Update

ok…ok I know it’s been ages since I’ve written a post. Here’s a short one, kind of. hehe ^^;

New co-teacher: She’s really sweet. Funny part she’s from Seoul and misses home a lot. She lives like an hour or 2 away for goodness sakes I live 14+ hours flying, imagine how I feel. -.- If I’m not mistaken her contract is only until June. So we’ll see. Open class this Thursday, I’m not nervous but she is extremely. 

Mr. Secretary: Last I saw him was two almost 3 weeks ago. And he was all adorable in the hall because we didn’t know if we should wave or bow and end up doing everything and laughing. But then the ferry incident happened. After that weekend I haven’t seen him since. I think he knew someone in it. Not sure though. So don’t hold me to that. Hopefully he’ll show up soon. Kind of miss seeing dude around even if he did get in my way.

Everyone else: co-workers the ones since the beginning) have been paying attention to my weight. Which is kind of staying steady. No dramatic changes and I’m ok with that right now. They asked the numbers and once I told them 27kg their jaws basically hit the table. It was hilarious. Of course they asked how I did it. It’s like um…well school is like 3 miles from home and I was walking home a lot. Doesn’t count if I go to the store or something. I eat different here. Not saying I’d say no to cake or pizza, but it is what it is. And I do a lot of walking on the weekends. So now they make sure I get some food, especially if lunch had sesame oil in it.

Then like a week later, I already lost another kg and they asked so it’s like uh…28kg now (a little over 60 pounds). Even miss serious (works in the office and just comes off super serious but she’s lovely) was shocked when she heard. She literally gasped and leaned back shocked. I just nodded and was like yep~ nice weather today. The cleaning lady and the librarian were saying how they are gaining weight from eating off my tray. hahaha 

My co-teacher was surprised and asked questions. She said all the females (the ones who were there when I started) were commenting about how much smaller I am, face changed and blah blah blah. So I had to explain and she was all “Oh…wow…you leave your country to teach and lost a lot of weight. That’s a lot to do so young.” lol She has an older son my age. So I’m still a kid to her too.

Me: Found pants that actually fit! And they are so much cooler too for this warm weather. Will definitely have to get some more later. Finally did my hair. I have my moments where I miss home. It’s going to happen. Then I have those moments where I wonder if I can ever adjust fully to home again. Which at this point I don’t think so. I’ve changed a lot as a person. There are some things that will be culture shock for me. I’d have to find a middle ground when I do go back whenever that is. I feel I have found more of who am and what I want out of life slowly while being here.

Concerts…Minwoo’s is going to be my last for awhile. I need to save as much money as possible. So concerts have to go. Even if I want to see them I have other things to do that’s more important, like next pay~ shoes. Walked my poor sneakers to death and I bought them after I got here.

Plus it’s almost summer time and almost time for my school to ask me to renew my contract. I have to prepare to go home for good just in case they don’t ask. You can never be too sure. I rather be safe than sorry.

If they ask me to renew, heck yeah I will take that guaranteed paycheck gratefully. If not, then I’ve enjoyed my year here and glad I took the chance to do something crazy and random with my life.

I know I sound kind of negative. I’m sick during a break again. And I kind of miss home, plus I just lost another aunt Friday. My emotions are all over the place. It is what it is.

One thing I have enjoyed recently is seeing my former 6th graders. Love those kids and their English is improving too. ^_^

I think that’s it~ time to watch more Gordon Ramsay shows…I swear I can watch him tell people they can’t cook for ages

Until next time~!
