this is it...

Week 3:

So I finally passed training! yay! no more stressing out about getting grilled, no more getting grilled, and no more crappy hotel room!
I mean, I loved my roommates, but it did suck living out of a suitcase.

I am now in Suwon (YeongTong). I will be teaching 3 different classes on mondays through fridays.
It sucks because I was trained to teach 2 specific classes, but now I have to teach 3 classes in which 2 I wasn't trained for. yikes.

Yes, I am scared. What if they don't like me? What if I'm a bad teacher? ugh...

Anyways, I will post pictures up of my new apartment soon. I finally finished unpacking and did my first load of laundry. I also just finished watching a whole season of Glee, which means I am behind on prepping for my first class!

Oh and I miss my dog so much, I might just get me a puppy. just sayin..

It's like I traveled back in time to be ahead of time!

Day 1: I kind of hate it?

I dont know.. my flight experience was by far the worst. It definitely beats out that one time a baby threw up on my lap on my way to Houston, TX.

Not only was I stuck between two viet men that are at least 60 years old, but the guy in the window seat couldn't control his bladder for more than two hours! geeeeezzz.

On top of that, I forgot to take my Benadryl, so I ended up watching SIX movies and sleeping ZERO hours on my "it-was-supposed-to-be-14-but-ended-up-bei
ng-15" hour flight. I don't care how much it costs me, I'm never flying anything lesser than business class next time...IF there is a next time. ugh.

Roads are so bumpy in Seoul.. I almost threw up on my grandma in the backseat of my uncle's car. On top of that, we were stuck in "weekend" traffic for 3 freakin hours. ughhhhh

Why is it so freakin hot in Korea. I'm sitting in front of a fan that's on full blast as I'm typing this. i hate :(.

BUT this is only the first day here. actually, first night. On a more positive note, we had some BANGIN "hanwoo" beef. Korean grown cows DO taste different and DO taste better. Too bad they cost an arm and a leg. kind of.
I took this picture with my gramma at her house. this is the only pic i got in today. Enjoy.

sidenote: I always thought my mom's side grandparents were much more different than her. WRONG. My grandma is JUST like my mom. JFLSKJDFLSEJIOR omg. i love her, but JESUS! it's like I never got away :( :( :( :( :( I'm gunna die.
