The Seminar of Doom

Well work is starting to wind down and at the same time speed up. For maybe the first time in the history of TEFL or CYD I am actually teaching more than a TEFL. Totally not what I signed up for, during CYD training all we did was practice making balloon animals. Which may sound easy but you go ahead and try to make a balloon sheep. This weekend I am putting on a seminar for graduating students and it is not going well so far. My original budget has been cut to a fraction of its former self and students keep ripping down the posters in school that I have made, oh and no one has signed up yet. Not gonna lie, Im freaking out about this whole thing. All is not lost however, Salomon and Fahd are coming up to help me teach the seminar and even if no one shows up it will still be fun. That and for the most part I have solved the crippling shortage of money that the seminar is suffering from, and most Mongolians wont sign up until the last possible moment. So who knows we still may pull this thing off. Did I mention that I have no idea how many people are going to show up? I mentioned that no one might show up, paradoxically that is not the worse senario. What is worse is if hundreds show up and I have no where to put them, this is a very real concern as my school has over 300 graduating students. Well stay tuned for the exciting conclusion to THE SEMINAR OF DOOM.
