RAVING/HAPPY SH!T MEGATHREAD

Leave me alone, I skipped breakfast.

Today my travel school principal was really rude about my hair during lunch, as I was sitting across from her.

Why is this is the happy thread?

Cos I don't give a fudge! 

 After work I'm off home, grabbing my bag, spending the night at a hotel near the airport and flying off to Taipei tomorrow morning. Nothing can get me down today! 

Stella had 4 tiny, screaming kittens this afternoon.

I'd post pics but can't figure out how to make them smaller.

Gave my G1 middle school students a speaking task today, and the rule of: no speaking Korean.
It went over well, and very little Korean was used (a few times, a student made an English joke at another student, that student would say something in Korean and playfully smack the other haha.
It was a fun lesson for both myself and the students. :D

Kyndo gives free tutorials (Used to be free anyway; he might be on to a subscription model at this point.)

Because my open class was such a failure on the student's end and such a success on mine, they're rearranging my entire schedule and I'll be teaching curriculum classes now!

Not sure what is meant by "curriculum" class, but that sounds great! I hope this makes your life a bit easier.

This isn't something to rave about, but my main school has the second graders split based on their English level (Low, middle and high). Days like these, I really appreciate my high level classes. They actually participate and don't cause a ruckus

Oh sorry. Curriculum classes meaning that I'll be teaching alongside a Korean teacher in their class. I've only been doing after school classes alone and it's gotten so boring and hard to teach so I'm excited to do something else, even if I'm just the fun English speaking clown.

Yay congrats! I actually had no idea you were only doing AS.
 Ridiculous of them to stick you on after school classes right away tbh. Like i've been here years and AS is still more of a struggle for me, like the prep and the attitude of the students is so different. It's crazy to expect a new teacher to be able to do it alone.

Hopefully it'll work out for you!

Thank you! I'm set to start my new schedule in the next week or so. At first I was happy to be alone and doing after school, no Co-Teacher to deal with and struggle to make plans with etc...

I was such an idiot for wishing to not have a Co-T on after school classes lmao. It's good to hear that even teachers with years under their belt have issues with AS classes, it makes me feel better about struggling so much.

GOOD

Nine Inch Nails just announced for Pentaport festival in Incheon this year. Made my day!

No work on Wednesday for the next two weeks.

Really wish this site would upgrade its emotes. I vote for at least hearts.

Have you been to that festival before? Thinking about going, but if it's as badly managed as the one in Ansan, forget it.

No, I've never been. It's a 3 day event, but they don't have camping, as it's pretty much in the middle of Songdo/Incheon. I found Jisan Valley to be poorly organized too.

Jisan/Ansan was basically the same event. I went to see Foo Fighters in 2014 and the entire area was a mud pit, with only one kind of beer (Korean!) available.
