Nearly 24 hours of sleep and I still feel like I’m going to fall over if I stand up for too long. Can’t call into work as there is an emergency involving a special placement program that the parents are bugging out over — we have to give interviews with the native speaking English teacher, and I’ll have to grade several essays by the end of the day, so that the parents can’t argue (they don’t trust the Korean teachers’ English, at least so long as the Korean teachers aren’t ranking their child first), but then I think I might do what I really try to avoid doing, which is palm my classes off and either spend the day in the nurse’s office, teachers’ rest room or see if I can’t just come home. I don’t think five classes of standing and shouting are going to happen.
I hate doing this. It makes me feel like a jerk who can’t hang with my Korean coworkers. But I don’t know what else to do. I might actually end up in the hospital if I try to “endure”. Bless my coworkers for always being understanding, though.
