I skipped my first lesson and managed to compose myself - after being fed calming tea, soy milk, crackers and fruit - and I did teach the rest of the lessons that day. Everyone was very concerned and I must say my eyes were opened to how much my fellow staff and the students do care about my well-being. It wasn't nice feeling being so sad but they really warmed my heart. The students' whose class I had missed came running up to me and wanted to know why I hadn't been to THEIR class - i.e. they had missed me, what a nice feeling!
The highlight of my day was the last lesson where the students had written me a message on the board, just so cute and kind!
As much as the Koreans sometimes drive us nuts and are a crazy bunch one can't help liking them!
(P.S. Even when trying to cheer me up, the students do add that they "we are always watching you" - at least they're honest!!)
