One of my recruiters contacted me and offered me a position with the Seoul Metropolitan Office HOWEVER I need 2 recommendations by early May to forward on to my school in Korea. Heh? How am I supposed to get these recommendations in such a short time? I'm not in school, and I don't feel comfortable asking my amazing professors only two weeks in advance to write me a recommendation.
They might as well ask me to fly to Pluto or something equally ridiculous...but I'll probably buckle down and do it.
In other news, I have another interview with a private language school which should be coming up this weekend. I might just end up going with a private school, because I don't know how "up" I am for working with 30 kids for 5 classes a day. It's just not in me. 10 kids I can handle, and give due attention, but I don't know about 30. I'll have to work up to that, I suppose. Maybe at a summer camp.
Maya should be heading off to Indonesia in July, and I guess I'll be leaving for Korea sometime in August. Damn my diploma taking so long. Oh well, I'll probably try to find a Korean tutor to help me learn the basics before I head out. That should be fun.
Most physicists agree that the 4th dimension is time. But if you could think of the 4th dimension as some sort of physical thing, you could imagine it as at every possible instant in time that we 3d beings exist.
Interesting stuff.
I've decided to reject the contract from Indonesia. I haven't heard from them in a week, and I've got to get moving. I can't keep waiting around.
I have an interview with a recruiter tomorrow at 2:30. It's a Canadian company that specializes in placing native English speakers in public schools in Korea. Another Canadian company is interviewing me on Wednesday.
I've applied to 2 of the big companies (I think they call these hagwons), and received a reply from the 1st one. The only problem I have with the big companies is the poor vacation time. One company doesn't give any paid vacation time...scary, in my opinion. You can't work people to death.
I wish I was in Korea right now, just so I could see what life would be like. If I could somehow cross through the 4th dimension, I would be able to travel to the future to my in-Korea self. Impossible, but still. :)
