T.V. Star

Ha ha ha... (nervous laugh).  I'm going to be filmed by EBS for two days (if I understood correctly) so they can produce a ten minute segment on the life of a wonomin in Cheongwon.  They wanted a talented elementary school teacher to follow around for a couple of days and according to my co-teacher, I'm... well... I'm the only wonomin in Cheongwon teaching at an elementary school.  So, that acting certificate will finally come in useful.  Maybe I can break into Korean drama as a minority character.

The thing that scares me the most is that they want to focus on school life AND life after school.  I have NO life after school.  I actually dread going home most days, because there is nothing to do.  I have been trying to establish some boundaries, e.g. don't take schoolwork home, don't take novels to school, so I can at least have some kind of 'coming home' feeling.  But inevitably I end up on the internet for most of the afternoon at school, and on the internet for most of the evening at home.  I do my preparation between classes in the morning and my homework and study at night.  It's going to be a crushing revelation for the world (Chungcheongbuk-do at least) to see how boring my life is.  So I am faced with two options- let it be a piece of genuine reality t.v. and don't change a thing, so it can be an honest piece, or make up a life ultra-quick.  I just got told about this ten minutes ago, so I'll post this now and see how the story unfolds.
