Wow. So much time has passed since I updated last. Almost a year. Things have changed so much here, definitely for the better. I'm happier than I was at this point last year and everything in my life seems to be coming together. I think about who I was before I came here and who I am now, and it is apparent that I've changed a lot. Primarily, I've grown up. I know who I am and I know I can face any challenges the world throws at me. I've been thinking about publishing some piece of writing about my experience here. In particular, something regarding gender studies or the queer community but with school applications and life having taken up a great deal of my time during the fall, I can really only think about relaxing now and setting up to leave/start school. Maybe I'll try to get some interviews and such before I leave in a month or so.
I officially leave Korea in 2 and a half months for New Jersey for a week, then Michigan for U of M Law's admitted students' weekend, and then to the Keys. Thennnnn. Either back to Michigan for their summer start program or somewhere else. I have yet to hear from some schools since it's pretty early, so I'm not making my decision yet. :P
As for Korea, I've loved you but our time together is ready to close. I've met so many wonderful people here and have had so many great memories that I'll be able to hold on to forever. I'm going to update this blog with some words of wisdom for future English teachers so I'll be back soon.
