Is This The One?!

I declined that offer that I wrote about a week or so ago. Since then I've had a few more interviews and offers. I had an interview on Sunday with a school that has a really cute website. It went really well and I was offered a position with the school. I received the contract and its really good. I asked the headmaster for a current foreign teacher's contact information to ask all the nitty-gritty questions and I'm still waiting for her response. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to accept and I'm really excited about it!! So keep your fingers crossed for me that this is a great school and the perfect school for me.

With the realization of possibly leaving soon, I'm starting to have a little anxiety. I've been thinking of all of the things that I need to do and get before I leave. I'm getting sad to say goodbye to my family, friends and all of the families I babysit for. I know that its going to be a tough transition but I'm looking forward to all of the excitement and adventures to come.

I finished one of my books on Korea, Culture Shock Korea, today. I learned a lot about Korean history, customs and that most of my time is going to be taken up with going out with Korean co-workers. It sounds a little overwhelming if you ask me. I mean, I need my "me time" to recharge my internal battery almost everyday. Not to mention, you're basically required to drink at all social outings. (Should be interesting!)

I'm sure that once I'm in Korea I'll be blogging more, but I encourage all of my readers to get on Skype so that we can actually have regular conversations...email can only get you so far.
