To Be Continued...

So I don't know if I will ever really blog on here anymore. I hope to have many more trips to Korea to visit friends. Perhaps I will even return to teach again some day. But for now I am continuing on with living life, finding love...but in the U.S. So I have made a new blog where I will be posting, adding pictures and generally telling the story of my life. Hopefully you all will continue to follow...http://kurichaninlife.blogspot.com/

And so it ends...

I have been not so strangely absent again, mostly because I have begun my preparations to return home to the states. I leave this Saturday morning on a long ass flight with my dog back to my...homeland. I've been hanging out with many people, visiting what I can, taking so many pictures that my camera dies at least twice a day. And I promis there will still be more posts for me to put up once I have more time.

I'd have to say that overall I have enjoyed my time here in Kimchi-land. And depending on what happens when I return home maybe Korea will be in my future again. There are many things that I would change if it were up to me but it isn't....and that is probably for the best. I met so many great people here and had many many great experiences that I can share with family and friends back home. I am hoping to return for a week or so in the Spring for a dear friend's wedding so I will be seeing some of you when I return=^^=

Heehee....

So I am back again after another long break. Well in reality I didn't feel like blogging. But now I do.

My time here in Korea is quickly winding down. I purchased my plane ticket and am scheduled to leave good ol' kimchi-land September 12. I'm equal parts sad and excited. Sad because I have many good friends here whom I will miss dearly, but excited because I feel itchy and ready to return to school. I've found that I really do enjoy teaching. I don't know if I enjoy teaching just English or teaching in general. So that will be a chore of mine to figure out. I've begun applying to grad schools back home and will hopefully be back in school October 1 of this year...as in a few weeks AFTER I get back into the U.S. Things will be very busy for me in the next two months. I'm not ruling out coming back to Korea though, so we will see. If certain things(job, school, personal, etc.) all work out then I will be staying in the U.S. But I am planning to save enough money to visit Korea and Japan in the Spring od 2010.

So what has been going on with me lately? Well my title as Head Instructor has been winding down. It really does make me sad which no one really seems to get, but hey. It's first and foremost a business.

I'm planning a weekend beach trip with some friends to a coworker's hometown on the east coast which should be awesome. I haven't been to the beach in years and I am really excited to get out of Seoul/Gyeonggi finally. It only took me....13months, lol. I'm planning on doing more sightseeing in general expecially now that I finally got my camera battery. So I can begin taking pictures....and posting regularly.

I have a few backlogged posts to publish so those will be coming up soon. I promise!!!

As They Say...

I suppose I just have to pick up and keep truckin' along. It sucks, it hurts...but I know it will for some time. I honestly didn't see it coming. Especially with me only having 2months left in my contract...

Now I just have to focus on working as much as possible, working out, getting everything ready for grad school. And decide whether or not I will take a 3 month break, defer grad school for a year and come back to Korea to teach another year, or go home for good and straight into grad school. My family is pushing of course for me to come home for good but it is my choice. I have to decide what's best for me...

...I wish he was here to help me decide...

That much closer to a sad good-bye...

Hmmm...just now realizing how much I truly will miss this place...good-bye to the place that has been my home for these past 4 years. Hello to a future I have yet to meet. I'm apprehensive as hell but I'm excited too. Hopefully more good than bad is headed my way.
REST WHEN YOU DIE!!!
