Teaching

One Summer, New Places

By Justin Tadlock on September 17, 2007

If you would’ve told me back in May, when I graduated college, that I’d be where I’m at right now or doing what I’m doing right now, I probably would’ve asked you what medication you were on.
In just a few short hours, I’ll be boarding a plane, taking off for Fukuoka, Japan. This is [...]

Seoul-Bound

By Justin Tadlock on August 10, 2007

So, I’m a little behind on blogging. Almost three months behind to be a bit more exact.
I’m not exactly sure where to start, but I’ll come out with the big news first. I’m going to Seoul, South Korea to teach English for a year. Yes, pretty big news.
