wow...

Not only do we work forever here, the disorganization of this school is insurmountable. I just spent the last part of my day, looking for 2 students; found 1, the other apparently hadnt arrived yet. I spent an hour on this futile search, on my day off!

The story is, we must find the students who will join our class (mind you, after Ive completed half a novel with my current class), so they could complete the placement test. After having run up and down the dormitory stairs a few times, towards the reception, back to the school, back to the reception and the dormitory, double-checking lists etc. for an hour, we finally found 1 girl, only to find out that the 2nd girl hadnt arrived yet from the airport. All this, on a day off! Not to mention, that sometimes days off means that you are off after lunch at 1pm, then you have to return for language conversation class at 7.30, which would mean you would probably go to the school for dinner, making your day off 5 hours long (not including transportation time needed to get back to the hotel). Some day off hmm? How I miss Canadian labour laws......

Ha, it's like Bart Simpson in France. Have you learned any French or German yet, at least?
