Changes – Part O (ie 5)

I’m hanging out here at Krispy Kreme enjoying my time off. Generally, I don’t do vacation time very well at all. This time is different. I guess I really needed this short break.

As I said last night (sadly it seems I can type faster on my iPod than on my spacebar-less laptop) my stuff is in Daejon. I’ll end up staying in a hotel there for a few days until my bed is delivered (Kathryn + floor = pain). I start teaching on monday.

Today, I bought myself a Korean cookbook. I’m looking forward to trying some of the recipes. I love Korean food, so it should be fun. There are a few recipes I want to have my dad try to make for my grandma. She would probably enjoy some of the zucchini ones.

I’ll end by saying the WordPress app for the iPod touch/iPhone is great. Who knew sitting, drinking tea, and blogging could be such a great combination!!

Change – Part Sa (ie 4)

So I’m sitting here in my hotel room in Ulsan. I finished at Little Campus yesterday. There were only a few tears. My stuff has arrived in my apartment in Daejon. The cats are being boarded at the vet’s office. I’ll move up to Daejon this weekend. I start teaching at my new school on Monday.

I plan on relaxing the best I can over the next few days. I’m looking forward to meeting the students and staff at Maple Square. I’m also looking forward to exploring Daejon. It sounds like a neat place.

Sorry this is so short. I’m on my laptop which is lacking a space bar.

Changes – Part Sam (ie 3)

OK. Here’s the deal. I was just offered a job in Daejeon. I think this is the one. The director’s teaching philosophy meshes quite well with mine. I think she has a great kindergarten program. She’s willing to work with my schedule (I finish here the beginning of July but she doesn’t really need me until the beginning of August). Daejeon seems like a pretty cool city. It’s known as the Silicon Valley of Korea. That’s right up my ally (even though I wouldn’t be able to really take advantage of it).

Once I get some more details, I’ll update again.

I’m so excited.
