Getting Ready to Leave

Hello All

Well, I am off again to the other side of the world. Before I left Korea, I swore that I would never go back. Yet, after being home for a while (like, a month) I found it difficult to adjust being back. Don't get me wrong - I missed Canada terribly - especially the clean, fresh air. Taking a deep breath and not choking on a bad smell (usually, non-identifiable) is something I took for granted.

As the months rolled by, it will be 7 months that I have been home and have not found anything worth doing. So, around month #4, I decided that I should look into going back to see what I could find. By the time June rolled around, I was starting to get nervous. I hadn't found any jobs that I liked. Yet, I was patient and waited for something that was perfect. Through a recruiter from Work 'n Play, I will be a EFL teacher for LCI Kids Club in Mokdong. This is in Seoul, South Korea.

As I have been before, I am wiser at what to pack and what not to pack. Yet, as I look at the task in front of me - I want to run away screaming!!! It seems overwhelming to cram what I need for the better part of a yet into two seemingly tiny suitcases. Oh, by the way, I will be carting along my hockey equipment this year as there is an ice rink right around my apartment. Yay!!!! Also, I have been looking for things to decorate my classroom with. Yes, I get my own classroom - another selling point of the job. I am not going as crazy as I did the last time, but I was glad I did because it came in very handy.

Well, that's it for now. I am waiting for my confirmation of employment to arrive. Hopefully this will happen by Friday morning. Then I can offically book my plane ticket and I am off July 29th for another year.
