preparation

My time in Korea is almost over. As one part of my life closes another opens.

I don't have many things here anymore. Last week I finished the bulk of my packing. Now I just have the stuff I'll carry on to the plane. My last day here is August 10. I will fly from Seoul to New York and spend some time with my grandmother before I head down to South Carolina.

My next step? Well, I don't know what that is yet. I don't actually believe there is a next step. All I believe is that I must move forward. I know I'll be coming back to Asia soon. This is where my heart is.

The next few weeks I have to teach advanced classes and English camp. It's not bad, but the students seem to be frustrated with me about it. I think they thought it was going to be easy, but they were wrong. I'm making my advanced classes write letters to someone they admire and write a story about a place. My English camp students are making a movie which they will have to perform. I think it will be fun. :)

Now I am trying to get my sleep back and life back in order before I leave. I have been under stress a lot these days, so it has been difficult for me to sleep at night or feel comfortable at home. Most of this stress is work related. My co-workers don't realize how stressful it is working with them. But what do I know. I'm just the dumb foreigner. :P

I'm going to try to write more often in this blog. Hopefully my English won't be atrocious to my readers.

long time......

It's been a while since I posted on this blog. I haven't had a whole lot to talk about lately.

I'm trying to cope living in Asia. It's very hard! I don't know how to attempt to explain all the details or mentality that exists here, but it has taken its effect on me. Whether it's positive or negative I can't tell yet. Learning to live with it is the hard part; thinking about it later is the best thing for now....
