Basically Same Old Same Old

Wow! When did it become the second week in February? Time seems to just be flying by. Things at the Village are going alright. I love the students and the class that I am teaching (I am teaching Classroom 2 - we play a version of headbands for 45minutes). The political stuff at the Village is sometimes less than desirable.... but I think that wherever I would go... and no matter which country I would be in politics are everywhere. It is just a matter of learning to deal and only make waves if the issue is important enough for you.
Things with my roommate are good. We decided against going to Thailand next week... because I am going to be going to Canada June 3-15 and she is going to Australia in July... so the cash sitch needs to be watched. We are however going to be taking a journey within this country. I mean it would be nice to actually see some places outside of Seoul... I hear that the KTX is both a safe a decent mode of transportation... also we may take the ferry over to Japan... just to say that we did it.
Overall things are pretty good right now. I have emotionally been in a weird place lately though. Living and working at the same place... basically living in a compound... sometimes makes you too reliable on other people... and well... I am finding that I am longing for a life... for friends... for time outside of the Village. Don't get me wrong.. most of the people I work with are amazing... and I recommend this place to anyone coming over to teach English... but it can sometimes be hard. I just need to work on being okay with going places by myself... and be more open to meeting new people. I am still tossing the idea around about buying a laptop soon... if and or when I do.. I would like to take maybe an online course to keep me busy. I know that for some people teaching English will and can be a meaningful lifelong career... but since I am not sure... and I still toy with the idea of one day returning to Canada... I think that having some idea of what I would like to do in the longterm... well that would be helpful. My ideas are constantly changing... but lately I have been contemplating becoming a Guidance Counsellor... who knows... it may change tomorrow.
Anyhoo... I promise that the next updates woint be few and far betweeen.
HUGS and Cheers!
