slip ups

My morning was horrible. I had the worst feeling in my stomach since getting here. I am hoping its completely healed by tomorrow. I went to work with a headache, stomach ache and a feeling of being bothered.

I never know what to expect anymore and its my problem. Its something I should just try to understand. I am shocked at how fast time passes here.

I went to work having to teach 5 classes. My Thursday went from a 3 class day to 4 because of MA2 to 5 today because of Mr. Jeong being absent. The bonus is that there will be no mass inspections or additional bad factors due to his absence.

Sometimes I still feel he is a poor misunderstood and nice guy but I can't wait until WE are free of him. I am opening myself up to an idea of staying in Korea longer. I write about all of this now because I want help in any way I can get it.

I've got the nicest woman in the world and I don't intend to watch her work under abnormal conditions.

I think back to the days were I didn't write so much---Walking in the park, Sitting and talking for 45 minutes to an hour. We used to have it really nice here. I liked Thursday and I didn't care that I used to teach td classes 3 times a week. Those were special days. Ironically it was before I found that this place was just a money scheming place and no real feeling for education. Tuesday and Thursday are truly the best days for education the kids are much more interesting I feel.

I like the oldest groups^^thats for sure. Some of the youngest kids have lately become more interesting. For the most part I think the kids are decent nowadays when they aren't screaming in the office.


Today I felt glum, sad, felt like joking, I taught my TC2 class again, tc1 no Chansuk, and my veteran Rose. I don't like Td1 at all anymore..The kids have dropped or just decide to come when they want. That's why I didn't care about tests this month.

I will not write about work anymore. Unfortunately I have lost all my feeling for teaching. I like to work hard but I can't do anything here. There is no business that I can do apparently. I wish I could do more but all of my work is tape recording or subroutine. There is no variety, there is no real planning, I don't even get checked anymore. All this fussing and fighting and now my work is devoid of meaning.


When it comes to work... I have the best thing in the world... The wonder lady who sits next to me each day. I also have been able to save some money which is nice. That's all I want from Gumi. I know that I will work better or harder later..I have high ambitions.


After my last class, I wrote a letter, paid a bill and relaxed upstairs a little. It was a fast day and I hope tomorrow is wonderful.

Many things to do yet.
