Seems elementary but every time I tie a tail it's too tight on my scalp. Takes practice I guess. I my desire to get it all in there is the root of the problem. I think I will pay more attention to my coworkers while they do it, as some of them re-tie their own hair at least twice a work day, either out of habit or discomfort.
Also in the past week I've had students in three different classes ask me to get a haircut. I don't give a damn what they want me to do, but I have had class management issues at times, and I can just imagine the students complaining to the school director when I send them out of class "seongsangnim, I don't listen to him because I don't respect him, he looks like a crazy man/woman". I don't see how Koreans can forget many centuries of Korean men wearing their hair long, or consider it unacceptable, when there are popular TV dramas broadcast every night, with long haired men with half tails, high tails, and braids. This country prides itself on its "illustrious 5000 year history" and yet it seems determined to forget it all in the thirst for cell phones, TOEFL scores, military homogeniety and Starcraft.
Lol, way to stay on topic! /claps self on the back.

You have some great looking long hair there. Those students are either crazy or just plain jealous =)
I agree they MUST be jealous!!!
GORGEOUS HAIR, keep it.
Hi Revan,
you got great hair, and I'd just hold out, you are not going to stay there forever, after all. I'd ask other teachers what they do if they got issues with discipline. It's great that you got the 5000 year history argument on your side.
In any case, happy growth, and, all the best!

great hair...very shiny and healthy!! :)
Revan,
Hair looks great. How much longer in Korea? And the tail does take practice getting "right". Too tight is painful. Too loose a mess. It's been years now, but I can do it while sitting at a red light, no mirror. Just keep practice.

Thanks, 6 months to go. Had a pretty good day at work today with the exception of one group of middle schoolers who refused to say anything at all - they just sat there with their heads down in a silent protest against being forced to learn English.
