I've been saying good bye to so many people that you'd think it would have hit me already that I'm leaving to live in a strange country for a year, but it hasn't! I'm kind of expecting to wake up in a month and think "Hey, I'm in Korea." We'll see.
I've almost finished packing, and feel surprisingly calm, cool and collected. Aren't I always though? Haha! It took me forever to decide on a school (and an age group - thanks Dad, you're right I was overanalysing) but I've taken a job teaching elementary and middle school. No kindergarten. I'm surprised I actually considered it seeing as I hate little kids and all (ok not hate, but not I'm not really overenthusiastic about them), and I'm glad I took the time to find this job.
A little crazy since I thought I would be leaving end of March, I only found out I would be leaving so soon about a week ago. But, I think I've said good bye to almost everyone and am ready to go!
So, to start off this adventure, an e-mail I received from the director of my school:
Dear Ashley
Do you want to use internet? Actually, After you make a ARC card ,you can install the internet. It takes long time. If you want to use it, you can use it(old teacher enroll-next time we can change name) In Korea, it is about 35,000-40,000won in a month
As soon as you arrive in airport, you can meet porter guy who pick up the sign (maybe your name). It takes 90minutes to come school. If you have a problem or question, call me.
Take care
Charles
Off to bed for some sleep now... next time I write I'll be in KOREA! Weird.
Night!
