I feel gross

The end of a friendship

ALl friendships run their course. If they are meant to survive they would. Sadly not all survive. RIP to all those lost friendships that have ended over BS

Holiday Blues

It's almost Christmas. I am not a fan of this time of year. It's hard. I am far away from the ones I love!

back in canada

finally back in canada

YAY

Reality Check...please

Well I leave Korea in about 4 weeks.

Am I scared? Yup! But super excited!

My parents are putting a real damper on my plans of moving back home to British Columbia!

I am 33 years old and they don't listen! I am going to be alienatiting them when I do move. Oh well. No other choice at this point. I am done letting them control my ENTIRE life!

Blah

Almost time to leave Korea. I am wanting to move back to Canada and everyone is poo-pooing the idea. Even my parents. THey are being super annoying

5.5 months

5.5 months left. I can't wait. I really can't! I am so excited to be finally going home! I've enjoyed my time here in Korea but am so ready to leave.

I've been enjoying a 6 day weekend from school for Teacher's Day, Children's Day, and Buddha's birthday. It was much needed and greatly appreciated! Our principal gave us a couple extra vacation days off- and for that I am so grateful! I've been sleeping and just relaxing!

Almost May....

Wow. Time is flying by. WAY too fast!

I am coming up on my birthday in a couple of weeks. EEKS! 33! How am I going to be 33!? I am scared to be turning 33. Honestly! Scared! I hate getting old!

Work is good. Kids are hilarious this year!

back to the old grindstone

back at it!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! 2011! Can't believe it. Time is flying by WAY too fast! I'd like time to slow down just a little bit.

I am excited for January 22nd to get here. I'm burnt out.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Today is Boxing day here in Korea. I am laying low. My washing machine is flooding so I am having to stick close to home, while I do laundry. A tad frustrating but I hope I find a plumber who speaks English so I can get it fixed.

Decision Time

So I have a choice to make. My hair is finally long- past my shoulders. First time in YEARS! Problem is- my back is breaking out in exzema because of the wet hair thing. So the question is- do i cut my hair or do I just deal with the back issue.Hmm. It's taken me a long time to get the hair long! I dunno

Christmas....

Is in less than one week! EEPS! I hate the holidays! I HATE THEM! I am depressed. Full on depressed. I don't want to be here. I need to go home. I need to go home soon, I needed to go home yesterday!

Holy Batman it's cold~~!!!

OH MAN! It is freezing COLD outside! I have my heat cranked to 30C and am wrapped in blankets. Yet I am still frozen to the core!

11 days until christmas

So I decided to not be so grinchy and buy my students(all 400 and something of them). I bought each class a MASSIVE bag of Tootsie pops- 200 in one bag. The grade 5 classes were a bit greedy- and damn near attacked me like savage beasts. The grade 4 classes were so EXCITED! Tomorrow I see my grade 3 students and I am super excited to see their reactions. I know it's just candy- and nothing serious- but I have a letter to each class from Santa Claus taped to each bag.

Thank goodness for weekends

I am excited for vacation. I am liking my job. I really do. I know all jobs has it's quirks- as do all people. The kids are cool. The kids are all right,

One Month....

Well I;ve been at the new school for a month now. I am just not feeling it AT ALL. GRRR. I'm just not feeling it AT ALL. I go home in January for vacation. I can't WAIT! My mind is off in another world and my body wants to follow. I think I am done with Korea.

2 days

I have 2 days left at the high school. Mixed emotions- I'm excited, nervous, sad, happy This is going to be my last year in Korea. 4 years is long enough. I am thinking about Mexico or Thailand. I'm also thinking about China- but not so much. We'll see in a year!

Down to one week

Just over one week left at the high school. I got the elementary job I applied and interviewed for. I found on October 13th. I am SO Excited. So relieved. So happy! My stuff is at immigration right now getting the visa transferred and new ARC card. SO SO SO SO much stress off me right now. OOF. I can't wait! Good news- I get to stay in the same neighbourhood! Very happy about that!

Welcome to October

Happy October 1st! Where the hello has the year 2010 gone?!!!!???? Seriously! My contract finishes in 24 days- 3 weeks. Still no other job! I'm so freaked out! I had an interview yesterday and I am hoping that it went well!
