This is going to be a super fast update just to fill everyone in.
As much as I loved working at ECC and I love my kids, Katelyn and I were fed up with some stuff and we needed a change. We were offered a job in Seoul (Gangnam to be exact-- one of the most expensive and populated areas in all of Korea). I will be teaching adults and university students in downtown Seoul starting July 1. The hours are going to be a lot to get used to. I work from 6:40am - 11:00 am and 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm. The hours will deprive me of sleep, however, I am going to get paid more which is always a good thing. So, Google Gangnam if you want to get more information. The school is YBM Premier.
Also, on another note, I am officially going to graduate school. I am attending The New School. It's out of New York and I'll be working towards my Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I was offered a merit scholarship of 25% of my tuition so I'm not complaining. I'm hoping for more of course. I'll be making enough money with this new job to pay for my school as I go so I won't have to take loans out. So, I'm pretty excited about that.
Well, sorry to keep this so short but I've got to get going on my TESOL certification-- I'm ready for that to be other with! I'll update more later. Thanks and miss you guys.
And lastly (before I forget), this new job puts my return visit to America non-existent this summer. (Sorry, guys!) I'll be coming home for Shea's wedding in November but for a longer period of time-- maybe two weeks. I'm not exactly sure yet, but I'll let you know when I find out!
