Keeping Tabs on the Wanderer: Better Late...

I've come to the realization that though my blog entries are few and far between, there is little "few" about them. So I am going to try to post less text, more photos, and hopefully more frequently--as I am beginning to realize that though people tell me I should write a book about all my travels, no one wants to read it unless it actually IS a book.

Perhaps I can keep the interest if I scrap the length. So, here goes.

Since finding out that my contract would not be extending at my current school, I have been finding future (and current) sources of income to help cover the cost of food and such, as well as paying for the monthly payments back home. At first I was worried that I wouldn't find enough to keep my busy/fully funded. Now I am worried that I have bitten off more than I can fit into my schedule for the next three weeks while still working.

I have also been looking into LASIK surgery and battling back and forth as to my decision on the matter. It's so cheap here, but for some reason I'm still hesitant. So, for now, I will continue to hold off I think.

Mind those squirrels. What a dent they make!

My birthday has also come and gone. It was a very emotional time for me. Feeling very homesick and missing everyone oodles made for a soppy mess of a birthday girl at dinner and an early turn in for the night. But, the weekend following proved to be enjoyable despite the homesickness. We rented a car and drove around the whole island, finally getting to see all of the island I have called my home for nearly a year now! Though it was overcast and grey mostly all weekend, it was calming and comfortable and made me very happy and thankful.

As part of a belated birthday gift, I got a new haircut and style from my dear friend Maggie. I wasn't sure how the Koreans would take it, but whether they like it or not, I'm rockin it and I love it!

So, I am now 28 years old, too busy for my own good, have a sassy new hairstyle, and only have just over three weeks of work at my current school. And such is life in Korea--fast and ever changing.
