Still, there is a lot to be said for the 3 months that I have been here. I have had many ups and downs. Living in a foreign country is hard. Really, really hard. And I think it's even harder if you do it on your own.
I've learned more about myself. I learned that I can surprise myself with courage. I have learned that it's ok to do things by yourself. And I have. I've done a LOT by myself. But I also know that if I'm not careful I could spend entirely too much time alone in my apartment reading, watching movies, and sleeping. I sleep a lot in Korea in order to pass the time. I learned that I like teaching even though I'm pretty sure I'm not all that great at it. Kids don't love me, but I don't think they hate me either. I'm convinced teaching would be easier if I spoke the same language as the kids I was teaching, but I can't be sure. I've realized that I'm not willing to do what it takes to join a clique/group of friends even though it's something I desire.
It's officially winter here in Korea. It snowed on Saturday with big soft white flakes that stuck to the ground. A few hours later though the sun came out and most of the snow melted.
