Tuesday, March 17th, 2009I don’t know how to describe Korea. First off, I haven’t seen the half of it.
Then there’s the culture itself. Once I’ve finally made up my mind that people are cold and unfeeling, I come upon the exact opposite.
I really should also factor in that this is my first winter in 3 years so it’s a bit gloomy and LONG.
And of course there’s the bipolar inconsistency of things at my school. Some days are good and some are bad- many just fall inbetween. I feel like if I’m gonna share my excitement with stories and pictures there should be some sort of representation of my frustrations. Certain days actually can be quite difficult.
I now present you with a rare venting email written to my parents, rare because I don’t want my parents to think I’m gonna quit and flee the country. That and I know that things pass and it’s not that bad.
What you must understand is that on the average day I like Korea. I do not like how our school is run but I like the kids, the job, the shiiibang. Once in a while I feel a bit aggravated. Enter email.
| “Hey mom and dad,arrrrgggg… I’m getting REALLY sick of it here.I mean i’ll be fine with finishing up my year but the disorganization is driving me nuts. Part of it is ok bc I know that if i were working in America the little mistakes i’d make here and there would get me reprimanded… Somehow over here they mess up enough so that I don’t have to worry about being the “absent-minded” one. Also I’m so sick of those little kids not listening. Some days like today it just makes me so mad.Anyhoo… I’m going to look really hard for another job for Sept. ANYWHERE ELSE. Well not anywhere… I’d like to find somewhere of course that pays rent and a decent salary. The WON sucks now anyway so I’m making like HALF of what I thought I would originally. Apparently the won should follow the dollar and get better but it could get worse. No one knows. I’m gonna try really hard to make something work in Europe. If I can find free accomodation and like $2000 a month I’ll take Germany, France or Poland in a heartbeat. I’m also sick of this cold Asian culture. I know I am venting but man… Well less than 6 months to go. Get me outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PS Ironically after I was praised I now feel like I want to shoot myself in the head. I can’t win.” |
