Billy Joel Concert

I don't have any pics, but it was so much fun! I went this past Saturday and it was perfect timing. This week had quite a negative vibe at school, so it was great to let everything go and relax  and have a good time. It brought my spirits back up where they needed to be.

Sadly to say, they informed us that we are having "intensives" next session. Before coming, I was promised that my school wasn't having anymore, which was the main reason I chose to come to this particular school. Intensive is a 5 week period where we teach from 8 am to 7 pm with very very little increase in pay (my normal schedule runs from 2:30 - 9:20 pm). I am not happy about it. We are supposed to have a new teacher coming next week, but we told him about intensives and now he is reconsidering. Our bosses were not happy about that. Friday they yelled at us all for giving him "unnecessary" information, and threatened to give us bad references. There was a lot of tension at school, and I am not looking forward to this week. I am actually planning on checking into working at a public school, where the schedule is consistent year round.

The concert was the perfect way to clear my mind and forget about all that stuff. I had no idea I would enjoy it so much, but he is a great performer! And it was fun to see so many foreigners in one place. We met people from all over the world who spoke English.
