others' games, and sometimes watching baseball, or board games.

6:00 pm Its food o'clock!

7:00 pm Back to studying, its funny that games are seldom played in the Youngusil. Even though there are sometimes league games, usually its just studying.

8:15 pm Arrive back home, and translate Korean baduk books. Perhaps some teaching online if you have students that day...while watching Baduk TV :)

11:00 pm Time for 10 sec blitz games on Cyberoro... and chatting on MSN with friends and family. Re-assuring your father that everything is good is an everyday necessity

Sleep at Random times...
