Work Tissy Fit

The second full week of June is under way. Yet again I had a nervous breakdown. Fighting Teacher Rises and falls all the time. This time it was as a result of Mr. Jeong.

I am playing in a shuffling madness sort of Academy. I have to disagree with Christina and point blankly say that anywhere other than Gumi would have to be better than here.


I have been tested in so many ways. I cried before my first class because of anxiety and fear pertaining to my departure. I can't say what I want all the time because I am literally around Koreans (kids etc) and I can't expound on my feelings when I need to-
Since coming to Korea I have underwent many transformations but the biggest one of them is my work ethic. I didn't care about work at all. I was a foolish naive kid who just wanted to partake in something for some quick cash and some "real world" experience. I am now someone who cares more about how I look, dress, how clean I am, how much money I can save, and most importantly how I can be more responsible when it comes to future planning.
I am worried about that so much because I don't think I can find a job until I go back. I am wanting to always work hard and I have plenty of reasons to want to work hard.


So today I literally floated through classes I had 3 classes before I even lifted a finger of actual teaching. Its a good thing to because I am livid with emotion and ready to explode.

June 9th just a manic Monday as they say in America but to me its much more than this. I have had kids ask me (snidely) when am I going back to America? (please go soon) I wonder if they are used to just seeing Teachers come and go and have no sense of decency like: Nick seriously thank you for not giving me more homework or thank you for helping me with my homework. That is a lie because I have already come to the conclusion that homework is a lame excuse to just show parents that yes they are doing something while we babysit. Thats why I wish I could get Christina not to care so much about the kids because there are bigger things at work than the kids' poor attitudes.

I promise I can make sure that there is something better out there. I regret my angst its not easy waiting for my boss to figure out and stop dilly dawdling with Papers.

So today the news is this:
1. I got my plane ticket canceled so now I will need to pick a new date and depart from there and 2. I need to get my criminal background check mailed to me as soon as possible.

Korea changed the rules on me. I now need a sheet of paper that say I am not guilty to work in a country where I already did all of previously.


Anyways I will tell more later but I need to rest now. BUSY BUSY BUSY
