pretty in pink

horace came up with a new catch phrase for our sitcom, "that's our hagwon". we now say this anythime something out of the ordinary happens. so today when we walked into the school jean, who supposedly got fired was behind the desk. it seems the new teacher is not going to work for us after all and they called jean back. "that's out hagwon." which means i'm back in the damn pink room. just when i though i was rid of beauty and the beast.

jk told us today that we might start teaching adults. yeah!! jk asked horace to teach him and christine the new receptionist. i was so glad he didn't ask me. i'm not sure when the adult teaching is going to happening but it might be one of those situations where we go to the offices to teach them. can't be any worse than my kindergarteners who are so not behaved. although i did seem to keep their fascination with my talent of writing their names with 2 crayons. oh, the things we come up with. my other two classes were pretty uneventful.

ferret has become our new nemisis at school. i don't think she likes whitey. or at least not horace and i. eating lunch with them is always interesting. as soon as horace and i start talking to each other they get all quiet to earsdrop. we're planning on inviting our own language. and other times they speaking in korean and don't even talk to us. whatever.

it rained all day which is probably the reason for my dreary disposition. that plus the fact i found out my dad is in the hosipital. its seems he had a minor heartattack. i spoke to my sister a little while ago but she didn't have any news yet. being here makes me feel kind of helpless. i wish i could go home to help my mom. all i can do here is wait for news. i didn't me to bring everyone down, thats just how i feel right now.

all right i'm off to bed. i think i'm catching a cold. i'm all stuffed up. i wonder if it could be because noone here covers their mouth when they sneeze or cough. where's miss manners when you need her.
