Feeling very very weird because some of you who have been here for years may know that I used to keep track of all the crazy shit my Spanish prof. used to say in contrast to my very nice and proper English lit. prof. (who was his partner)... and it is now, having graduated a couple years ago, that I emailed that crazy Spanish prof. not as a student but as we are now... professional acquaintances. And it got me thinking and I said oh fuck.

Now...

Now I AM the crazy Spanish professor dating the very posh very proper English lit. professor 😭 and the students may be posting about my antics on the tumbler dot com 🤡🤡🤡

I think perhaps I would have done better in an academic program where you can say I Think This Because I Think It more often

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.

Housing benefit for English teaching job in Korea

All standard contracts in Korea include semi-furnished accommodations paid for by the employer. This is usually in the form of a studio or one-bedroom apartment, may be private or shared with another teacher and is usually within walking distance of the place of employment. If the accommodations are shared, each teacher will have his or her own bedroom with the kitchen, bathroom and other living space being shared with one or more other teachers.

Accommodations are usually quite decent and Korean employers are very mindful of gender issues. Teachers never have to live with their boss or a Korean family, though there may be some sort of temporary living arrangement when they initially arrive in Korea while an apartment is found or until a previous teacher leaves. The living quarters are always semi-furnished and usually supplied with items normally required for daily living in Korea; a fridge and gas range, a washing machine, a TV, a fan, table and chairs, a telephone, a bed, a wardrobe and basic kitchen items such as pots, utensils etc. Teachers may also be provided with a VCR, an air-conditioner, a desk, a sofa and personal bedding, but this is not a rule.

All other costs associated with normal living such as utilities (gas, water, electricity, telephone, cable, internet), food and repairs to damage incurred during the course of the teacher’s stay etc., are the teacher’s responsibility.

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
