Look at me! I'm VIP!

I like the sound of the title... ha a little rhyme for you.... and you will find out just why I'm a VIP in a bit ;).

This morning was a rush of good news. They worked out the vacation time for me so I can go home and so I signed up for the GRE test. It will be so good to be back in America even if it is only for about two weeks. I signed up for the test and then ordered 750 vocab cards to study.... Weeee it is study time for me. Lets see if my vocab improves hahaha.

Anyways back to the main reason for this post. My co worker told me that she needed to talk to me. I alway get a little scared about this because when they say that, they look scared.... I guess they have heard about some foreingers that don't handle things too well or they are scared I will be upset. Anyways since my school is really into English (what school isn't here?) they have set up some special programs....

Introducing the VIP lunch with the English Teacher! So every day starting in April I will be eating with three students. I am to eat with them for 30 minutes (since I usually finish lunch early so I can do other things that was the only really annoying part). When my co worker told me I just laughed. It is kindof funny really... They are going to prepare special snacks, I guess, and I need to try and make these poor kids talk to me when they would probably rather eat with their friends and speak Korean. Also it is ironic that the principal told everyone that we aren't allowed to talk during lunch... Well I guess unless you are a VIP, yeah, that's right!

One thing... I don't really want the students to see my eating habits at school. I don't eat a big lunch so they assume I don't like korean food. I don't want to seem snobby to them... You know, like I don't want to eat their food... It is just that I can't eat a huge pile of rice and loads of cabbage. This is going to be interesting....

All in all I think this is odd, but hey I go with the flow I think that is why they like me over here...

The next extra thing I'll be doing is that student will write me letters and I am supposed to correct the mistakes and send them back.

These things are good, but I'm wondering if they count towards overtime... since it isn't teaching... It is a bit confusing.... Anyways I guess being a VIP I can figure it all out.

(I really hope my co worker was serious about special snacks for the VIP hahaha)
