Being another me at work.

For me, learning a new language is like finding a way to escape from other people around me.

I work at an elementary school in Korea, somewhere as a conversational English teacher and it is pain on the ass.

My hobby is KNITTING, and co-workers from my school around me are very closed and they think knitting as a hobby in spare time is wasting time and vertually NOT A GOOD HOBBY to keep at school.

Well, If I'm knitting at school I don't bother anyone, I don't talk anyone, and it doesn't make any noises and so on, but I still don't get that why people around me don't like me knitting just because I am a teacher here.

The funniest thing is that they were very happy if I gave them any knitted progects as a gift and even they want something more.


How could they judge what is a good hobby or not..? based on what? their own opinion?



A friend(of course among my colleague) told me not to knit from the new semester(here we begin our new semester in March) because other teachers will think that I don't do any of work.

But, Here's the truth. I teach, I make my students to work very hard, and they follow my instruction, and the level of English has been inproved, well, not dramatically though-cos this depends on the effort!






What a closed society! Reading a book as a hobby is kind of allowed to keep, then knitting is not?

In my bag I have knitting needle and already casted on the sleeve of a cardigan for my second son. It's very nice dark greenish color, and I love the yarn-it's 50% merino wool and 50%cotton, Louisa Harding Ianthe. If any of you are planning working on a baby project or some sort of spring cardi or pullover, it is the yarn, just give it a try. It knits nicely, and the drapes are even.



Today, I'm just bitching!!
