I'm sure he will find a Saturday for you to make it up.  |

my hagwon's taking a half-day, but it's the wrong half.. we've got to show up at noon to teach whatever stragglers come in til evening. *grumbles*
on a side note, i don't suppose foreigners are allowed to vote, are we? |

E-2? Of course not
F-2 no
F-5 yes if you've had it for three years.
I could be wrong on that though. |

You are.
Every E-2 I've talked to has it off, at least five hagwons and a couple dozen waygook E-2s. |

I forgot to quote the post above mine.
I was referring to being able to vote.
Of course visa status would have nothing to do with getting the day off! |
