hell week. now who's being dramatic...

on friday are my engrish plays--beginners' class=peter pan and advanced class=snow white plus random characters because students kept dropping out (we've trimmed the fat to one dwarf. but all his lines were memorized when there were two or three of them. so there are some issues with pronouns and plurals, but i stopped caring...)

if the dress rehearsal yesterday was any indication, i think i will probably have a stroke on friday. but at least i have freshly pedicured toes to go with that stroke. my advanced class is pissed because i didn't spend all of my weekend making them a huge crocodile and pirate ship like i did for the beginner class. and i'm pissed at all of them for not saying "thank you" for any of these props that took away hours of my life i'll never get back. perhaps i'm too hard on them. but it sure seems like no one else is.

anyhoo, this week are the plays. next week packing and moving to somewhere in or outside seoul. should i be concerned that i still know absolutely no details? eh. they'll fall into place soon enough. i'm looking forward to regular old teaching again. no gimmicks, no arts and crafts (fingers crossed).

in the meantime, everyone's trying to cash in on the limited jamie time. two free meals this week, with more to come next week (assah!) as random people that i've never bothered to communicate with in the past 9 months vie for precious hours of the limited time i have left in suncheon.
