Taking middle school English by storm.
I got an email from my Korean co-teacher, Ms. Lee. Perfect timing too. I was thinking of getting the school's email address from their website (its one of the few things actually in English) and emailing them, but Ms. Lee beat me to it. She seems really nice...from the email at least, and envious of my chance to go abroad.
That got me thinking. I am really lucky to be doing this, and I'm very thankful for the opportunity I have. Not many people can decide to up and move across the world to a strange land where the culture and language are so different. I'm a lot more scared about moving than I let on, but I also see the adventure in it, which far outweighs the fear.
Anyways...my co-teacher told me that I'd be living in the apartment that my predecessor currently lives in. She said that as far as apartments go it is a little better than the rest. The only downfall is that it isn't located within walking distance of my school. Its about a 10 minute drive. Good thing I got my International Driving Permit! The high school English teacher said he lives near where I'll be living and that he usually just takes a taxi. He also said that he'd be willing to share a cab.
As for my visa, my co-teacher said she submitted my documents on Thursday and that they should be back within a week. I hope it comes sooner rather than later.
