... are the absolute worst thing about this job.

I had one today, and it never fails to make me furious.

That is all.

Welcome to Korea. You have experienced the Korean Condition. The Korean culture is very Bali Bali (Hury Hurry) mixed with a ability to not plan. My worst last m8inute change I ever had is being told to plan for a Halloween party an hour before it starts.

You need to try and raise your awareness of the school and business. Meaning if winter break period is in a couple of weeks and the school has said nothing about winter intensive classes you might want to start checking with teachers and the boss if something is going to happen. Also learn to ask you co-teacher and that preemptive questions. Hey are there any class changes? Is this class this book? Ask the qeustion everyday before you go home "Is there anything I need to know". Do not expect a memo!

That is what happens when planning in lax or non-existent.
