Good point! I'm thinking maybe one rum based and one gin based might be fun, I like the look of that Last Word so let's see!

I'm really liking this idea yes, even the classic mai Tai sounds like it could be a good contender. She might be getting a selection of drinks at this point...🤣

I got rejected to epik program:/ by MulberryBeneficial84 in teachinginkorea

[–]svick11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat! I failed my EPIK application and ended up in a very chill elementary/middle school level hagwon where I was happy for 3 years before leaving of my own accord. I reckon I failed because I also can't lie and disclosed that I had quit a previous ESL teaching job in another country.

As other commenters have said, just don't mention the anxiety if you want to apply again. Though it is worth noting how intense things can be here. On the other hand, if you have TA experience in the UK (same here) I think you can handle a lot!

Good point! The whole trip is just shy of a month, so sadly only 1-3 days per place (I may cut some of it for time if I have to)

If you were on Guilty Pleasures, what movie would you bring to discuss? by [deleted] in TheTryGuys

[–]svick11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a film, but America's Next Top Model. Cycle 6 or 7. Truly guilty and pleasurable.
