September Currently

This time last year I had just started teaching in Korea. I miss my students. I will admit that I don’t necessarily miss my co-teacher though.

I’m linking up with Farley for the monthly Currently, so mosey on over there and see what other teachers are up to these days.

Listening: I remember the first season of The Real Housewives of Orange County. I watched it for years, and then stopped. I have recently begun watching it again. It’s seriously a train wreck, and I can’t stop watching. There are a few ladies that need a good smack upside the head because they drive me absolute batty. Please tell me I’m not the only one who can’t stop watching this train wreck.

Loving: I LOVE that I can eat any kind of food that I want! If I want Mexican, I eat it. If I want bagels, I eat them. If I want Southern home cookin’, I eat it. I do not miss Korean food. Especially the eyeballs and fish with bones and scales and eyes. Not at all.

Thinking: I will admit it. I miss Korea. This reverse culture shock has been harder than I thought it would be. I miss being around other expats, people who completely understood what I was feeling. I feel a little lost and alone here at home, even though I am surrounded by friends and family. I’ve heard it’s completely normal and will get better.

Wanting: I am in the process of looking for a teaching job. It’s not easy to come back home AFTER school starts and look for a job. But I know that God has a plan and knows what he’s doing. He just hasn’t let me in on it yet.

Needing: see above

3 Trips: I have traveled to more than 40 countries (I’ve lost count….I need to recount), but there are places I would still love to go. There will always be more places I want to visit. I would love to go to India. The culture, the colors, the Taj Mahal. And I still have not been to Vegas. Crazy, I know. Another place I would love to go to is Brazil. Everything I have seen and heard about Brazil intrigues me and makes me want to go there.

Go see what other teachers are up to this month!
