I'm going to start writing in this again soon. Stay posted...



It's six months into my contract here in Suwon; just another 6 to go.
It's been a relaxing time in many ways. Leisurely mornings of coffee and walks around the lake.
Work can be a little hectic but is otherwise enjoyable.
After work, it's home to chat with friends back home on the internet or Skype.
Thor and Ria have left Seoul and are teaching in Taiwan now; Woody and Laurie have come and are here in Seoul but I haven't seen too much of them as they're busy finding new jobs and getting settled in.
Sometimes I'm bored but it really is good for me and what I need. For instance, I've finally lost my weight! Well, all but 5kg's and I'll hit that by Christmas. It's really exciting. Not partying is crucial to diet success -- unfortunately.
However, Chusok is coming up which means a few days off and I will absolutely have to go into Itaewon for a night of naughtiness. I'll probably go by myself, which isn't a problem because I always meet people there. I'll try not to get into too much trouble but I make no promises.
The school I'm working for is having financial difficulties and may close down (the owner has sold the other school she owned and is trying to put everything into making this one work), but I'm desperately hoping it stays open and does well -- at least until my contract is finished. I want to take my money and go travelling with Nadine in the Spring. We're planning S.E. Asia for a couple of months and I am so looking forward to it.
Incidently, that guy from the last entry did call again, twice, but I didn't answer.


I'm planning a trip down to Jeju for Christmas.
Finally, almost have debt paid off so will start saving soon and that will be fantastic.
I realize this is a somewhat boring entry; but I will start writing a lot more soon. And anyway, who will bother to read it? It's really just for me.
