I was thinking that I had profound things to say today, but in actuality, I do not. Instead I will leave you with a few quotes to describe how my life is going.
"We're going to like Korea dammit!!!"
-This was said after we heard numerous horror stories about Korea from everyone we encountered. We are determined to like it here, and so far it is working out for us reasonably well.
"I wrote it in pen, so I couldn't change my mind."
-Paco said this when she was telling me about her essay written at the Andy Prep interview. It turned out to be foreshadowing. Andy Prep told us they only had enough hours for one teacher so we took a job at another school. Four days later, Andy Prep offered us two positions due to increased enrollment, but we had already signed a contract with our school so we couldn't change our minds.
"Don't tell the school, they might not hire me."
-I felt a little like I was playing a part in a school play when I went on job interviews. I had on a costume and makeup and delivered the same lines about why I had come to Korea over and over.
"Who invented that?" -AJ "Invented what?" -me "Drinking..." -AJ
-This was what one of our co-workers said about the first night that we went out to the Owl (local bar) and stayed out until 5 a.m.
