i really want a master's degree in japanese language or translation or something. problem is that it's expensive and useless and there's too much on my plate for that right now. how do i talk myself out of this

cultural perspective being indispensible in media consumption but looking back i find it so funny that for years and years before teaching in japan i thought it was another suspension-of-disbelief surrealist kagepro thing that haruka and takane spent all their time in a homeroom class for just the two of them and now the maximum number of kids we've ever had in my special needs class is 3

congrats on making it through grad school twice! understand if you’d rather keep it vague, but what did you study?

I got an M.Ed which is essentially a teaching degree & required for teachers (within the first 5 years of teaching I believe in Massachusetts?) and I got my Masters in English with a certificate in Digital Humanities!!

the little kid i work with escaped the ukraine two years ago. my family immigrated in the 50s/60s to escape the turkish occupation in my papou’s village in greece. and it is both immensely heartbreaking and also insanely healing to help someone the way my grandparents weren’t helped when they got to this country.

Those pillow talk prompts & the fluffy sharing a bed series are still on my to do list if anyone is waiting for them. Life kinda got on top of me a smidge of late but I'll be back to it a bit more next month, promise ❤️

poets as summer jobs I did since I was 11

inspirated by @73647e 

Pitts - walking the dogs of the neighbours, little  pay but definetly the most enjoyable of all works, because who doesn’t love puppies 

Todd - working in an ice cream shop, got panic attacks sometimes because of too many people, but at least good pay 

Charlie - some bar, didn’t really care about the job, it was just something to do durring summer 

Cameron - teaching  younger kids (probably maths or chemistry) pretty enjoyed it but annoying sometimes lmao

Knox - working in a gift shop by the sea, so he got job and holidays in one (also could watch pretty guys and girls) 

Meeks - another gift shop but this time at the museum, not to much people, good free coffee and could give random facts for customers 10/10

Neil - babysitting! he actually loved this job, he’s very good with kids, and the kids love him <3

Korean medical Insurance for English teachers

As of 2006, Korean employers are obligated to provide their teachers with health care insurance, and most opt to go with the Korean National Health Insurance plan, though they can choose another if they wish. The school and teacher usually each cover half of the monthly cost, which is about 2.24% of the teacher’s monthly salary (total of 4.48%). The health care benefits include diagnosis, tests, medicine, medical materials, treatments, surgery, preventive care, rehabilitation, hospitalization, nursing, and transportation. 100% of the costs are not covered; when receiving health care treatments from a doctor or hospital, or when getting medicine from a pharmacy, the insured pays part of the total charges based on a predetermined cost-sharing percentage or fixed amount. These costs will vary according to the quality of clinic or hospital treatment is received at. Smaller clinics and hospitals are much cheaper than larger hospitals, but services and quality of care are usually much better at larger hospitals. Services not considered necessary for activities in daily life, e.g., plastic surgery are not covered by the NHI program. Dental care is also not covered.

Even if teachers do not have health coverage when they arrive in Korea, if they have an accident and are injured, of even if they go for a non-emergency doctor visit, they will receive a refund of paid medical fees retroactive to their arrival in Korea once they submit their insurance application and pay all back fees. On top of that, hospital and other medical fees are incredibly low compared to Western countries like America or Canada, and teachers need not be overly concerned.
