One down (under), two to go (soon). Teachers, that is.

After sitting on my classes on Monday, one of the new teachers was nowhere to be found Tuesday. Apparently my wild classes and my blunt honesty about our frustrations over the last year sent her home packing. Not everything i said was bad, but the lack of communication from the other teachers didn't help i'm sure. No one told the new teachers a gathering was planned for that evening. At the gathering, as usual, the Koreans sat around talking to each other. They didn't attempt to engage the new arrivals much. Some basic communication skills would really help this hagwon.

After the new arrivals left few stragglers sat around drinking for a bit. To my surprise Julia showed up to say goodbye. While other people expressed there goodbyes in words, she showed hers on her face. As we were saying goodbye on the street, she burst into tears. We don't speak anywhere near the same language, but she will be the one i miss the most.
