Location! Location! Location!

Here's a map of South Korea (thanks to Naver Maps), to give people a bit of an idea of where I worked in Korea before, and where I'll be working from September. Where I used to work was about 300km from Seoul. This time, I'll be a lot closer.

Last Day

It was my last day at work today. I'll be back there a few times next term, but it won't be in the computer lab. I'll be doing substitute work before I go to Korea.

Thought I should add some photos to my blog, since I haven't taken any lately:

I cleaned my room last night, and opened up my suitcase. The first thing I put in was my Korean Language books. I plan on making more of an effort to study Korean when I go back.

I got this from the principal in the staff room at Recess. It was nice to get something, and be acknowledged by everyone, even if I was only there for half a year. I've received a few glasses like these from other schools I've worked at. It seems to be the standard gift for teachers who leave. hehe.

This grade 1 student made the effort to write me a letter, since I was leaving, and also made the effort to find me after school, when everyone was rushing around to go home. It was from one of my best students in Grade 1, and felt a little happy and sad when I read this. ^^

Got told today that the school I was going to work at, decided to get their own English teacher, but only told the 경기 education board today. The education board called my recruiter to offer me a different job, still in Anseong, but in a different Elementary school. Already told my recruiter that I'll take the job, but already wrote on my application form that I accepted the job at the previous school. Was assured that it's okay, and there's no problem with that.

My main issue is with getting an apartment in Anseong city, and then getting the bus to and from work each day. I don't want to be living in another small town (or smaller than last time) again. Being only an hour from Seoul should help.
