So I have to do a mid-term report for Fulbright, which is due by the end of the month. I'm wondering what they'll ask, and how much I'll actually tell them.
"Sometimes I think Korea has reduced me into a blubbering little crybaby. I don't know if I'll ever be the same."
"I'm pretty sure I'm the worst and least qualified ETA teacher you've ever accepted to your program."
"Extra-curricular activities? By that do you mean watching as much English TV and as many English movies on my computer as humanly possible, to give myself a break from the Korean I hear all day?"
No, that's probably not what I'll write. I'll probably write something more like
"This has been an incredibly valuable personal experience so far, and I look forward to being able to look back on a year where I learned not only about Korea, but about myself as well."
And it won't be entirely B.S..

You could always do what historians do and avoid questions on topics until many years later, when you have a "better view" on the situation, i.e. when details become foggy and no one cares.
oh darling i see the bummybummyness. you DO do great extracurricular activities. how many etas can say they played in an orchestra? you also do yoga to a korean instructor. i think that's saying something that you can do these regular things abroad.
