Finally on my way! I remember the night I got the email offering me the job and how anxious I was thinking “oh my goodness! I only have two weeks!” Well… due to time for paperwork processing, two weeks turned into three, and really- two weeks would have been enough! Now I’m stressed about missing that first week of classes and having to jump into week two teaching a book I’ve never seen and a class I’ve never taught. But my friend CareyAnn reassures me that the book is very self explanatory and quite simple to teach.
So now, here I sit at the airport with a wait of 5 hours… though now only 2 more hours left until boarding. My flight leaves at 1 AM and I have a 14 hour direct flight from Chicago to Seoul. Then a two hour bus ride, a short taxi ride and I should arrive at my new “home”… for now just a little “hole in the wall”… but it’s my hole! I’m sure in no time at all I’m sure it will be quite homey.
I didn’t quite manage to stay under my weight limit for my bags and had to pay a $50 overage… though at this point money doesn’t really matter so much anymore… I just want to get there! 16 hours and I shall say ANYANG KOREA!
Meanwhile I have the entire lobby of people to entertain me for the next 2 hours. There is one fantastic man who I am convinced is going to Korea just for the hip hop culture… its something about the way he is jamming with his headphones by himself… in the middle of the lobby. I instantly like him. I also think the little boy three seats down needs a diaper change… I sure as heck hope its not me that smells this way! *^-^*
