Monday June 5th,
I'm getting antsy, my students are getting antsy.
It's time for the end of the semester! Next week is
exam week, so I've been frantically trying to prepare
my private students for their vocal performance exams.
Here's how their exams will be structured, as decided
by the other vocal teachers and I, based on last
year's exam: each student selects a song, that is
approved by the private teacher. Then the student
must perform this song in front of the other students,
and a panel of vocal teachers. This all sounds pretty
straightforward, but Ben pointed out to me that the
other vocal teachers may try to give lower marks to my
students out of jealousy. Ah politics!

Tuesday June 6th,
Another national holiday today, no school. But I have
so much work to do right now that I don't have time
for fun!

Friday June 9th,
I had to go to Daegu today to pick up my plane tickets
from my travel agent. Imagine my surprise when he
handed me an e-ticket, thus making my entire trip
pointless . . . I stayed on to meet Ryan, Lindsey,
Joe and Mike for dinner, but I had to go back to Seoul
on the last train, because of my private students
tomorrow afternoon. As much as I like having the
extra money that this private brings in, it's really
ruining my weekends! This was the first day I've been
out of Seoul for a month, and I couldn't even stay!
And while Seoul is a great city and all, everyone that
I really want to spend time with is in Daegu. And I
keep on getting great invitations, to spend the
weekend on the beach, or to go to windsurfing
competitions, or to rooftop barbecues. But none of
these things are happening in Seoul, and I end up not
being able to go to any of them! I suppose on the
bright side, I'm saving some money that I'd be
spending on train tickets . . . but when I come back
from vacation, I'm definitly changing the day and time
of this private!
