Apologies on the lack of updates, however, Korea does not have a magical anti-shit-hitting-fan shield around it. (Japan does, however. And the Koreans are pissed, I'm sure). Several things have prevented me from sitting down and spending quality time with the Create Post page in recent days, including but not limited to:
Hwangsa - also known as yellow dust, yellow sand, or 'goddammit, China, cut it out'. You can wikipedia it for all the delightful details, but needless to say, total wusses like me are quite affected by this phenomenon. I have been hacking like an 80-year-old asthmatic woman who just went for a run while chain smoking. Or, I've been hacking like I'm after the Gibson, if you are from RIT. A great deal of care has been put into not accidentally coughing up my dinner onto this keyboard. That'd be bad, apparently.
Pullin' the jerk shift - which is not actually an innuendo, unprecedented, I know. It seems my school is down one foreign teacher due to sheer selfishness and a lack of planning on one American's part. I won't shed a tear for the loss of her in my every day life, but losing my breaks during the day can't be helping the aforementioned hwangsa-lung-party. My boss first pulled the apologetic card, buying sweet breads for the Americans and rice cakes for the Korean teachers, and has been very mood-swingy over the past few days. Of course, she expects that the ad I put up on Craigslist will bring us a glittering new teacher in five minutes, but not a single response yet. I'm looking forward to just finding a new teacher and getting all this drama behind us, because my goodness, do I ever get tired of only talking gossip and saying mean things about a person. It just isn't my style.
