Lately this blog hasn’t been sounding too happy. To be honest I’m not depressed but I’m certainly dissapointed! This wasn’t how I envisioned my second year in Korea.

And not everything is bad. I met some wonderful people here and outside school life it’s pretty damn good.

Yesterday I had one of the best days in a long time. A bunch of us in the neighbourhood got together for a small bbq… and it was grand! In the park and all afternoon. Laughing. Eating. Meeting new people in my neck of the woods.

This evening I went to central Seoul to help my friend find Korean class … we didn’t make it there in time.  Instead we had coffee and met up with another English teacher for dinner at this tiny Italian restaurant. Afterwards I split up from the little group to get to line 5 and on the way popped into the Body Shop.

Walking through the city at night I remembered this was how I envisioned my second year in Korea. By the time I finally go on the subway and made it home I noticed a few people I had met the previous day and said a quick hi! The girl in the group turned to me and said, “How did a nice girl like you end up here?” All jokes aside, somehow, I’d managed to fall far from the dream. So the only real question now is what does a girl do when life turns out differently than you’d expected?

I’ve heard it recently that today is only a result of what you were focused on yesterday. The only way to change life is to start with the now… change now and the future will change as well.

Finally… I have arrived!

Two planes and one stop over at San Francisco for what was suppose to be a 2 hr stop that turned into a 3 hr stop. Thankfully, I am here now.

It’s all very interesting. It’s nothing I expected and yet very real and here.

I have been blessed to meet many people…great people who have shown me various things, places and meals. I keep meeting interesting people and that’s just in the expat community.

Life is exciting and I am a grinning like an idiot all the time so much so that my cheeks have perma-blush!
