Wednesday, February 29, 2012 Rainy and then cloudy.
Took a couple of hours off. Two members of the personnel committee came
over, saying that one of the daytime English teachers move to the nighttime
sextion. I explained the reason why that would be impossible. Around ten
homeroom teacher had not handed in their Student Council settlement slips
yet when I hit the road. Yesterday attened the two foreign language classes,
that is, Korean and Chinese.

Took care of several students who came over. Also in the process of collencting
Student Council accounts. Not done yet. Had an English study session as
well. Yesterday was our school's commencement. I unlocked and locked the
classrooms where the graduating students were supposed to get together.
I was on telephone duty in the office in the afternoon. The day before
yesterday, that is, on Saturday I was at home relaxing.
Friday, February 24, 2012 Cloudy
On telephone duty at work for three hours from 4:00p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
There were some complicated questions I had some trouble answering. Yesterday's
staff meeting was one after which I had a bad aftertaste because of the
proposals by the boss. There is little breathing room now at work, which
is bad for our mental health. This kind of atmosphere is prevalent across
the board these days.

Today had a couple students over in the English Interview Room. They
were done with their English for this school year. Finishing off miiscellanesou
tasks, began filling in the school records. Took me two hour or so to do
that. Yesterday went to Gogakudo to learn Korean and then to the Chinese
class in the evening. So tired. The day before yesterday, that is on Monday,
filled in the school records with information regarding attendance and
grades.

At work handed in all the sign-up-related papers. Inputted all the necessary

which made 35 in all. Yesterday was a day off. Triied this super slow jogging
on my way to the market in the next town in the evening. On Friday took
care of nine homeroom kids. Quite a lot again.

On Monday helped six homeroom kids with their sign-up procedure. Exhausted.
On Tuesday off to the Korean and Chinese clasees. Tired out. On Wednesday,
that is yesterday, took care of nine or ten kids, half of whom were so
tiring to help with their sign-up, so all the more exhausted. Today nine
homeroom students came. They were OK, not too hard to help.
Sunday, February 12, 2012 Fair
Went to work although it was a holiday. Only one student out of eight
showed up, but was able to prepare for the sign-up assistance week starting
tomorrow. It was a good thing that I went to work anyway.
Saturday, February 11, 2012 Fair
Finished reading a library book today. Watched a Chinese drama. Yesterday
was the worst day at the present workplace. It seemed as if my kindness
was rewarded with ill will. The day before yesterday found some money on
the street.
Wednesday, February 8, 2012 Cloudy and cold.
Super busy today at work. Retests, reports, and some students who came

some sudents came for their makeups. Had an English study session, too.
