job prospects

in 2 weeks time, i've interviewed at 3 different companies. i've been given an offer at place a, waiting to hear back from place b and place c, while they are highly likely to hire me, is only part time, and girlfriend here, she needs to work the full time. why? full time provides benefits: a housing deposit allowance, and most importantly, stability: consistent work. shoot, i'm going to live here, for a year, maybe more--to be decided at the year anniversary--and there's some essentials that a woman needs: food, water, shelter. and then of course, some non-essentials that help make life more pleasurable: korean language lessons and shiny new camera on the top of the list.

i've been to day one of training at place a. (you go through an intense training week at the end of which you're tested on how well you know the teaching materials. if you know them well, you pass and sign the official contract and begin work promptly. if you don't do so well, you best start looking for another job.) and it is pretty gosh darn overwhelming. the serenity and flow i've luxuriously eased into here at chateau song, is being interrupted, albeit welcoming-ly, by mr. nervous and miss. anxious and ms. oh you know you got this girl sassy sassypants.

i'm going to prep and review my materials again so that i can be on top of my game for the mock evaluation this afternoon. wish me luck!
