internship update: i suggested 6 hr/day workday for me and they are ready to agree to that! the pay will be cut accordingly though. but 6 hrs/day is much more manageable than 8, and i’ll have time to get to classes. and if i have to leave early on some day i can easily make up for this on the day when i dont have classes. i have to discuss this still but i really, really love the prospect

mmmh these past few months have been really attempting to murder me financially and im surviving by the skin of my teeth by being very careful but im still very stressed out so im just gonna put this little paypal address here, in case anyone is in any position to help. if you can't do anything it's fine I know life is hard for many of us im just, u know, giving myself a little chance to receive a little help.

honestly i think this job might be the closest thing there is to my ‘ideal’ job
living abroad
actually get to use my tl
utilising my love of language and linguistics
utilising my performing skills
kids think i’m hilarious (they’re right)
teaching the same lessons for a whole month so i only really have to do lesson prep for each one once
different places every week = different classes every week = lots of variety even though i’m literally teaching the same lesson 3-4 times a week
variety of ages and abilities
great work-life balance
rarely see my colleagues (not that i dislike them bc honestly they’re great i’m just introverted)
basically no need for anyone to contact me outside of working hours
i see mountains on my commute (and just. anytime bc i live in a city surrounded by mountains aaaah <3)
health insurance and pension and dental and all that jazz included

opinion on the last film u watched (or book u finished) <333
HI long train ride got. canceled so was not checking my tumblr inbox as expected but hellooo hi love this question
have actually been watching like. a shitload of movies lately. most recent one was called 'fear, inc.' it was a 2016 horror movie abt this guy who hires like...an extreme haunted house company except instead of u going 2 a haunted house they come 2 you + scare u. so the movie was like. oooh what's real what's fake...kind of a fun premise + decent start but lost steam pretty quickly and overall was just v mediocre imo...i do think the extreme haunted house industry is interesting tho i went down a rabbit hole reading articles abt it a few years back lol
BUT most recent book i finished was 'cursed bunny' by bora chung. short story anthology + i love short story anthologies + this writer in particular was like...exactly up my alley w how she blends horror + sci-fi + fantasy. i was reading the english translation so cannot speak 2 like...her direct writing style i suppose but i loved her writing style thru the translation & also really loved the undercurrent of themes running through her stories...lots to do with motherhood + childhood + power + punishment...my fave stories were one called 'snare' about a man who finds a fox caught in a trap + discovers that it bleeds gold, and one called 'scars' abt a boy who grows up chained in a dark cave where a monster comes every so often 2 drink his blood. highly highly recommend 2 anyone looking 4 a good book the fact that it's a short story anthology makes it v readable bc it's like. u don't have 2 read the whole book u can just take it one story at a time...and even if fantasy + horror + sci-fi aren't really ur thing it's not like. leaning super heavy into any of those genres they're just sort of...blended + sprinkled throughout....honestly one of my fave books i've read this year probably
