Alas, after accepting the public school position in Ansan, the school had a change of heart. Apparently, their current teacher decided to renew his contract. So, back to the drawing board. This is getting highly frustrating and I know part of it is my fault for wanting a public school position, but still. Argh. lol. So yes, moving on, looking again. I did have an offer from an SLP in Sungbuk. Anyone hear of it? It's private, obviously, but we'll see. everything is very up in the air right now. SO frustrating. but... I'm going to try and stay positive (try being the key word. lol.)

Well, I've done it. I have landed a public school, high school, position. The job is in the outskirts of Ansan and is 10 minutes walking distance from Banwol Station. Which puts me at about 45 minutes away from central Seoul. The problem? I have to begin Dec. 1. Which means, getting everything together, getting my Visa, flying out and saying goodbye in 1 month. YIKES. That also means, no more Christmas with the family, no going to see the nutcracker, no nothing :-( bummer. but really, what it came down to was giving up location for job environment or giving up job environment for location. You can see which one won. Now i'm incredibly nervous that I've made a wrong decision in trying to leave so soon, and to somewhere I know NOTHING about the area. Partially, because there isn't anything post on the web... lol. So yup. Encouragement, advice, info on Ansan, anything would be appreciated at this point! :-)

P.S. As soon as i'm there, I want to have a huge movie marathon at my new place! Anyone interested, let me know! and any movie requests are welcomed. I'm trying to decide what to bring! lol.
