Homesickness

Insomnia- cured.  Homesickness- insane and out of control right now.  Nothing major brought it on- I think I just could use some time at home.  I miss my family and friends.  I miss my car- a lot right now.  I also am battling with WHY I even came back to Korea for year two!  I really don't know what possessed me.  I hated it the first time round with a passion and the 2nd time round isn't much damn better!

Insomnia

I am going through a bought of insomnia.  It sucks balls.

Happy New Year!

Well it is now 2009!  Woo Hoo!  I go back to work tomorrow.  Boo.  I have been applying for work in Mexico.  I need to work in a nice warm climate.  My skin hates me right now.  And I think it has every right to hate me!  

I am foul and grumpy and not all that impressed with Korea.  

Korea update

Well I have been here for 6, almost 7 weeks.  Christmas is soon approaching.  I have been home sick with Bronchitis and Laryngitis for three days now.  I want to go to work!  Thankfully I go back tomorrow.  Lost my voice, but it is slowly coming back.

I am feeling better about being here, but not great.  I like that I am alone here- lots of time to think and process.  I know where I want to be and I am working hard on getting there.  I've learned more about people in the last 7 weeks then I have in the last 7 years.  That really sucks, but I am glad I know it.

I am going to finish up my prep work for tomorrow.

Korea

Well, 6 months and a few misadventures later, I am back in the land of the NQR(not quite right).  Different city and different school.  I have weekends off- a beautiful change!

I plan on posting some pictures later today- I am off to explore my neighbourhood!

Another Adventure

Well I landed in Ankara, Turkey 25 hours ago.  What a whirlwind few days it's been.  I am beyond tired and really overwhelmed right now.  My brain and senses are in overdrive.  I think it is going to be a good experience for me- both personally and professionally.  I am not nearly as scared or nervous as I was in April 2007 when I went to Korea.  I did it alone then and I can do it alone this time. Some things I have noticed this time around:

1. I did a better pack, even though the time constraints were similar to those before I moved to Korea

2.  I don't stand out as much here as I did in Korea.  I am not such an obvious foreigner here.

3.  I have a better idea(although not great today) at guessing what I am ordering in a restaurant.  

4.  The TV shows and commericals here baffle my mind as much, if not more, as the ones in Korea did.  I am currently watching, what I hope is a commercial full of little boys playing soccer(or football for the Brits) and one team is dressed as Spiderman and the other team is dressed as Batman.  

5.  I did not arrive in Turkey with an ear infection- so I can actually HEAR!  Thats a good thing!

Well I am going to bed.  My body is slowly crapping out on me right now.

Homework

I am beyond tired- and I like it!  I am in school and I am working full time.  I am procrastinating right now; I should be doing homework but I don't feel like it. I am such a bad student- I am the student I hate to teach.  

Well I just spent 30 mins doing homework and have another hour to go.  Oof.  Off to the races!
