Hey all- tomorrow is the official one month mark for me. I am a bag of all sorts of emotions. I am excited, relieved, anxious, sad, happy, worried, depressed, thankful, etc etc. It has been quite a journey here in Korea and it is really strange that it is coming to an end. It's like my life in Charlotte has been on hold and I have been living in this parallel world. I am thinking about what it will be like when I get back. Of course, my mind is consumed with the worry about a job. It couldn't be a worse time to be looking for a job, but it is what it is. Some of the American teachers here are just resigning as they know a job here is a sure thing, whereas maybe not so much at home. Resigning is not an option for me though. One- I promised my Mom only one year! ;) Two- I miss my dogs way too much. Three- I want my "real" life to start moving forward again. I am enrolling in a Master's program this summer to begin working toward that goal. I really miss my church and my community there. I do have some friendships here that will be difficult to leave- but now I have global connections (ha ha).
This week is our last "regular program" week. We are running a 3-day program Feb 1-3. Unfortunately, that means I will be at work when the Super Bowl is on. Bummer. After that, I guess our time will be spent cleaning and organizing for next year. I should have lots of time to pack, so that is good.
We got a few more inches of snow this weekend, so it is blanketed in white again. It looks so pretty. My friend Allison will be here on Friday, so I will spend one last long weekend in Seoul. Lunar New Year is this upcoming weekend, so I am sure there will be interesting stuff going on, but don't really know what yet. We are hopefully taking a River Cruise on Saturday- but not sure if that is going to happen as some of the Han River is frozen. Either way, I am sure we will have fun.
Please keep my job search in your prayers. I am sure it will all work out according to His plan. I can't wait to touch base with you all again soon. Love-
