Since I've got a lot of free time as of late, I thought I would give a small update on my goings on.
Still no job. I'm waiting to hear from The Korea Times. I'm hoping that will be soon. I sent an email on Wednesday so hopefully they'll get in touch. If all else fails, I'll just go back to Berlitz. But I hate the waiting game. More and more I'm wondering if I should go back to Berlitz. The hours aren't bad, the money is good and I'm use to the lifestyle. Korea Times will be a newspaper lifestyle. Long hours, late end time, no holidays, probably low pay, working on Saturdays. But I'm use to that as well. We'll see.
I've been using most of my time with friends to try and keep my mind off things. I'm trying not to spend a lot of money, but that is proving a little difficult. Especially since I'm spending a lot of time at home and I keep seeing little things that I would like to make things more organized. A bookshelf here. A cabinet for the coffee pot, toaster and toaster oven. New light bulb for the bathroom. A hamper. Etc. Doesn't help that I went out with a friend to help her buy sunglasses and ended up with a new pair of sunglasses, a pair of shorts, a new cardigan and a new book... Yea, gotta start working on that. At least my friends and I are being more money-conscience when we go out... Thank goodness Korea is not expensive to live in...
But yea, life is okay and I'm making it. I suppose worse case scenario I can come home and marry Mar. Gramma is all for that, though I think it's because she wants me home in the States, not necessarily because she wants a son-in-law...
Keep your chin up Emma, you'll find whatever job is right for you. Maybe Berlitz will give you a good chance to reevaluate your options in Korea. :) *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThanks. So far, I'm still okay, but every now and then it gets to me. Today was a tough day, but mainly because it was a rainy, dark day and I spent it at home. I just have to force myself to be motivated. Maybe clean the house or something. ^_^
