11pm on a Friday?!

Started off my day with the usual kimchi and rice and headed off to the hospital to collect the results from my check up. And as can generally be predicted, they weren't ready (the woman had forgotten when she had asked us to come in) so we patiently sat while they were done... Only to find that not only had she forgotten we were coming, 'someone' had forgotten to do one of the main tests that is required for a foreign teacher to teach here. Yup, the drugs test. So, off I go to give them more money (even though THEY c*ocked up) and had the joy of pissing into a cup again. This means that I still cannot sort out a bank account or a permanent phone line (you need an Alien card to get a phone here) until next week. Great.

A good day with the kids today. Snacks, mini party and a movie with one class and icecream with other (Jo's idea for them being so good!). And off to the gym to work it all off :) Had all my body stats done so they can see just how fat/thin I am so can redo it in a few months to see i'm doing. Apparently I need to drink more water, eat more meat and turn some of my fat into muscle - but am in the normal range so that's fine! We did a LBT class then some cardio - i don't think i'll ever stop giggling with the instructor trying to explain directions to me in Korean! Need to learn some more of the language!!

Then off to the cinema (gym, cinema and restaurants all in one building - score!). Was a bit shocked to get a phone call from the director of one of the 4 schools i'm teaching at (the one which is a half hour drive away). A phone call at 11pm on a Friday evening... To 'ask' me about teaching tomorrow at 1pm.... ARGGGGHHH!! The point just does not seem to getting across! Doesn't suprise me with messages being passed between so many people. I said NO, I AM NOT WORKING ON SATURDAYS and then she says i've put her in an uncomfortable position because there are kids coming in expecting me to teach them. Bollocks to that! Do it once and will never see the end of it! She also had the nerve to ask me what I was doing that I couldn't come in tomorrow... Hmph! So, will see what she has to say to Mr Park...

Anyhow! Angels and Demons - thoroughly enjoyed it! Lots of twists and turns... but won't ruin it for anyone else who hasn't seen it yet ;)
