Pending Contract

I can't believe that Alexandra and I were supposed to leave for Prague today...its kind of a sad day. Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited about the Republic of Korea and I know that we'll have fun anywhere, but it would be awesome to be drinking Pivo tomorrow.

I've been talking to a few recruiters and a couple hagwons (private schools) via email. I've had two interviews and was offered a job contract last week. I've been researching the school, but I want to take a look at another contract. I was supposed to have a phone interview tonight, with a school that is looking to hire two teachers. And while I did get a call, I don't think that it was the person I was supposed to interview with. It was such an awkward conversation/interview. I only have one other phone interview to compare it with, but it was really short and the interviewer said "like" 20 times. And I thought that I sometimes spoke like a valley girl!

So I have to make a decision on the offer that was made to me last week by tomorrow. Which would mean I would leave either at the end of October or in early November! I just received my official transcripts from UCSB. I still need to obtain a criminal background check, which is going to be so much fun! And did I mention that they want my official diploma?! Crazy!

Other than that, life has been pretty good lately. I've been baby sitting a lot, which is super fun. And hanging out with random friends here and there. I watched The Time Traveler's Wife last week and totally cried my eyes out (great movie). I also saw Inglorious Bastards, which I didn't like. I should have known that it was going to be bloody/gory, but I wasn't expecting it to be that bad!

Well, I'll keep you posted as to my decision on the pending contract once I decide!
