The Magic Number Is.....

15! That's how many work days that I have left. And let me tell you, no matter how hard I'm trying to enjoy these last days, my boss' wife is making it awfully difficult. See the middle schoolers are preparing for exams which means that the academies are over worked and stressed out trying to make sure that the students that attend their school get higher grades than ones who don't. All this stress tends to come out on the person in nearest proximity at the time, and for some reason that was me all day. I was just trying to stay outta the way and do my job all while being sick and not to complain.... and yet I took the brunt of most of it. I was just thankful that I don't understand Korean. It mostly had to do with the fact that on my 1 minute break now in between classes I should talk to students instead of doing things like going to the bathroom or refilling my water bottle. I try and laugh these off and remind myself that I'll be gone soon, but it sure is making me wish these 15 days go faster.

And as I said before, even though I'm sick, I'm trying to make the most of my free time left here so tomorrow I'm waking up at the crack of dawn to get myself to Seoul to meet up with a tour that is going to the DMZ. I'll write more on what that is and how it was when I get back.

Thank goodness for the weekend... :)
