My Boss Is the Devil
I kid. I actually love my boss.
The problem is, she keeps asking me to stay in Korea longer. She tells me that there are no jobs in America. If I tell her I miss my friends, she says she can arrange a round trip ticket for me to go see my friends and come back.
This is after she already gave me 5 weeks off to go on my travels.
Ugh if only I could find a job in the states to offer me 5 weeks vacation and give me free plane tickets to see friends. I feel like an idiot for leaving this job. I love it. On the other hand, I do feel like I am delaying my future career whatever that may be. Also on the other, other hand I feel I may get dumped if I stay one month longer.
The free round trip ticket sureee is tempting though.
Next time, I am going to tell her I miss bagels and lox and see what kind of response she can come up with.

Tutoring
So I guess I haven't talked about my job at all so here goes. After 2 weeks of intense training (literally got 6 hrs of sleep a night), the teaching has finally begun. I am teaching reading and writing and I enjoy it. My hours are great, I work 6:30 PM-10 PM week days and 2:30-7 PM on Saturdays. I have one kid in each class so it's not overwhelming. I have one guy who is chill on the weekdays and one really sweet 9th grader girl on Saturdays.
A sample essay from a student will come soon because it was the best piece of work I have ever read and it needs to be shared. The previous statement is said with total sarcasm since it was a 3 page rant against the Japanese and how they screwed Korea. Propaganda, gotta love it.
