It's one of those weeks when I can't help but wonder if my job is worth the stress. It's seminar week. Which means that Saturday morning, I have to wake up at 5:30am and head to Daechon (a city a few hours south of Seoul), and give my hour long presentation on the drama program I'm creating to over 100 people who want to be entertained. It's not really a presentation so much as a performance. I sort of feel like I go up there, smile really big, do a little dance, sing a little song, pull up volunteers who so totally don't want to be on stage, and try to make them as un-bored as possible.
It's also one of those weeks where I feel really conflicted with how I feel about my work. I like the responsibility and being important and I really love that I'm creating and purposeful. I hate the stress that comes with it at times, and I hate that I'm creating and placed with all of this responsibility in such an unorganized, anxiety-filled environment.
Mostly, I'll just be glad when I open the door to my apartment Saturday evening, throw on my yoga pants, pour myself a glass of wine, and take a deep breathe knowing that another seminar is over.
