i'm still not sure what i will do at the end of this month. i am looking into some public school jobs in ilsan, but i am also looking into jobs in bangkok and phuket. i hope i will get things sorted out soon, so i can start making plans. i really like making plans.
right now, i am starting to think a bit of time at home would be a good idea for me. i came to korea in october of last year, so it has been nearly a year since i was last home. i want to sit on the back porch and drink coffee with my mom while it's still misty in the morning. i want to go paddling. i want to spend the weekends on the beach in apalachicola. i want to get my grad school applications in order and take the gre (maybe study for it a little bit as well).
in my efforts to figure things out, i have made a pros and cons sheet for thailand and korea. while the reasons for each are equal in numbers, there are some huge things to consider. first, I HATE WINTER. i despise winter. i hate snow. i don't mind being inside in the winter for a few moments, but even that gets old quickly. second, i miss the sea. koh samet weekends were the best. phi phi and phuket are pretty nice as well. third, i'm never going to meet a decent guy in korea. the foreigners in korea are much more uptight than those in southeast asia. here, it's mostly army guys (jerks) and hipster teachers (too skinny). it would be so easy to stay in korea though; i already have a life here. i know my way around, and i know a lot of people.
decisions, decisions. i'll figure it out eventually.
