It looks like it's going to be a bad year for holidays as 6 of the 12, or half, fall on a Saturday or Sunday; not counting Lunar new year and Chuseok because with both you get a long weekend.
Glad I'll be starting a uni gig in March with my summers and winters free.

I work Saturdays, so you won't hear me complaining.

Arbor Day hasn't been a holiday for a few years now

Man, that's brutal for Chuseok. I'll have to check my calendar at work again to see what I get.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at the holiday schedule at first glance though. I actually get a solid week off for the first time in my two years here, and a few other 4 or 5 day weekends. Not too bad for a hagwon monkey like me.
