Caveat: Eventually

When I started this teaching job in a public elementary school, I was assured that one of the duties that we 원어민 ["native speaker instructors"] had was to teach a weekly English class to the teachers at our schools – to help them maintain and/or improve their own English language skills.  This had always struck me as a great idea, and it was something I'd recommend to enlightened hagwon management as well. 

Well, I got to teach my first conversation class for teachers today, with about 3 weeks left on my one-year contract.  I guess my school just didn't get around to it, until now.

I'm glad I actually got to do it, though. 

Last night, I had trouble sleeping.  I'm clearly being troubled by things, lately.  Stress around the upcoming job change, I'm sure.   Maybe stress around other things, too.  I don't know.

I drifted in and out of waking up, this morning, for longer than usual, and kept having these mini-nightmares.

I was being chased by a bear in a snowy wilderness.

I was paralyzed, lying on the floor of my classroom, while my students tried to get me to respond to them.

I saw a flood happening on the floor of my classroom, and I kept clicking on some "stop flood" icon on a computer, to no avail.

I was late for a bus, and tripped and fell into a hole in the street.
