New opportunity
I am presented with a new opportunity to work at a Recruiting firm for English teachers. The more I think about it more I feel excited. Although It may be a bit more of a risk, I think it is worth taking the chance. Mom and Aunt both agree that I should jump at this. It will also be the office of the Landmark Education (evening office) so I won't have to go far to assist. I think it will be exciting.

Eventful month
Since Granma's birthday, I've been mostly working at the English camps. There's one provided by the school and the other one provided by the city. I was not happy to find out that I am one of the ones who's not treated as well. It turns out the other teachers did not get to have such a long camp period and if they had, they could take off for the afternoon.
I've also been busy with the budding Landmark Education work in Seoul. I'm very impressed with the people participating here. It's so inspiring to see the transformation of some one's life in front of your eyes and to be on the team to make that happen.
Grandma's tenant from hell set up a doggy soup restaurant - without consulting the landlord, nor the licence from the city government nor from the national park office. So the tigress auntie complained to the officials and they tore it down. He had the usual drunken fit. He was threatening to set fire to the whole place and ended up in the police station with uncle (Thank god for uncle this time). After the long night at the police station, he was set free with a warning. The next night his best friend had the drunken fit and we told him to take his friend with him if he's so precious to him. He was also escorted by police to his home.
So far, they are quiet after 2 nights of rowdiness. This made me mad. I'm madder because I can't seem to do anything effective. I want to just kick them out and tear down his room. But then, I don't know if that won't provoke more stupid actions from them. So, here I thought I was kinda smart but so totally useless.
The impossible hot weather is not helping. What a gal to do???
