life changing.

my decisions on coming here were to follow my dreams...doing something that I always have wanted to do since I was in grade school. I worked my butt off, well sort of through university so i could get my degree. After getting my degree, i knew that coming here was a great opportunity to travel and gain experience with what i want to do as a career.

the experience is definitely life changing. I have now realized that I don't want to teach. although it gives me great joy when I am with the students and teaching them English skills...the idea of doing the same thing all the time makes the job very unappealing. after 4 months of the same old routine I am extremely bored. but how would i know if i didn't come here? i would have wasted so much money and effort getting into teachers college and then after teaching a few months realize that it wasnt the right job for me... i now need to think of a plan b. that plan...im not sure what it is yet...but im sure i will figure it out from now till March 2011.

nevertheless, i am having a great time meeting new people, traveling and learning about Korean culture. like I mentioned... Cambodia is coming up very quickly and I am very excited about it! i've already done many places in seoul, the dmz, next week mudfest, and am planning on traveling more in korea and around korea.

i knew that coming here would have changed some things back home...but i took the risk because i believed all the relationships i had back home were strong enough to get through this. I do miss everyone so much...and I am terribly homesick. but i know when i get home it will be like i never left...for the most part at least... i love you all. thank you for sticking by me. YOU SHOULD ALL COME AND VISIT ME. now. but i do understand if can't...so email!!! skype!!! and text me yo.

my life has changed in so many ways throughout these last 4-5 months. i can't wait to see what else is to come...
