Tbf it's hard to improve on perfection It was really terrible, interesting content but I've never seen someone say so little with so many words before.

I am so up and down at the moment with this... it has gone from one week "yes, I can" and one week "dear god no", and now this is changed to at least three times a day....I love my job, people are going to die, what a great lesson, I wish these little shi*s would shut up and pi** off, I like living in Korea, I hate this damn place.I regret signing on for another year and found myself wanting to jump out of a tall building on several occasions, to put it mildly. It's not Korea that I hate; it's the job. In fact, I'll be staying in Korea for a few months after my contract ends, maybe until June or July, but I will absolutely not be staying another year as a GET.

Tbf it's hard to improve on perfection It was really terrible, interesting content but I've never seen someone say so little with so many words before.One of the speakers at my orientation seemed more like a motivational speaker than a teacher. He was also trying to shill some sort of "personal motivation guidance" service for a modest fee. Then there was a guy who said it was difficult to tell the students apart because they all looked kinda the same.
Mondays are awful. Today's Tuesday. Tuesdays are still awful. Periods are categorically awful and I wish you had some choco because p-time is the only time it's not basically poison. Pollution is wack and I feel gross too. Can't really sympathize with the tea thing though - just think of it as sugar-free (bonus!) iced tea.
Quote from: HaLo3 on December 06, 2016, 08:38:25 amI'm sure this is terribly selfish, but the yearly ice skating rink at City Hall has been cancelled because of the presidential protests and I'm so irritated! I always look forward to it and I was going to take my bf this year but now that plan is down the drain. I know there is the Lotte World rink, but it's far away and way more expensive.I heard PGH wanted to go there but she was already skating on thin ice.I'll get me coat.

For financial reasons i am signing on for another year. This makes it worse because i was convinced that this was my last year and saw light at the end of the tunnel. Unlike others, i have a pretty good gig here. I just feel that Korea as a whole is slowly sucking the life out of me with each passing year. Makes me wonder if it's worth it.
They set up an outdoor rink at the Olympic Gate at Olympic Park every year as well. Even a bit farther than Lotte World for you but significantly cheaper.
I just lost an arm wrestling match to a grade 6 boy. Where is my life going?
Parents are jerks. Our after school English program is getting cut and the parents found out yesterday so half the kids are weeping around the school today because their parents are pulling them from this school to go elsewhere. Somehow the kids decided its my fault that they have to move even tho I'll be at the same school one day a week next year and I would have prefered to stay teaching after school classes! GAH!
She's decided teaching the boys is too much work. She's moved all of them to the back of the room and placed all the girls directly at the front because they deserve it or some such nonsense.
