I got to my desk this morning and was promptly told that my 3rd and 4th period classes were cancelled. Then, my 2nd period class never showed up! AWESOME! Just when I thought I was free and clear to have the whole day to play around, I was handed a GIANT pile of tests to grade! 7 classes worth to be exact, with between 30-40 questions each. That's 245 questions to check if you do the math! This wouldn't be such a big deal, except for the fact that Korean's don't just check the wrong answers, they circle the right answers too! (Grading tests this way literally takes about 10 times longer!) Oh, and it has to be done with a red crayon, Nothing else will do!

After grading for a couple hours, I said to one of my co-workers, "In America, we only check the wrong answers. Circling all the right answers like this is taking me forever!" Her response was, "Oh, I never thought about that. It does save time, doesn't it?" How has that never crossed anyone's mind around here?! Seriously!
Ah, Korea!
Ah, Korea!
