Revealing my secret plan
Finally, after an entire year, I get to reveal what I’ve been working for since I’ve been living and working in Korea. This will be a new chapter in my life, and I hope you will join me.
My First Week In South Korea
It’s been a few days since I last blogged, I know. I’m finally settled into my apartment in Sunae. That’s after spending a week in what my coworkers call the “love motel.” I think that has something to do with the motel-provided condoms and the pay-by-the-hour rates. I’ve enjoyed the school so far, but I [...]
Seoul-Bound
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. I had somewhat of an epiphany [...]
Applying For Editor & Sample Writings
Since I’ve been a little bit lazy about posting this week, and still so tonight, I have decided to double my readers up on some content. How’s that? I’ve posted two new stories in the writings section tonight. This morning, I finally sent my resume and sample writings to the Union Springs Herald. I’m applying [...]
Thursday 13 – I Do/Don’t Like This Semester
I don’t like that I had to buy two copies of Wuthering Heights for The 19th Century British Novel. The on-campus bookstore should’ve had the correct version to start with. I do like my Bible as Literature class. There’s way too much homework, but I enjoy learning new things about the Bible. Plus, reading all [...]
Customer Service, TiVo, & New Career Idea
I just got off the phone with a guy from India who works for Amazon’s customer service department. Yes, I asked where he was from. I think it was because I’ve been reading The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman. And reading all about the outsourcing of [...]
The Cookie-Cutter American
This past Sunday, I was on the phone with my dad having a normal day-to-day conversation. So, I decided to mention that I spent part of my weekend working on the new website, Books In Bed, I’m designing. “You shouldn’t waste your time on stuff like that,” he said. (Although, he later claimed that he [...]
Event Staff Job Probably Won’t Work Out
There’s always a multitude of topics I can discuss at the end of the day; but, as usual, I have failed to leave myself adequate time to post about them before going to bed. I will, however, talk about my new job with the CSC Event Staff. Today was the first day to call and [...]
Quitting Work For Better Time Management
I quit two of my yard work jobs today, Mrs. Cannon and Mrs. Crowder. It actually went fairly well. Especially with Mrs. Cannon. I thought she’d be the hardest to get rid of, but she said she could probably find a replacement for me pretty soon. So, no worries. I just have the Pattersons left [...]
Site Paths & Last Day Of Finals
I must write this blog before I head off to bed. Well, I really have to write this blog to make myself go to bed. See, I always write right before I go to bed. That way, if I want to post about something, there will be nothing left to post after I do the [...]
