W Curve

Today was Monthly Test Day for me! There is only 2 times of the month I hate. Monthly Tests are on of them. I think I will be scrutinized by Mr. J for a problem with the test. He will find something negative to say.

After yesterday I don't give a shit anymore what I do. I am running rampant in the Academy. And I feel like a horse freed from its strings. I am leaving the master writhing in despair at yet again my malpractices. I will be the first to admit that I am not a good teacher. Working here doesn't give you much aspiration to become a good teacher but my Sojourn here will not detour my ambitions of becoming a better teacher down the road.


Happenings or points of interest:

First the Title: The W curve is a Geographical method of accessing Cultures. Its a tool used to talk about Culture Shock. I analyzed the kids ability to change or adjust to me and well there is absolutely none of it in the 10 months I have been here.

TC2: Sweated and Toiled through the test. I dont think they passed it as probably too hard. I honestly don't see it as my problem because I covered the concepts and told them multiple times what to expect.

TD2: cheated, complained and sweated. The girl who has been absent all month did the best too. She didnt say a word. How can Mr. J blame my teaching when the people who don't come to my class do better? Its insane.

TD1: At one point I thought this was the best class in the Academy. The effects of March have made it my worst class. The kids listen to my lecture the same lecture for nearly a month and they don't ask questions. They don't learn from it at all. They all failed my test. They can't read simple instructions. They just sat there and its like I have to teach them one on one.

Are you ok? Do you understand? Hello are you still awake? Most of their tests were blank.

I taught 1 class today and had 3 tests. I saw Cheating, complaining, Whining, everything. It really makes me feel my teaching is going somewhere. When I have to give the "Monthly" because I have to out of pure obligation.


I talked to all the Directors today. There are 3 of them. Me and honey Kim's is the worst. The 3rd floor guy was admiring my Sweethearts Owl collection he is a nice guy and I wish I could hang out with him sometime. He was impressed that I have a girlfriend^^
The 4th floor guy was nice too. He gives me some drinks all the time nowadays and I should hang out with him to.

MY director well here is his story Today my first meeting with him was wordless. I saw him when I got tea and all he did was look at me and walk away in a huff. His mannerisms were appalling to me. Later he came and asked me" DO you have any clues as to why you have problems in Md1?

I want to drop kick him sometimes. I have many problems with classes but I am never going to complain to him again if I can help it. he doesn't do anything other than making it more detrimental to the Academy. Such as making me feel bad.


Flying the W curve that's the story of today. Adjustment is what is needed to have lived in Korea or anywhere for that matter. Adjustment is part of life and its what makes us grow.

I have Adjusted and Changed so much and I will change even more so in the month to come.


well its Wednesday tomorrow and I will go to the library again^^
