LXXXV. Verklempt.

I'm leaving for Korea on Tuesday. I found out last night. I have a lot of explaining to do.

[From the beginning]

I knew before I came home from Korea last December '09 that I would return.

In fact, I was shooting to be back in Seoul by March at the latest.

But it was too soon with the holidays, birthdays, weddings, babies, what have you...

So I had planned on returning to Korea in August.

I was applying for many positions, but the perfect one hadn't popped up.

Then about two nights ago, a recruiter found a job that

might as well have just been tailored for me, it was that perfect.

I told my mom about it and she had been praying for that exact position; a sign of faith.

I'll be working in a school in Gangnam in Seoul, Korea,

which is exactly where I wanted to be and a tough position to find.

I'll be working with pre-school to kindergardeners which is my fav age-group,

with opportunities to use my singing and acting to engage them during lessons.

I'll have the same class all year, which is so great to develop relationships

and make a lasting, positive impact.

My salary is amazing, and to top that, we get holiday bonuses (who does that in Korea?!)

I work normal hours 9-6 so that I can eat dinner at home and be more involved in the evenings.

Ahhh.

SO, all that being said, I'm very excited but extremely sad that I'm leaving so soon.

Thankfully- I SOLD PANDA TODAY! (whew)

And my job here told me I didn't need to worry about the rest of my hours.

I got a bit verklempt today and my stomach starting acting up a LOT

so, I really hope that y'all understand.

I can only see you once since there's a lot to be done,

but please call me and let's make that happen. :)
