We received some news this week that I'm not so crazy about. Our campus and our neighboring campus at Sunae (the next subway stop) will be merging into one due to the Korean economy. So unfortunately, my attempt to skip the states and its' economic downturn has been unsuccessful. Although I don't feel as affected as I did back in the states, the fear is still there.
We learned the news of the merge last Friday night and that it will take effect immediately (as in one week from now-the first week in April. Thankfully, I will not have to switch campuses and I can continue to be at my school rather than the other campus. But I fear that all hell may break loose within the next two weeks as we will have more students, teachers, another boss, and a new curriculum to learn. I was given the option of switching campuses but I decided it was best for me to stick it out with what is familiar considering I've only been here a few months. Also with the merge, I will now be getting paid overtime (time and a half) for a few hours each week as I will begin teaching a phonics class to little toddlers. It may be a headache but the extra pay will be nice in the end. I also don't have an option due to the merge...
There's always a silver-lining! More complaints to come I'm sure...
