Something happened at 10:05 PM on Thursday that marks what must be the lowest point of my working life during the past two years. Then, as if life were a movie drama, just seven hours later on Friday early morning, something amazing began to happen, totally unconnected to the previous night's disgrace except that both relate to my job. The Friday thing probably ranks as one of the highest points of my three working years in Korea.
I don't really know if I should write about either one. If I wrote about the former, I'd not be able to avoid negativity and bitterness. It would turn into an "anti-Av****" diatribe. And who likes diatribes? If I wrote about the former, it may look like shameless boasting or self-promotion.

This weekend, I completed thirteen final "straggler" essays which students submitted on Friday, the last day. I won't be correcting another single essay the rest of 2013.
