Shucks I wrote a post but it deleted itself.
Random conversation that happened when I went to collect my research/gender paper from the korean lecturer. It began with the innocuous question,
"So what are you doing this hols?
"The same, teaching part-time"
"Where?"
"Sometimes at KoolPurpleSkool"
"Oh! My daughter is going there!"
"When?"
"...My daughter is going there"
"Oh! (when I realised she was saying her daughter is currently going there) I have a Korean student now.."
"What's her name? I might know her..."
My brain blanks out at the most inopportune times, especially since exam aftermath equals brain death.
"Errrrrmmmmm....Soo something. Soo Ree? I know her surname is P***"
She gives me the "I-can-remember-all-my-students'-names-you-can't-even-remember-one?!" look.
Hey it's not my fault. I've only met her once and haven't even started teaching her yet.
"... *lame laugh*"
"Would you like to do some research?"
"Huh?"
"Oh because some of the students are doing their placement this holidays so (they can't do)..."
"..."
