You Can't Quit, Because You're Fired!!!

Okay, so I didn't really get fired. I really did quit. I gave my notice just over two weeks ago, and in the email I sent to my boss (who is always out of the country. I think he was in Jakarta at the time), I told him I could either stay until around the 20th of February or the 5th of March, if he needed me here longer. He emailed me back and asked if I could stay until the end of March, because some of the teachers weren't going to be here in time for the new semester. I emailed him back and said I could stay longer, but only until the 20th or so because my brother is getting married on the 25th of March. Then, just yesterday I get an email from the International Office (not even from HIM) saying they'd like me to leave either the end of February or stay until April. Why would I stay until April? My brother is getting married!! Did he just forget my logical reasoning? GAH! Sometimes these people drive me crazy!!!!!!

Sorry I got on here just to rant. Really, I've been having a great time. When I feel a little less cloudy in the brain area I'll post actual, useful things for you guys to read. The past month and a half back have been rather crazy. I've been wrangling kids for the winter English program they host here at the school when the university isn't in session. I was basically working 12 hour days for a month. Now I'm recuperating, organizing the office, and adding "figure out how to move back to the US in the next two weeks or so" to my list.

Someday I'll be sane again. I had to leave the office today because I was getting so overwhelmed with stuff to figure out. Good thing I found this little notebook while I was wandering somewhat aimlessly around Janghowan. It said on the front "Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy." Great quote. And it's one of the few in Korea that doesn't have obvious English mistakes in it. So I bought it.

Souvenirs anyone. before I leave South Korea for (possibly) good?
