I apologize for my absence in posts lately. I have been extremely busy with work and the stress of life in Korea. All is well...just busy!
My friend Eric from Indiana came over to Korea for a couple days while in transit to China! It was so wonderful to have a friend visit! His timing couldn't have been better. His fresh set of excited eyes were a huge pick me up. I enjoyed showing him my "home" town, introducing him to my new friends, demonstrating proper chopstick use, and enlightening him with what I know about the culture, food, and language thus far. I am now a prepared tour guide and ready for more visitors!!!

The first couple days Eric was here, he spent time with me in Seosan. He was able to visit my school and observe a few of my classes. He was definitely exhausted after entertaining my little students. We went up to Seoul for the weekend to meet up with Jackie. The three of us met in Kenya a couple years ago when we were teaching and living on the farm in Bungoma. It was awesome to reconnect in a new continent and share updates and crazy stories from all of our recent adventures.

Saturday night we took Eric to the norebang for a real Korean experience. We broke out the tambourines and dancing shoes while we rocked out to our favorite songs from the 90's!

Sunday morning, Jackie and I put Eric on a bus and sent him on his way to China. Then we were off to meet our friends for Sushi Sunday!!!

Come March, I will no longer be a kindergarten teacher...can I get a hallelujah?!?!?! As shocking as this may be, my director noticed that I'm not the best with the little ones...haha, who knew? Therefore, she gave me the option to switch my hours and teach "night" classes once my students graduate in February. My new schedule will be from 1-8 and I will teach students ranging in age from late elementary up through high school. I think I will really enjoy my new schedule. Since I will not have to be to work until 1, I will be able to take pleasure in the morning sun while sitting on my roof reading a book. I'm ready for March!
